Zespół Szkół Ogólnokształcących PSP i PG in Wolanów (14 June 2011)

14th of June: back to Radom. New school, new teachers, new students. Indeed, last week we returned to Radom – or not exactly, to Wolanów, a small village next to Radom - for our last school visit of the year. Not many Polish people know about this place, but as we realized after 7 months of school visits, we know many place in Poland that even Polish people don’t know!

We were invited by the Zespół Szkół Ogólnokształcących PSP i PG, and met there about 30 students aged 13-16. We really appreciated that so many students came to meet us on a voluntary basis, because they were the last days of the school year, the classes ended already and they were not obliged to attend our workshop.

 We had presentations about our countries, France and Armenia, and then a workshop on the European Union, European countries, languages, etc. At the end of the workshop, each team of students had to take a paper with the name of a country on it and pantomime it so that the other teams would guess which country they were pantomiming. The students were very creative and it was very funny to watch (we even have videos in the gallery that you can watch!)

After the school visit our host, Magdalena Zarębska, took us to Wolanów’s best Pierogarnia and we had a very nice time, Such a nice time that we completely forgot about our bus and had to run not to miss it, but we missed it anyway! Magdalena tried to follow the bus with her car and we felt like in a spy movie, driving as fast as possible trying to catch up with the bus! We finally managed and came back to Warsaw happy, fatter and najedzone! :-D

Zespół Szkół nr 1 in Żelechów (30 May 2011)


On 30 April, I visited the Zespół Szkół  nr 1 in Żelechów. I met different classes from students aged 16-18 and we had workshops about France, the European Union’s history, functioning, flag, but also about the Euro and the different European countries and languages. We learnt how to say „I love you” in French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German and even in Portuguese… Thank you all for your nice welcome, I had a great day!
