BOYS, GIRLS AND COMENIUS

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

Oh… Whenever I recall my days spent among participants of Comenius on my cheeks flow drops of sadness, then I look at my phone and I see “Hi, how are you today” – message from my lovely friends who I met on the best of the project in my life, then on my wet face appears smile.

                Comenius in my opinion is the best way to make friends abroad. I met wonderful students and teachers from Spain, France and Portugal. I could improve my English and Spanish. Discover culture, customs, even food from these countries. I spent magical time with they in Paris also in my city. It was fantastic.

 In spite of finishing this sensational international project,  I wish met one more time together. I want to shout THANKS, it was worthwhile!!!

Our project is finished. What can I say about it? Surely I can say that it was great experience for me because I could know new people, their cultures and make friends. We spent a lot of time together for talking, laughing, playing different sports, singing and dancing, that was really amazing. We also could practice languages which we’re learning in the school. But the best thing in this project was relation which burned between us.

This project showed me though we come from four other countries we are almost the same, people from France, from Spain, from Portugal and from Poland, we like that same music, that same movies, that same pop-stars, we have similar problems, love stories and a lot of other things. And that was fantastic! We wasn’t looking for somebody’s external appearance but for his soul.
I hope that we’ll meet someday once again.

The last of student exchanges from the project „Comenius” was in Poland. It lasted about one week. During this time we had a chance to see our foreign friends met in Paris once again and a lot of new people from France, Spain and Portugal. On Wednesday we were sightseeing the castle in Łańcut and on Thursday we organised a ‘culture day’, when every group from the project showed a presentation of songs, dances and even a theatre performance. After that everyone could taste food from Poland, Spain, France and Portugal.
This exchange was a big opportunity to practise language skills, know other cultures an – of course – make new friends.

I've been atending the Comenius program since the first year in our school. Obviously these 3 years were full of work, but they were absolutely worth it. It's been na amazing experience to meet so many people from other countries, to talk to them and get to know them. I'm really grateful  for this opportunity because thanks to the Comenius I improved my English and Spanish too. Moreover, I was so lucky that I had a chance to visit Paris. We spent there a week, and it was probably one of the best in my life. This year all the Comenius's people came to Poland and it was amazing to show them our city. We were playing together and we were spending time talking and laughing. 

To sum up, I'm really thankful that I had a chance to be a part of this program. It was a wonderful experience.

Last month the people from abroad arrived to Poland. We could to meet lot of gorgeus people and to know better their culture. French and Portuguese people slept in a hotel and Spanish people lived in our homes with us. We were preparing a tradicional polish food for them. Every day they could to see the most important monuments and beautiful place in our city. This was really great time for me. I really want to meet them again.

This year, during one week we guested teenagers from Spain, France and Portugal. On monday-first day of their visit in Rzeszów I met my new Spanish friend - Yaiza. We went to my home to she can left her luggage and later we went to town square to welcome to each other. On Thuesday they all first time visited our school and later went to city hall to meet president of Rzeszów. Later, after dinner they visited underground. Wednesday was a day with a lot of attraction. First we all went to Lańcut castle and later we took a part in city game. Next day we had in our school celebrated international party. We could listen to music from every country, national dance and later try typical national cuisine. On Friday we had to say goodbye to people from France and later we spend nice time with Portugueses by the river and after dinner we farewell. On Saturday we all had free time to spend it with spanish people. For me Comenius was one of the best things in my life. I met new people and practised Spanish a lot.

I took part in Comenius this year. I'm so grateful to have this opportunity. I loved it! It was a great experience for me. I met a lot of new people from other countries and I got to know their cultures. One of the most important thing which stems from Comenius is that all of us could improve both English and Spanish.

First part of Comenius was a trip to Paris which, I think I like the most. It was the best trip which I have ever been on. It was a wonderful time!

A year later, those people who I met in France, came to Poland. They spent here about one week. We were making a lot of different things. For example, we went to the castle in Lancut. Students from Poland organised a field game which was a great chance to visit some important places in Rzeszow and spend time with each other. In spite of bad weather, we had fun.

Everybody was depressed when we had to say goodbye to them.

I think that we will always remember this students exchange and people we met.

I wish I could meet them once again because they were wonderful!

In last month students from Spain, Portugal and France visited Rzeszów. On Monday they arrived to Rzeszów and came with us to houses and to the hotel. On Tuesday they visited our school and city hall. After that we came to underground, which is on our town square. On Wednesday we went to the Castle in Łańcut. It really beautiful. On Wednesday afternoon we played city game. We had a lot of fun during this event and our guests had a possibility to know Rzeszów better. On Thursday we organized a international party in our school. We could try snacks from other countries and we could listen to their typical music. On Friday we spend time in park by the river Wisłok. We played volleyball and talked to each other. Later we had a free time so we could spend it with our friends. Unfortunately Saturday was the end of our adventure, which Comenius was for us. It was amazing experience, and we're not going to forget it for a long time.

Our meeting with people from Spain, Portugal and France was fantastic!

Even at first day when we met them, we had so much to say! Of course, they told us about their culture and we learned a lot their language. They were teaching us for example how to introduce ourselves or even count to ten. They met our city, our culture and our tradicion. We had trip to Łańcut where they could see how did the reach people lived in 19th century. Later, we organised for them a game which demanded running through our city and solving riddles. Of course, we're all the winners! On Thursday we could try their dishes and it was really difficult challenge. We spent many time toegether and we were like family for that week- and we still are. We keep in touch all the time and I hope that one day we'll meet toegether again!

It was the best week of my live. When I met all these people from France, Spain and Portugal I was the happiest men in the world. It was a great opportunity to improve my English and Spanish. I learnt a lot about different world, different countries. I had a lot of fun during sightseeing a castle in Łańcut. I have never been there before so it was great that we could do there. I really liked the city game. We showed our friends interesting places in Rzeszów. There was so much fun when suddenly started to rain. We all got wet. But the best part at all was that I made a lot of new friends. I hope we will meet again some day.

I could get to know the culture of different part of Europe and check if my spanish and english is good enough to talk with people from other countries. It was wonderful time with wonderful people.

Comenius gave me the opportunity to meet new people and create new friendships. Because of it I was able to visit Paris (France) and see all of the famous places and amazing monuments. I improved my English and Spanish too. It also allowed me to learn about other culture. It was the best experience ever!

Thanks to Comenius I could meet amazing people, create new friendships. It allowed me to visit Paris and see cultures which are a little bit different from mine. Comenius also helped me to practise speaking English and Spanish. I really enjoyed this project and every activities connected with it.
