A trip with friends immersion model, the meeting of school representatives from the primary school Edderitz with colleagues in the school Strawczyn. Of 17 19/01/2011 Nelaimischkies wife stayed up, the head teacher and Ms. Buechner - that the majority of the workforce of the small school - with Dr. Barlow in Strawczyn. The main objective was getting to know the Polish school, their planned Comenius partner school in Spain and one from Italy and the related environmental project and the attempt to enter as a partner number four in this project.
Since it does not happen very often that elementary school teachers take business trips to foreign countries, both had little stage fright. Fortunately, two colleagues from Spain had come to bring the same to the application documents required for Brussels to terms. Quickly, the three "nations" in detail and negotiated in a cultured English.
Our gift, a Köthener herb with Mr. Bach on the label was offered as an inspiration but largely spurned. It was obviously not the right time and the false drops. Despite this it was well underway. All interested are very prepared for the contributions of Edderitzerinnen.
Dr. Barlow discussed the details for future work on the regional project and found an opportunity, the memorial of a famous visit in neighboring Poland. It is the author of the historical novel "Quo vadis?" Henryk Sienkiewicz, who won the Nobel Prize and was adapted his former villa with EU assistance very loving.
the afternoon there was still time to make a brief visit to the site. This was run by older students in the English language. A very short trip to Kielce was just enough for all of the many celebrities who are to be found in the character of the bronze heads of major international artists.
In the evening the hotel was more talking about Europe, and Comenius school project work. Although the nice farewell from our hosts came much too early, now all are back a little bit richer than before. K. Barlow
