▶Objectives
The project served to strengthen cooperation among project participants. It also aimed to strengthen language competence in the participants, especially in speaking, and resulted in a better perception of German among students who are reluctant to learn it. Participation in the project influenced the promotion of the school, whose offer became more attractive.
▶Activities
The project included two mobilities in Poland and Italy and a follow-up visit to Modena. All activities planned in the project were carried out. The students participated in classes at the Polish and Italian schools, presented information about their schools and countries in German, summarized the project activities in a forum, learned about the sights of the area, which were guided by the students to practice speaking. Workshops on the creation and use of storycubes were prepared, while in Italy there was a workshop on interacting with art and a workshop on Gothic handwriting. The project participants visited Torun and Ravenna with a German-language guide, and Bologna and Wolsztyn with self-guided tours. In Italy, participants visited the European center in Modena, Participants learned about the methodology of making balsamic vinegar. They spent afternoons playing board games, dancing, singing and socializing. After the mobility in Italy, a follow-up visit to Modena was held, during which it was decided to continue the cooperation.
▶Impact
Already during the second mobility, the project participants were definitely more willing to talk in German and present information about the project, the school or the places they visited in the forum. The participants formed friendships. Italian participants verified their stereotypes about Poland and already in December 2023 two participants came again to Grodzisk with their families to visit our country. The project created storycubes that will remain to be used in language classes in Italian and Polish schools and to disseminate the results in elementary schools, where participants conducted lessons using the cubes. Participants in the project, while attending lessons at Polish and Italian schools, learned about the education system at both schools. The students generally would not have had the opportunity to learn about daily Italian life and everyday Polish life in the homes of their hosts, which participation in the project gave them. As part of the project, board games were purchased for the implementation of the project program, which will remain at the school and be used with the Erasmus project label. Four participants had the opportunity to fly on an airplane for the first time, which certainly broadened their horizon
