Secondary School_Poland

Hello !

My name is Elżbieta Feret. I am Ph.D. in University of Law and Public Administration in Rzeszów in Poland. Besides of that I am the coordinator of Erasmus Programm in my Uni. Because of that

I would like to help one of the Polish secondary school prepare the Comenius Programm. This secondary school is very important to me because I finished (a long time ago, of course) it and thanks the education I can be who I am. Besides of that this is the school of my 16 years old daughter. Me and my Polish partners, the teachers from this school prepare the Programm for Comenius and we are looking the partners. We would like to sign the agreement with Spanish school because the pupils in this Polish school, besides of English language learn Spanish, too.

Besides of that this is a chool with the tradions. This is The Konarski Secondary School in Rzeszów (1 High School in Rzeszów them. Father Stanislaw Konarski) is one of the oldest secondary schools in Poland.  The school is a coeducational public secondary school. Located in the old town in a historic building designed by Tylman van Gameren, it plays an important role in the cultural life of Rzeszow and Subcarpathia Province. A little bit history: The school was founded in 1658 by Sophia Prudencjanna Ligęza and her brother-in-law, Jerzy Sebastian
Lubomirski.  From 1658 until 1784 the school was named as Collegium Resoviense and was run by the Piarists order.  In the 17th and 18th Centuries the school was Recognized as an important cultural center. In 1785, after the First Partition of Poland Austrian Authorities removed the school from Piarist control and changed the name to Rzeszow's Ober-Gymnasium.  During World War I and Polish-Soviet War teachers and
students took part in fighting for the independence of Poland.  In 1923 the school was named for Stanislaw Konarski.  During World War II, many teachers, students and graduates took part in the resistance movement.  In 1949 the school was reorganised into a four-year high school and in 1964 it Became a coeducational high school. Since 2004 it is three-year high school.

Summary of the project
Aims, objectives, general approach  
Lodz* in a virtual cruise around the Baltic seaports

Imagine the Boat floating silently across the space of the Baltic Sea…

Lodz (the Boat) is going to take “on board” the participants of the program from Baltic countries (Poland, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Finland and Denmark) and take them on a cruise over the most important seaports of the Baltic Sea.  The cruise is to be divided into stages. Each stage is to end with the arrival at a different seaport.
The program is addressed to seniors and its aim is to teach about the geographical situation of the seaports, historical experiences as well as the direction of the present changes, both political and socioeconomic, connected with the ecology.
Seniors have not had a chance to personally visit the other Baltic seaports and learn about their history, but they remember the times when Baltic was not so polluted as it is today.
At present, the Baltic Sea is among the most polluted seas on Earth. The consequences of our everyday, usual activity are extremely hazardous for the environment. The participants are to get to know the initiatives of the countries within the environmental protection zone as well as the programs of regional and transborder cooperation in the area of the Baltic Sea.
The goal of the program is going to be the promotion of the European dimension of the initiatives, arousing interest in the problem of the ecology of the Baltic Sea, raising the social awareness and sensitizing the society to the ecological problems.
Activities taken in the project are also to promote and popularize knowledge about the cultural, social and historical issues of life in the Baltic seaports.

In all the countries participating in the project, there are going to be work groups collecting materials and discussing them. The groups are going to adopt different concepts of work as well as methods, with regard to the history of their own country.
The group members are going to meet in the chosen ports according to the dates in a schedule and debate about the acquired knowledge. Computer is going to serve as the communication tool between all the participants, which, for seniors, may be an additional possibility of extending their skills.
Work groups are to work out many materials. Creation of a web-page and a publication being the tool for popularizing the results of the project are anticipated. At the end of the project, the recapitulating meeting with the participation of ecological organizations is going to take place.

The characteristics of the organisation (main areas of educational activities, who are adult learners, etc.)		The Wyszków Community Centre’s offer is directed for different persons and groups from the youngest to the oldest. We try to be friendly to our residents, to fulfill their cultural expectations. We want our offer to be as various as possible on high artistic level. We are aware that for many people we are the place where they can systematically develop their skills. Others seek for artistic, musical, drama, aesthetic experiences or just good entertainment. For another our centre is a place where they can meet interesting people and spend their free time. We want to be seen as an institution open not only for people but also for their needs. We organize cultural events not only easy and popular but also for enthusiast. The Community Centre should promote less popular type of music and art. There is also educational activity for children and youth. We organize film meetings, drama shows and different theme lectures. In the Community Centre function many groups of adult people who share interest – stained-glass window, artistic workshop, dance group and university of the third age including tourist club, computer, English lessons. There are many active people in Wyszków, who collect information, materials about life in Wyszków and its history. We want to enable them exchange of their experience. We would like make it possible for them to meet the adults in other countries where they develop their passions in community centers. The meetings will inspire them to further development, will enrich their abilities and ways of activity. They will boost the interest about present forms of activity and will contribute to establishment the new. This development will depend on adult people’s voluntary work in community centre who will spend time organizing new forms of activity.
