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.

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....

I´m going to Poland

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
