Slovenian team : Tanja, Borislava, Zdenka,
Sabina, Janja and Sara visited our project partners in Poland.
Polish
teachers and students prepared a lovely
reception for us and they greeted us nicely.
Our studens Sara and Janja adapted without problems and quickly attached
contacts with Croatian and Poland students from the school host.
All the
participant partners in the project prepared a music-dance routine that
presented the country the performers are coming from. At the end we all had fun
dancing together because we all tried to dance the dance routine from other
countries. It was really fun but the most important thing is that we all felt
connected and ready to work together.
We participated in different workshops (art
therapy, making flowers out of wool like material, cooperation with University
of Third Age and cooperation with hihg-school students). Including older people
in school work was a great idea because they had given us a lot of useful
knowledge that they got from their life experiences. Our school has already
been included in a project like this one. We are currently considering in
re-establishing it.
They have introduced us different methods and
work techniques(Biofeedback therapy, using technology as a mean to motivate
students and art therapy). We are intrested in trying them out and using the
therapy type at our school. Children could be easily taught to recognize and
control their emotional reactions.
Many motivational comptuter programs for learning
different teaching contents have been introduced to us. Our students
participated at workshops (English and Croatian group). Work was fun and
educational for them.
We were acquainted with Polish school system
for elementary and high school. Our school system is quite similar to theirs.
The only difference are the exams taken at the end of the year. The exams are
not adapted for children with special needs.
We also visted the City hall where the Deputy
Mayor greeted us
and the Solutions at Polish special educational system (workshops
in Private Institution for Adult Disabled Persons and workshops in Special
Vocational School).
The city Cracow fascinated us with its
beautiful sights. Auswitz left a big impact on us.
We came back home filled with unforgetable
memories.
We would like to emphasize: good organisation and managment,
demonstrations of new and interesting methods and work techniques for children
with special needs,
good cooperation between partners, hospitality and kindness
of local people, excelent Poland cuisine and sweet culinary delights in the
teachers room.
Thank you Polish team 💗 |
