Day of Tolerance celebration

It was a memorable and cool event! Our art team prepared a few posters on tolerance that later made up a small exhibition. On the 16th we pronounced the Declaration of Tolerance by UNESCO and also the primary students attended a performance on the topic of tolerance played by a theatre group from Cracow. We had a great competition for the craziest outfit. It was extremely difficult to choose one so we gave 5 equal prizes! Our school was really colorful that day and  surely more tolerant!!!

Our Team

The survey

Last week we conducted a survey among all students attending 1st and 2nd form of our secondary school to examine their expectations from  the project.

35 students took part in the survey. Most of them (95%) think that TIME project is a great idea, 3 of them are not sure if our school will manage with it. None of them thinks of the project as useless.

The second question dealt with project aims. 20 surveyed perceived "Getting to know foreign cultures" as the most important aim. 15 students liked the objective of "Improving language skills". Only one student doesn't like any of the project objectives.

Six students admitted that the idea of the project has not been explained to them sufficiently enough. 22 of the people questionned already belong to the Comenius team, 7 would like to join and 6 are not interested.

Question number 5 dealt with students' expectations. 14 of them would like to improve their language skills, 12 students said that they want to develop their talents as well as gain skills that will be useful in their further education and job. Visit to partner countries is important for 11 surveyed and 10 of them expect to make friends abroad.

5 students have their own ideas on how to develop our project. They would like to organize sport competitions during working meetings and they would like to have more ICT tasks.

Greek partner

Unforunatly, the Greek partner has resigned form participation in our project. Nevertheless, we are eager to continue the work and have plenty of fun with our partners in Bulgaria and Hungary.
