our youngest friends commitment

We have decided that the hand (“łapka”) cutout that we used when taking a photo of the inhabitants of our town is a good symbol and it can be developed further in our project.

In the week from 11^th to 15^th April the youngest pupils of our school took part in tolerance lessons. The teachers had a brainstorm discussion with them and they enjoyed some drama and art activities.

The 1^st graders then could participate in a competition to decorate their hand cutouts according to their artistic vision. The 2^nd and 3^rd graders made colorful “Tolerance Trees” where they stuck slips with their ideas of tolerance.

They worked brilliantly and we are going to display their works in our Comenius Corner. Later we will give all the students and their teachers “Certificate of Tolerant Group” and award them with sweet treats. We are really happy to see our youngest friends being so eager to show their talents and share their precious knowledge.

Our project

The title of our project is "Tolerance In My Europe" and it is a Comeniusmultilateral school partnership in Lifelong Learning Programme financed by Fundacja Rozwoju Systyemu Edukacji.
The project aims at raising students` and local community members` awareness of differences in cultural, socio-economic and racial respects. In the course of the project students will have the opportunity to learn more about other cultures and to make sure that people from various cultural backgrounds are able to work together to promote European values. In this process they will be given the opportunity to express their ideas about tolerance in various artistic forms. Participation in different activities will instill tolerance, develop sensitivity towards the problem of intolerance, enhance communication and interaction skills and teach participants how to live in a multicultural Europe.
ur partnership was established for reasons of mutual interest in improving intercultural competences of students, teachers as well as members of the local communities and enhancement of motivation for learning and tolerating differences in cultural, socio-economic and racial respects.
Our students need to develop deeper understanding of the diversity of European cultures, languages, socio-economic groups and European values and at the same time to acquire basic life skills and competences for both their personal development and their future employment. They need to learn how to live in multicultural societies as they would probably look for job opportunities throughout Europe, not only in their local communities. The mobilities provided by a Comenius project will definitely broaden their horizons and give them ideas of what they might do for a better life in the future.
Moreover, it will help them enhance their motivation for learning foreign languages, ICT, social/civic studies and arts, as these will also help them prepare for their future life. Besides, involvement in all the stages of the project will teach them to communicate and interact better and develop an entrepreneurship and community spirit that they may lack at the moment but they need for their future development. Through exchange, cooperation and mobility they are expected to acknowledge and overcome differences, so that they develop a more tolerant attitude.
Teachers need to improve their capacity to work in interdisciplinary teams and become open to innovations and new methods of teaching. They will also have the opportunity to build on knowledge of other school systems. Last but not least, partners really hope their joint project will improve the social atmosphere at their schools and result in a stronger European Dimension.
To sum up, all participating parties need to learn to appreciate other ways of thinking and living and thus become more active citizens of Europe.
