one day, one town, one idea!

27th March 2011 at 12:30 more than 300 inhabitants of Lipiany pose for a joint photo in front of the Town Hall. Our team distributed cut outs of hands in different colours so that the participants could wave to everybody in Europe. It is a friendly symbol of unity and openess. Among the people there were The Mayor, Mr Krzysztof Boguszewski, The School Principal Mrs Dorota Chrobrowska, members of The Old Motors Club, representatives of our school students' council, lovely cheerleaders and surely our team!
That was a great day and a great view of lovely smiling people enjoying this simple yet unifying activity.

radio announcement

today we visited the local radio station to give an interview about our project as well as announce our next event. On 27th March we will take a photo of the people of Lipiany to show how important is to make things together no matter social position, background, views, appearance etc.
 See you there!

WE AND THEY

(based on Rudyard Kipling poem)

Father, Mother and Me

Sister and Auntie say

All the people like us are We

And everyone else is They

And They live over the sea

While We live over the way

But – would you believe it – They look upon We

As only a sort of They!

We have legs, arms and bellies

They also have them but in a different color

We have families, We eat meat and fruit

They also eat, drink and live – as we do!

Sometimes it’s difficult for Them

To understand that We are Them

Just in a different skin.

We are different to Them, but They are Us

They work, earn, learn and buy

We go to work, spend money and go to school

They love and we know how to love

We’re different to them but They are equal

The world isn’t’ divided – They must understand

That we are Them and They are Us!

All the people like us are We

And everyone else is They

And They live over the sea

While We live over the way

But – would you believe it – They look upon We

As only a sort of They!

We work hard at work

And eat a lot of pork

They paint their faces

And have beautiful eyes

We are very strong

And often take things wrong

They like a lot of flowers

And smell them for a few hours

Do you know who are They?

We like danger

They read scandalous magazines

We have garage dirty

They are really pretty

We are different from Them

But everybody has a common aim

Do you know who are They?

While We live over the way

But – would you believe it – They look upon We

As only a sort of They!

We do a lot of homework

And have a little free time

They sign under our success with a smirk

And fight with school crime

While they watch TV

We make learning aids and pray

We eat horrible food in a canteen

And wear hideous uniforms

They are always in a bad mood

And teach Us when it’s warm outside

We really need more freedom

They can’t wait for holidays

And – impudent heathen! – They look upon We

As a quite impossible They!
