The document summarizes a student exchange program in Poland from November 17-22, 2014. As part of the Erasmus+ project "Young citizens of Europe-our Future", students from several European countries visited schools and locations in Gdynia, Poland.

Young citizens of Europe-our Future. The path of
knowing, growing and understanding

2. We just arrived from Poland and it was an awesome experience
within the Erasmus+ project Young citizens of Europe-our Future.
The path of knowing, growing and understanding - 2014-2016.
The future of Europe depends largely on the level of education of
children and young people, who will enter the labor market in the
near future. Therefore, the aim of our project is to improve the quality
of education. We hope that by raising the level of basic competencies
and skills students will learn effectively.
The common language for the project agreed upon by all schools is
English.
The program was interesting and we learned a lot of things in a very
welcoming atmosphere.

3. • School
The first day we went to Stawna School, where we participated
to different lessons: Polish class, Biology class, Chemistry class,
English class.
All of them were interesting, but we most liked Chemistry,
where we learned a lot of things, like how to obtain a substance that
looks like silver, how to change the colour of the flame, and Polish,
where we learned some Polish words.
The others were very interesting and impressive, too: style of
teaching, students attention in class, which makes Stawna School a
very good one.

5. • Visited locations
After we settled in with the school and new friends , we visited
InfoBox and we liked its interactivity, after that Centrum Nauki
Experyment, where we were amazed by the many games that develop
curiosity and scientific imagination of children through fun.
Then we went to Gdynia Maritime Academy (Academia
Morska). Here we learned many important things about ships, sailors’
life and their history.
In the last days we visited the city of Gdansk. On the way to the
city, we stopped at the European Centre of Solidarity. Here we were
impressed by the construction of the centre. It had an interesting
design , and inside we watched several videos about the history of
Poland . The Museum of Gdynia was also very interesting for us.

The Frymark, Tarasiuk and Fiutowska families were very
welcoming, provided us all conditions and during the free
time, we decided to go to Akwarium Gdynia, Bowling,
Jump-City, Center Riviera .
We have visited the beach and Baltic Sea Harbour. We
thank them to have taken care of us and we already miss
them.
We keep in touch and we are glad that we met them.

11. It was a wonderful learning by action experience for us
as pupils, discovering a new culture. We learned a lot
of interesting things and made friends from seven
countries (including me and my friends): Poland,
Finland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey and Italy. We are
glad that more of our friends in secondary school will
experience such amazing things and we can’t wait to
see our new friends to come to our school in 2016.
