My Comenius days in Poland by:

Andrius Daraškevičius

On September 19 Thursday, at 22:30 our group arrived at Warsaw’s bus station. Lithuania’s group was of 6 people: 4 students and 2 teachers. Then students’ hosts came to pick up students from our group to their houses. I arrived at my host families flat after about 20 to 30 minutes.  The flat was on the 4^th floor. My host family greeted me nicely, then I had  dinner with them. I had a separate bedroom that I really liked.

The next day, September 20 Friday, in the morning the official welcome at school took place. After that we had a lesson of Polish geography and history, a lesson of Polish national dance – Polonez and a lecture about Polish Way to Democracy. After that, students from various countries showed their projections. They were very interesting. Later we had lunch and went sightseeing Warsaw’s old town in small groups of students and teachers. The old town is really nice and it’s similar to Vilnius’ old town.

On Saturday, September 21, early in the morning teachers and students left to Gdansk by bus. The trip was about 6 hours long. After arriving to Gdansk, the whole Comenius group was accommodated at Gdansk Youth hotel. The rooms were big and tidy. About 5-8 students lived in one room. After lunch our group visited the museum of Gdansk shipyard. The exhibition “Ways to Freedom” was very interesting, I and other people learned about Poland’s way to freedom. After the exhibition we had a guided tour of Gdansk old town. Then I had lunch and some free time. My host guided me in the town.

The next day we left the hotel and went to Sopot by bus. After arrival we walked along the Sopot Pier, the longest pier in the Europe. Also, some of us went to the beach. After that we had lunch and left to Warsaw by bus.

This trip left me a very good memory and I really liked it.

 My Comenius days in Poland

On 19th September we left Lithuania and went to Poland. This was my second Comenius project meeting. My days spent in Poland went so quickly. The family where I lived was very hospitable, caring and nice.

All trips and free time were amazing.The programme let me know more about the Polish culture and have fun at the same time. It is unfortunate that, without the arrival and departure, in Poland we had only three days, so time passed very quickly. During this visit, I was not only in Warsaw, but we also visited Gdansk and Sopot. Gdansk fascinated me with the ancient buildings and also the city's beauty. My most emotions had been caused in Sopot. First time I have seen such a beautiful sea. We all walked along the longest bridge in Europe. In the evening all students spent time together or did something what they wanted.

I can say, that time hadn't been wasted.  I met a lot of interesting and new people from other parts of Europe and learned a bit about their countries and history. I had a wonderful time. This trip was unforgettable.
