COMENIUS easter FAIR

Action "Small Entrepreneurship" was another task carried out by the participants of the international Comenius project "Today’s child, tomorrow’s entrepreneur" in Publiczne Gimnazjum im. Jana Pawła II w Wołczynie. The purpose of this task was to arouse in students the spirit of entrepreneurship and self-reliance, and to encourage them to take the initiative and active involvement in the life of the school community.

The action required strong commitment and effort from all participants. The students designed a commercial stand, created leaflets and information posters. From the EU funds we purchased all the necessary materials and packaging for baking goods. Finally, the day before the action students baked different cakes and other sweets and

prepared it all for sale. Early in the morning of March 25, 2013 students divided into two groups. One group with teachers sold the baked goods at the local market while the other team members encouraged their peers and school staff to purchase the sweets at the school fair.

The initiative of students met with great interest of the inhabitants. Clients for the delicious pastries and supporters of the students’ initiative were many so enterprising students did not freeze too much in that cold morning. The action was successful, all the "sweets" were sold, and the funds raised were used to finance a trip of this group of students to Cracow and Wieliczka, which will be held May this year. Similar activities were organized by students from schools from Romania, Spain and Slovakia participating in the project. Soon we will be hosting them all in Wołczyn and our school.
