Let's plant a tree for peace in Barakaldo!

As we published in a older thread, our Polish friends planted in October, 2014 the "son" of the Gernika Oak Tree in Ostrów-Wielkopolski.

Now it's our turn to show you how ours is growing! Mikel has arranged an special display to remember our friendship through this symbol which connects us (and reminds us the very meaning of our project).

Summing up

It's time to summ up our dream, our common project. Thanks to Magda Droszcz, who arranged this nice video, and to everyone engaged in one of the most unforgettable experiences in our life.

Music connects nations

This activity has been the last one related to our project. The music has been a very important feature of it and, apart from the different concerts and festivals taking place during the visits, this quiz on famous Polish and Spanish composers has summarized -so to speak- the great connection between two of us. Enclosed are the files including the information used by each group in the competition, as well as the links with two songs -Polish students sing in Spanish and the latter, in Polish- which have also become a sort of anthem for all of us.

Philosophy lesson by Iwona Śmiechowska

The philosophy lesson designed by Miss Iwona Śmiechowska dealt with the process of getting to the core of ourselves. Undoubtedly the latter is said to be one of the most important goals of our whole life. Iwona introduced the activity by means of poems and an original comparison: the onion and its structure as a good example to depict the need of finding out your own convictions and personality.

Polonaise and Basque Dances

Dancing traditional dances has been an important point in our project. Thus, Zazpi Jauzi, Esku Dantza and Mari Jaia -regarding Basque dances- and Polonaise, were rehearsed and, finally, danced during the final show.

Lesson on History of Poland

Jakub taught us some important dates and events regarding the History of Poland, mainly the Golden Age of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This is the Power Point presentation used as the basis of his lesson. Furthermore, the video depicts one of the most famous Polish military units, the Hussars.

Christmas Concert

Singing carols was an important activity deployed during this fourth meeting taking place in Poland in January. It was funny to share our traditional songs and everyone was more than happy singing them. Basque, Polish and Spanish carols were rehearsed in the morning and later, performed in the Christmas Concert. After the concert, we could taste traditional Basque and Polish Christmas meals too.

Auschwitz-Oświęcim 70 years ago

Today we remember and commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It's also time to remember one of the most meaningful moments lived during our second meeting in Poland. Comenius students could visit the two concentration camps on 12 January 2015.

Merry Christmas from Barakaldo!

Christmas time in the Basque Country-The story of OLENTZERO, by Marina and Raquel

In Basque Country woods, many years ago, a very pretty fairy was living. The fairy had blond long hair and such a brilliant eyes. Like all fairies, she always took care of all the people and she was always accompanied by some creatures called Prakagorri (red trousers) that they helped her in all her work.

Let’s plant a tree for peace!

On 10 October we celebrate Tree Day in Poland. It is a national action for planting trees. That’s why we decided to plant an oak today. Our message is: Let’s plant a tree for peace!

This tree is a gift from our friends from Barakaldo. It comes from Gernika, which was bombed in 1937 and is the symbol of peace.

Gernikako Arbola (the tree of Gernika in Basque) is an oak tree that symbolizes traditional freedoms for the Biscayan people, and by extension for the Basque people as a whole. The Lords of Biscay (including the early kings of Castile and Carlist pretenders to the throne) swore to respect the Biscayan liberties under it, and the modern Lehendakari of the Basque Country swears his charge there.

For us this tree is a symbol of freedom and peace, too.

We hope that it will grow near our school and remind us of our friendship.

Best wishes from Ostrów Wielkopolski!

Peace with recycled devices

Sergio's memories

One week ago we said goodbye to our new Polish mates at the airport. We felt sad, it was a difficult moment. But now, we can look back and think about the awesome week we have been able to enjoy. It has been one of the busiest of our life, but I´m sure it has been the best. These seven days haven´t only been an exchange and some trips. It has been an amazing experience. We have met each other, we have discovered our cultures, we have learnt the importance of peace, we have visited wonderful places, we have made excellent friends, we have laughed…
