Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2014 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You will also find the links to the two videos,
summarizing our meetings, there. By the way, the
piece of Bach we used as the soundtrack for the
meeting in Germany is the same we listened to at
the cathedral of Oliva in Poland.
Elisabethenburg Palace Meiningen told my students
the project was a very good idea. I will not get into
detail about the people who think projects and
exchanges are useless…
Last but not least, we could experience everyday
life in our neighbouring country and find out the
truth about stereotypes.
All that would not have been possible if we weren’t
living in Poland and Germany: Deutsch-Polnisches
Jugendwerk - Polsko-Niemiecka Współpraca
Młodzieży supported our exchange. So, if you are
German or Polish, you should definitely go for it.
You can apply for grants covering part of your
programme and the travel expenses of the Polish
group.
In addition to that, local press covered three of our
projects; we took part in a local lungs health event
and won a prize with our “Be smart, don’t start”
song – of course, we also handed out flyers about
the project –, and “Europe’s Sweet Tooth” got the
attention of pastry chefs and chocolatiers all over
Europe. Our charity bake sale, using recipes our
partners had published, was in local newspapers,
too.
The project was visible, but it was perceived in
different ways. All the experts I contacted in the
preparation process were delighted, the curator of
Bachhaus Eisenach immediately offered an
additional lecture on Wanda Landowska, who was
born in Warsaw and came to Eisenach to play Bach.
