Students at the Jesuit Elementary School in Gdynia are participating in an international Erasmus project focused on uncovering the mysteries of the world of trees. The project, which began last year, will last until May 2023. Below we publish a brief description of the activities carried out under the project by students from Gdynia together with students from Lithuanian, Greek and Latvian schools.
As part of the project, we create inspiring activities on the topic of trees: games, creative works, research, facts and cultural aspects. The works of our school and partner schools are posted on the website, you can see them HERE.
A Camp in Lithuania
The project also included two international meetings. The first meeting was a Camp in Lithuania in July 2022. The Camp was held under the theme: Surrounded by forest.
The camp was full of activities related to the theme of trees: walking with a map, visiting natural history museums with trees characteristic of Lithuania, learning how to light a fire, making medallions in wood, playing theater, dancing, visiting wooden monuments, etc.
Young scientists
The second meeting was held in October 2022 at our school in Gdynia under the theme "Young Scientists." The program of the visit to Gdynia included workshops and field games, as well as a workshop conducted by students of the Jesuit High School under the guidance of Mr. Blazej Kochanski of the Gdansk University of Technology entitled. "How to weigh a dog with a ruler," sightseeing in Gdynia, Gdansk, and Toruń. There were also games and creative works in the theme of trees: making wooden jewelry, painting on glass, etc. We ended the project with a Holy Mass, games and dinner together. Such meetings are an intense, joyful time, full of attractions, interesting ways to gain knowledge and international friendships.
Each international meeting brings together representatives of partner schools: 4 students and 2 teachers, a total of 24 people.
Our next meeting will take place in May 2023 in Greece, and then we will start preparing for the international online conference that a school from Latvia is preparing for us in the fall.
