We are already busy preparing for our last meeting, but we still can`t forget the last one.

Game based on our legends.

One of the products of our project is a board game. The rules are very simple - the winner is the one who first reaches the end of the board. Along the way,  a lot of surprises are waiting - including a prison in Barcelos (Portugal), searching for treasure in Artes (Catalonia),trying a lovely bread in Pohorje ( Slovenia), the encounter with a bear in Przemysl (Poland), getting lost at night in Cesis ( Latvia) or saving Haarlem from flooding (the Netherlands). The game is based on the legends of our partners in the project.

Most of the pictures are created by pupils of Szkoła Podstawowa nr 11 in Przemyśl, Poland

Presentation of project work in Oranje-Nassauschool

During our meeting in Oranje-Nassauschool in Nijkerk we had a chance to see how Dutch pupils and teachers introduce project ideas and tasks to the curriculum. We could watch the performances e.g "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Hans Christian Andersen, dances, Dutch songs. We could admire works of young writers presenting their books- written and illustrated by them.All around school there were posters about partners` countries, art works presenting fairy tales and legends. We could observe lessons based on famous tales e.g "The Frog Prince" by Grimms brothers.
