We devoted the fifth and last day of our mobility to group activities, during which we developed lesson plans on teaching tolerance to young people. Then, during a brainstorming session, we exchanged ideas for Polish-Ukrainian friendship and discussed national traditions. After working on infographics and a film about fighting intolerance, we conducted a final evaluation of the activities and summarized the time spent together.
On the fourth day of our mobility, we tested our skills during a bicycle trip around Lake Czorsztyn and then visiting the ruins of the castle in Czorsztyn.
In the evening, there was a discussion on tolerance in the peer environment, conducted using the snowball method. After dinner prepared by the Polish group, we summed up our very active day.
On the third day of class mobility, we divided into groups to work on different aspects of the project. One group created infographics about tolerance, and the other developed boards with the symbolism of gestures. In the evening we had a Ukrainian evening, during which we presented the effects of our work. The group from Ukraine prepared traditional dishes that everyone could try and evaluate Ukrainian delicacies.
On the second day of our mobility, we went on a full-day guided walking tour. While walking around Bachledzki Wierch, we admired the picturesque views of the Tatra Mountains along the yellow trail of Jan Kasprowicz, who most often followed this route to Zakopane. During the walk, we also visited the historic Jewish cemetery, which was opened in 1931 and served its functions until World War II.
After returning to the guesthouse, we continued the discussion about what unites and divides us and whether we can count on each other in difficult situations. We spent the evening having dinner and resting, summing up our active day.
We are starting our adventure as part of the “I understand, I accept it” project no. 2021-2-PL01-KA152-YOU-000040964! Today, the young people participating in the project had the opportunity to get to know each other better. On the first day of mobility, participants had the opportunity to present themselves and their observations about the virtual and real world. We discussed the importance of self-presentation and non-verbal communication. In groups, we searched for answers to the question whether we are a tolerant nation and created slogans promoting tolerance, which would then be placed on T-shirts and linen bags for each participant. We ended the evening with an integration bonfire, during which we talked about our mutual feelings about our neighbors and ourselves.
