Meeting our friends again.

Hi from Giusy and Alessia, Chieri, Torino, Italy. We are enjoying our last lessons at school, since the school year is going to the end. We spent a week in Portugal in October and we have a wonderful memory of this experience. What a great time we had with our Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, German friends! Now we feel much more European than we did!
While we were in Portugal we met many students from the other European schools, and now they are our friends. This experience has changed us in a positive way, expanding our horizons since we have visited new cities and have had contacts with fantastic people, new cultures and customs.
Then we met again in Italy where we well came our friends as guests you have been with happiness. It was wonderful meeting our friends again, but was rather difficult to leave when they went home!
We hope that the summer won’t be so long, ‘cause we can’t wait to start again the Comenius Project and meet our friends from Poland, German, Romania, Portugal again.

Our memories!!

Hi!!!! We're Giulia, Razvan and Beatrice from Liceo Monti, Chieri(ITALY). While we were watching the photos of Berlin and Almada, we thought about the beautiful days spent with the Comenius' friends!!! Thank to this experience we met great persons, saw fantastic cities and improved our English skills and last, but not least, we felt great European girls and boys!

In these days we are studying so much, because here in Ital school will finish in a month !! Anyway.. We also enjoy ourselves,going to the cinema, to the disco, and to the shopping centres with our friends!

Now we want to show some photos about our time in Berlin!
We hope we will see you soon!!! Kisses... Giulia, Bea and Raz!!

Good bye Polska

We said good bye to all partners and a special "Gencooyea" (Dziekuge) to our hosts.

It is the final mobility of this project (after Berlin, Costanta, Lisboa, Chieri) and we mill already our friends and partners.

See you..... next time.

Torun - visit on foot.

Torun is one of the most interesting cities of Poland, founded on the right bank of the river Vistula by the Teutonic Hnights and is easily covered on foot. That´s what we did, with a local guide.

We saw numerous buildings from Renaissance, Ghotic and Baroque style.

We saw the Museum of Nicolaj Kopernic (Nicolau Copérnico) and our meeting point was, always, near the statue of Kopernic.

During the visit we had to buy food for dinner and breakfast. We spend the night in a hostal in Torun and return to Polkowice late on tuesday.

Time for the last shopping in the supermarket and to say goodbye to all partners and hosts.

"Palac Lomnica" and Lubin

Sunday .... day to spend with families and partners.

The teachers went to see some palaces and to the shopping in Lubin.... like the students.

Tomorrow we will go in a school trip to Torun, 400 km to the north of the country.

The medieval old town of Torun is the birthplace of Nicolau Copernico and in 1997 was listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We will sleep there one night.

Stay in Poland

I'm enjoying very much this trip, the country is different, people are really nice, the house where I am is beautiful, my hosts are fantastic... so I'm loving to be here! It's so good to have another kind of expirience! You can practise your english, you can know many people all over the Europe, know different cultures... that's really interesting and I'm enjoying to do all these things! I think I will miss all I did in Poland (Polkowice, Wrocław, Złoty Stok, Lubin...) but specially, in Polkowice, where I knew everyone.

Beatriz Martins(from Weronika's teacher's account)

Looking for the "sex"

Today we went to Wroclaw, a beatiful city with a lot of bridges, called the Venice of Poland.

The sighseeing of Wroclaw was after a lesson about Antropology in Wroclaw University. We learn how to distinguish the sex (male or female) of some skulls. Also we learn a lot about the evolution of human species at the Museum of Man.

And then we walk a lot, among friends, with a a fantastic sun.

Tomorrow is free time for everybody, with our polish hosts.

A big adventure: looking for Gold

Today we went to an ancient gold mine in Zloty Stok. We look for gold, we visited anciens galleries, we took a trip in a boat inside the mine and also a trip in a very noisy train.

Lots of fun.

Yuppy.....

Yes, we made it....inspite of the cloud and the vulcano, we have our feet in Polish soil. And we are very tired, but... VERY HAPPY.

We are going to Poland

After an ash cloud and all the troubles of a volcano eruption, it seems that it is possible to fly over Europe.

We hope so.

We have new tickets and tomorrow we will try to reach our hosts and partners in Polkowice.

Wish a nice trip.....

We will miss the Conference (2)

We will miss....

We will miss the International Conference of Earth Day:

We hate the Volcano

Hi everyone!!

My name is Inês and I am going to Poland too, so we are going to meet there! I had a great experience last October, when I received a girl from Poland in my house! I didn’t try to go to Italy because I was really excited with the idea of going to Poland and see my friends that I miss so much! I’m sure it’s going to be amazing and an unforgettable week… See you soon J

Inês

I´m going to Poland

Hi everybody!

My name’s Beatriz, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Portugal.

In October I receive a German girl in my house and I really like the experience!

I didn’t go to Italy, so I inscribed me to go to Poland.

I’m a simple and funny girl, but a little shy. I don’t live without music, I love to sing! My favourite subjects are English and Arts. My favourite hobbies are painting, sing, go out with my friends and go to the cinema all Fridays with my best friends. I don’t know more anything to say, so, see you soon!

I´m going to Poland

Hi, I am Joana, I am 17 y.o. (I´ll be 18 soon, on 14th April).
I don´t really know what to say, but i know that i am supposed to describe myself, so i have to do it..
This is going to be the first time i´ll visit an other country, by Comenius Project. I received a German girl in my home and i think this program is so nice to meet new people and learn other things. I hope to have a great time there with you and your family.
I am a kind person, but quite shy. I need time to know people but i think that won´t be a problem. I really love kids and animals, so if you have a big family i´ll be very happy
I like so much to play sports, i play volleyball, at school with my friends and it´s quite funny i like it a lot! I like traveling, shopping, singing (especially karaoke) and many other things..
I don´t remember anything more to say.

See you soon

HI!!!!!
The Days in Italy was and are going to be awesome.
We already visited Milan Chieri and today we are going to the Turin.

I hope that the future trips are going to be fun.

Milano e Chieri - the begining

We started early in the morning on Sunday. Travel a lot by plane to Milan and walked for 4 hours with some bags to see the Duomo, Vittorio Emanuele Galleries and the Scala. And it was worth it.

Then we took a fantastic train to Torino, near Cheiri, our final destination.

On Monday we went to Liceo A. Monti for some lessons, like music lesson, and for lunch. Then we had a guided tour around the cold but beautiful Chieri. We also visited the Textile Museum.

We are enjoying but our feet are complaining.

Tomorrow we will give you more news.

Our next meeting is coming soon. So is time to remember our last October 2009 in Almada - Portugal.

Portuguese Carnival

Hello friends!
We are writing to tell you about the Portuguese Carnival traditions.
Here in Almada, we wear masks and we do a Carnival Parade on Sunday and on Tuesday. This parade is organized by the local schools with the cooperation of the Town Hall.
In Portugal, we call "Domingo Gordo", which means "Fat Sunday" and "Entrudo" that is on Tuesday. On Wednesday, is "Quarta-feira de Cinzas" that's when we bury Carnival.
In other Portuguese villages and towns, there are different and very original traditions.


During these festivities, we play tricks and we have a lot of fun.
You can see same pictures of the parades.

the Polish winter 2010

Dear Comenius friends ! I'm writing to let you know what's the weather in Poland like lately. There are tons of snow everywhere ! The temperatures are really low, sometimes at night it's -25 degrees ! Personally, I can't wait for the spring to come.

Some of you will meet each other in Italy very soon - unfortunately, I'm a last year student so I am not able to go now, but I'm sure it'll be amazing !
See you soon in Poland, we can't wait for you to visit us.
Weronika <3
