POLISH STUDENTS’ MEMORIES FROM THE VISIT IN SWEDEN
‘The meeting in Sweden was an unforgettable experience for me. The teachers from Fridagymnasiet had prepared a lot of interesting excursions, for example to the Museum of Technology, the Vasa Museum and Innovatum. I met new friends from Sweden, Norway, Austria and Greece. I ate famous Kanelbulle, I am going to try to make it at my home. At school teachers divided us into 4 international groups. In my group were Cornelia (Austria), Kamilla (Norway), Leo (Greece) and Hanna-Klara (Sweden). Our presentation was about Security on Internet banking and payments. We spent a few hours preparing presentations and our final product was fantastic and we got a huge applause. Now my language skills are much better and now I feel more confident talking in English with other people, that’s why it was worth going to Sweden.’ – ALEK
‘Frankly speaking, before the visit I was a bit scared, I found all the tasks very difficult, I wasn't sure if I would have enough language skills. What's more, I was afraid of working in groups with people, who I had never met before. Now I know, that I wasn't right. During the week which I spent in Sweden I got to know more about Swedish traditions, culture, habits. I had a chance to use my English in practice, talking with the people from the project. We did many activities, the most important were the presentations which we had prepared in four international groups. The meeting in Sweden helped me to break the language barrier. I encountered many different and new situations for me in which I had to manage on my own. Thanks to that now I am more self-confident. I met many exceptional and clever people. I'm sure that our relationship will last till the end of my life. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to take part in the project. It was an unforgettable experience, which I will remember for the rest of my life :) !- - SARA
‘I was living with a very friendly family. Adam's parents were very hospitable to me, they told me a lot about Swedish culture and the area near Vänersborg. To school I was travelling with Adam, with whom I found common interests. At school I felt like at home thanks to the prevailing atmosphere there. I quickly integrated with the rest of the students participating in the Erasmus + program. In my memory there will remain sightseeing Stockholm, where I saw the Royal Castle built on an island. The biggest advantage of this trip is that I improved my English skills. I have gained many new friends and wonderful memories.’ – ADRIAN
‘Before the visit I thought that it wouldn’t be very interesting and I couldn’t manage with it, but I wasn’t right. Thanks to this meeting I met a lot of exceptional people, saw the capital of Sweden- Stockholm and many important places in this country. What is vital for me, I had a chance to improve my language skills, speaking with people for other countries (Norway, Greece, Austria and of course Sweden). My host Wilma encouraged me to gather knowledge about Swedish traditions, culture and cuisine. I met her grandparents and they told me something else about their habits, lifestyle and now I know how Swedish people live during each day. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life.’ - KAROLINA
