THE CULTYRAL HERITAGE IN ŚWIERKLANY

We have been working on the cultural heritage at Karol Miarka Gymnasium in Świerklany since the beginning of its existence. Since 1999 students have been learning about historical, patriotic, religious or artistic values connected with our region during Regional Education Classes. Moreover, at those classes they have been knowing history of monuments, interesting places or people connected with Świerklany. Students were taking photos of the most interesting places in our village.

Wayside Shrine

And

Figurine of Saint John Nepomucen

At Świerklany grow trees which are the monuments of nature. One of them is beech (Fagus sylvatica).

It is called The Sobieski’s Beech by the inhabitants of Świerklany. The legend says that the king John III Sobieski found shelter at the shadow of that beech when he was coming back from Vienna.

What is more, students from our school at 2005 solemnly signed the Act of the Adoption of Monuments within the confines of the Program „Traces of the Past. Students Adopt Monuments.”

Our students adopted parish cemetery. The adoption was an element of the Project “School of a Dream”. They were taking care of cemetery and its surroundings.

At the school year 2006/2007 our Gymnasium joined in the project InterEOL – Intercultural Education OnLine. The main goal of the project was to prepare teachers and students to the dialog and co-operation to create Europe of different cultures. The program was also connected with the cultural heritage of our region and country.

To find out which of the cultural heritage is the most important for inhabitants of Świerklany there was the poll in our Gymnasium.

According to the poll students know what is the cultural heritage. 87% students know and admire local monuments. They think the most highly of Sobieski’s Beech, than Ludwik Holesz’s Gallery and parish cemetery in Świerklany because

most of inhabitants are Christians. At their life the most important values are God, faith and love.

Students at the poll unambiguously stated that aside from home – school is the place where they learn about the cultural heritage during regional education, history or polish classes. Probably that is the reason why graves and monuments of murdered during the second World War are very important values of the cultural heritage.

Inhabitants of Świerklany bewitch beauty of the local nature that is why considerable group of students appreciate the Sobieski’s Beech.
