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!

Well… Everything began with a call, which said that I had the chance to be in Comenius program, and if I wanted to take in a Polish person. Of couse I wanted to, so I accepted it. After that, a countdown started. I had curiosity to know who was gonna be my Polish person. And I feel so grateful because Óscar and Sergio chose the perfect person to me, Oliwia. We were so similar to each other, she became my little sister, my friend. She knows that she has a bed, a plate here whenever she wants to come.

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…

Farewell party-Final show

The final day arrived and, although a bit sad, we could celebrate our brotherhood by means of music, humor sketches and other creative performances. Playing the piano, the flute, the cello and the clarinet, as well as singing several songs -especially the famous We are the World-, was the best way of showing and displaying our main goal, namely, to fortify our peaceful beliefs. Everyone could hear that WE WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE.

Dear friends, it's time to prepare the next meeting. See you soon in Poland!!
