Our project: ”Legends across Europe”has finally come to an end so our Erasmus+ partners’ meeting of 3

countries such as Czech, Slovakia and Rumania, the last meeting with our friends took place in Puck on 4

June. The guests arrived on Sunday 3 rd June and I welcomed them warmly at the station in Puck, the

Czechs. They came to Puck from the town Hawierzów which we visited in April this year, the Slovakian

got by mini bus from Martin and Romanians from the region of Bukovina, a town Falticeni also by mini

bus. The enthusiasm was the main factor and accompanied us for the whole time; the friendships occurred

the most essential. We hosted all partners who worked hard or were involved in working on the project.

Frankly speaking, we were lucky with the weather in 100%, beautifully, sunny since the first day and we

immediately headed to the Puck Bay and admired sea background and then by accident we met our mayor.

On 4 June together with my deputy of I High School called Stefan Żeromski Mrs.Marzeną Brazewicz and

Mrs.Mirellą Lipowską, Małgorzatą Gruźlewską Szubelko and my class II d and Erasmus+ group in the

participation of invited guests such as Starost Mrs. Jarosław Białk, Mayor Mrs. Hanna Pruchniewska and

Chief of Education Departament in our Puck county Mrs. Iwony Domachowskiej.

In a company of State Music School in Puck we welcomed the guests. Students played the trumpets, all was conducted by Mr. Marek Zielke. The artistic part of our meeting was prepared by the State Music School by Mrs. Anna Dubieniecka, Mariola Lebida and Dorota Puzynkiewicz. We would like to say thank you Mrs. Dorota Sokołek for supporting us.

Mrs. Katarzyna Bartoszewicz-Stromska made the guests more active with her dancing programme, it was funny. After the show, all were invited for a treat with Erasmus+ cake, integrating the youth and chatting on the topic of the project with the teachers and local authorities. Then we focused in the group of partners and students on our project work prepared by the coordinator Izabela Pałucka with a short film about Norda, presentation about the language, Poland and customs, and also a short quiz about our country. Next we visited our school and they had a lot of impressions, taking part in chemical experiments prepared by Mrs.Lucynę Łuczak and an interesting lesson created by Mrs. Mirellę Lipowską. All of them got the souvenirs connected with the project from our county Powiat and Town Authorities such as: diplomas, brochures and mini tourist guide made by Aleksandra Czajkowska. In the afternoon we sailed on the ship called: Star One on the Puck Bay and the youth painted on the glass and visited the Glass Manufacture in Puck. On 5 June we went on a trip to teutonic knights castle in Malbork, an enormous middle-aged building which is on the UNESCO list. We took part in a 3 hour lesson or lecture on the topic with an English tourist guide and we admired the exhibition of amber, weapon and some misteries of this castle. Then we visited Gdańsk for a short walk along Długa Street, nearby the Motława River, admiring the oldest buildings in Gdańsk, Artus court and Neptune’s Fountain. On Wednesday 6 June we went on a trip to Łeba and Slovinski National Park, an awsome place which is a part of the park. We managed to get to the strategical place of Rocket launch where we got to know an amazing story, firstly the secret one and the pearl of the Germans and Russians. Finally we took the distance of 2,5 km to get to the dunes and then we could see the smallest Sahara. This unusual Nature Park was the place of relaxing and integration of students and teachers. Having fun on the dunes and the beach. Late in the afternoon we got the agriculture hut and had a great feast at Mr.Potrykus in Darżlubie. The owner welcomed us with his band and his treat. On beautifully decorated tables was stard with a cucumber and later we got to know a recipe of a traditional egg cake: „ Sękacz” and we sang kashubian notes and devil violin. After a barbecue we went to the forest on horse carriages and grilled sausages on the bonefire. We also tried delicious waffles baked on an old oven. The next day on 7 June we went to Wejherowo and the Kashubian Museum where we learned kashubian notes in Romanian, Slovakian and Czech, we really enjoyed. We could know the culture and music of Kashubian area. Then we went to the unique place called Piaśnica where 38 graves of 12.000 murdered people; kids,


women and civilians were the victims of German politics. From the forest in Piaśnica we got to the XIX century farmer’s house or hut where we learned a lot about his work, equipment and possession of his Kashubian and fishing land. The ladies from club of village housekeepers said hello in kashubian costumes and welcomed us with yeast cake, bread with stark and grain coffee. One of the most exciting moments was at Żarnowiec Lake and then to Stolems Cave, the restaurant in front of which legendary Stolems stand. Next we went to Kashubian eye, a view point in Gniewino. The last day 8 June we spent partly in Puck, sightseeing a little bit, visiting the Museum of Puck Land where Mrs. Kamila Tucholska guided us around the museum and we had a chance to know Kashubian traditions , writers, methods of treating, embroidery workshop, smith place, a hut and tabacco. Last but not least we got to school to evaluate our project tasks and we said good bye to the students and teachers. Then we went on a trip to Hel Peninsula in a great mood to find the beginning of Poland and there we participated in an amazing lesson on flora and fauna of the Baltic Sea in English and of course feeding the seals. Later we went for dinner to one of the most famous restaurants in Hel, called Kutter, with fishing decorations. After that we went to the pit to have a look at connecting waters of the Bay and the Baltic Sea. Near the Kashubian hill I shared with the guests with diplomas showing their trace at the beginning of Poland and with it nice sign we finished our trip. We did not forget about the Sea Lighthouse and on the way back we visited Jurata to see the queen of the sea. It was awesome to host our friends and partners of the project and spend the time with them. In the evening we said good bye to Slovaks and on Saturday in the morning I said good bye to the Czech and Romanians. Frankly speaking, we did not want to part because we had a great time together learning cultures, customs, traditions and languages. Our main purpose was showing the best landmarks of our region what was a task of our project. Showing our different identity and willingness of European integration. What they really loved is the sea. I hope that our friendships will last and we will cooperate on the next project very soon. By the way, Puck is a very old town. It achieved town status in 1348. Nowadays Puck is the centre of

water sports.

Another point of the program was visiting the most important monuments in

Gdansk. We saw gates leading to the medieval town. There were High Gate ,


Golden Gate and Green Gate. They are the examples of the prettiest sights in

Gdansk and the evidence of a former city power.

St . Mary’s Church - is the largest brick church in the

world. It can hold up to 25,000 people. The church is

decorated within with several masterpieces

of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque paintings. The most

notable, The Last Judgement by Flemish painter Hans

Memling, is currently preserved in the National Museum of

Gdańsk.

The next place we visited was Long

Street which is one of the city’s oldest

thoroughfares. From the Golden Gate

which protects it, the gently- curving

street opens into an array of colourful

burgher houses, rococo portals, gothic

mouldings and original porticoes. The

eastern end of the street is dominated

by tall, slim tower of the Town Hall,

which we visited too. The oldest parts

On Hel Peninsula, at the Puck Bay, the Baltic sea and in the sea with nets.


On Friday we went to Hel Peninsula. Our first stop was Hel. Hel is the most marine

of Polish towns. Surrounded from three sides by water. Then we went to the Seal

Centre. Formally, the Seal House is a branch of the Marine Station of Gdańsk

University’s Oceanography Institute. The Station’s task are much beyond what is

seen every day by the tourists, as it conducts very extensive research on the seal

population in the Baltic Sea. It is a scientific institution, a shelter, hospital, store and

a nursery for seals, all in one. It is here that the sick and wounded seals are brought.

After treatment and regaining their power they go back to the sea. Also baby seals

were born here and set free to the Baltic sea.

We saw a feeding time of the seals. There were a lot of people. The show was very

interesting and seals were really cute.


The next town, where we stayed was Jurata. Jurata was from the very beginning

designed as a place destined to bring health, soothe the nerves and give the guests

full relaxation as the first Polish seaside spa. Two beaches, a broad promenade, rich

and diverse accommodation – from private quarters to luxurious hotels, many

possibilities to rest. One of Jurata’s attractions is Międzymorze Street – a unique

boulevard joining the Bay with the sea. We had about 2 hours free-time there. Most

of us went to the beach. The rest of the people went to the pier and ate something at

bars. It was really warm and sunny. On the beach we had a great time. We played

tag, sunbathed and we had fun in the water even it was cold.

Jurata one of the most beautiful places on Hel Peninsula

Then I said good bye to Romanian team

Saying goodbye to Czech team and seeing them off to the station.


Here are some Czech, Slovakian, Romanian and Polish Erasmus+ teams’

impressions about their trip to Puck, in Poland:

Bea:

I really enjoyed the final meeting in Poland;especially The Slowinski National Park and the dunes.

I would like to thank everyone for arranging the program. I also want to mention the unforgettable

memories only because of you,guys. It was just amazing!

Klára N.:

Last week we've visited a wonderful town Puck in Poland. During our stay we've seen many

interesting places like Malbork Castle, dunes in Leba or Fokarium in Hel. I really enjoyed the stay

and in my thoughts I'm still going back to beautiful Puck.

Jakub: Meeting in Poland was really an amazing experience. I have never realized Poland has so much to

offer. Big thanks to whole polish team for the great organization of the last meeting and to the

whole Erasmus + group for being such great friends throughout the project.

Klára S.: I consider exchange in Poland the best. Of course every country we've visited was beautiful. But

Poland was the last, so we already knew every one of our friends from foreign country and we

could enjoy time with them by not having to be shy while getting to know them. We already knew

who to come to when we were visiting castles, because they liked history, who to talk to about sea

pollution when we went to Fokarium, because they are interested in such thing, swimming, sailing

and even which teachers to ask about things from their country. There was a great balance

between places we visited such as historical, natural but also modern sights. I enjoyed it very

much and I would love to visit this beautiful country again.

Bára: In few words, the whole experience was simply the best. I'm so happy I was able to meet new

friends from different countries with various backgrounds and cultures and also that I got to

experience some foreign traditions on my own. I hope that the bond between people from our

Erasmus + project never fades.

Natálie:

I must say that the program in Poland was very beautifully constructed. We have visited many

interesting places every day. The Kashubian area by the sea was really breathtaking place. I have

never expected to see something like that right in Poland. This meeting was truly incredible endig

of our project and I am so thankful for this beautiful experience. Great friends, amazing places and

positive mind. Thank you so much for everything you have prepared for us. Dear Poland, it won't

be possible to not come back! :)

Poland.Ah Puck. I can’t describe the wonderful feeling that penetrates me when I think of this

country. With the help of the Erasmus project and the teachers' ladies who guided us, I have

managed to discover and see and feel with my own being these wonderful places.It's an experience

that everyone wants to have, and I say with a hand on my heart that they will stay the same as me,

impressed to the soul. The sea breeze, the sand dunes, the song of the seagulls, the respectful and

loyal people, the art, the naturalness , all of them describe Poland. I had the chance to know and

interact with people from different parts of the world, we tied up a close and united friendship, we

laughed together, we explored together, made memories that we will remember all our life.We

have had new experiences, such as the glass workshop, I enjoyed greatly and appreciated the work

done in all the exposed creations. I was in the Hell Peninsula, a wonderful place, a quiet place, full

of history full of natural, a city of art and the list goes on... Thank you very much Iza. You are a

mother of soul for us, a great guide, a good friend with a great soul. We are glad we had the

chance to explore and discover together Poland and I hope that in the near future we will see

again. For me you will stay in my heart and I will wear you both you and Poland how long will I

live. Kocham cię i dziękuję

Ancuta Dimitriu The mobility in Puck, Poland was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life! I feel honored to be

part of this project! I have gained a lot of knowledge that I will apply in my life, I met a lot of people with

whom I built great friendships! I was impressed by the diverse culture, the way of living, the supremacy of

castles and cities, rich history, the civilization. Everything was so well prepared that we didn’t miss

anything. Another thing that impressed me is the legends that capture your attention and start the

imagination. I would love to return to Puck, Poland, because it's a great place! Thank you all the teachers

for your work, especially you Iza because you gave us the opportunity to see so many beautiful places!

realise, that traveling and meeting new friends isn't that hard, only lust and engagement are needed.
