On Monday, as usually, we had group meeting in the organization. We talked about our upcoming meetings and planed next month. After this meeting we went to the Library of Fairy Tales, where we had opportunity got to know Kamishibai, this is a form of Japanese street theater and storytelling. The girls from this amazing library presented us one story, which was really interesting.
Tuesday was important day. We had special guests from “ Foundation Prof. Bronislaw Geremek Centre ”, they presented workshop about “European Education”. Presenters made presentation of researches which showed us knowledge of Polish people about Europe and European union. They also shared with us educational tools which used during workshops with young people in schools and other educational institution throughout Poland. This workshop helped me to figure out what polish people think about European union and how important is do this kind workshops for young people.
After the workshop I had English lesson for seniors. After improved of listening skills we started speaking. I gave to my students new topic and they were supposed to talk about this topic. I can say that they were really good in this case and they try their best. I am so proud of them!
