From 1 December to 3 December of 2010 we visited the “Społeczne Gimnazjum Jezykowe” in Lębork, a small city in the North of Poland, not very far from the sea. But very far from Warsaw, because it took us 8 hours of train to get there! Fortunately Polish trains are always favorable for interesting encounters!
During these three days, we presented our countries – Armenia and France – and conducted workshops on the topic of children’s rights for 132 students aged from 13 to 15 years old.
We tried to make presentations and workshops interactive in order to allow the students to share their experiences and knowledge about Polish culture, traditions and language with us, as well as to learn about France, Armenia and children’s rights. They were especially surprised to discover the preeminent role of Poland in the development of children’s rights: indeed, they learned that Janusz Korczak was the first man to write about children’s rights in the 1920’s and that Poland was the country which requested the United Nations to work on an international Convention on children’s rights.
We also enjoyed spending time in Lębork in spite of the cold weather, we met incredibly nice people and we would like to thank them again for their warm welcoming we hope to see you again soon!
