A memorable week in Italy, from Hungary

In March, 2011 I had the chance to visit our Comenius partners in Italy. It was the first time I had been to Italy. I had never flown by airplane before so I was really scared of the airflight. But the journey was smooth in clear weather. We landed in Naples then we took the train to get to Vietri di Potenza.
When we arrived in Vietri some friends were waiting for us and took us to the school. Here we were received by our Italian friends with a fascinating programme. Students of the school showed some music and dance performances and we were received by the headmaster and the mayor as well. During these few days we had the opportunity to visit Basilicata region to see Matera, the remains of a Greek temple, a monastry, the nearby villages, Metaponto. For me Matera was the most brilliant sight to see during that week. And of course the schools of Vietri and Savoia welcomed us. The students and the teachers of both schools did their best to make our staying useful, memorable and interesting. Even the smallest children performed a cute tale and sang beautiful songs for us. We could taste the traditional meals of Italy, and its pasta! I love it! The last day we were at the mayor’s residence and spent a nice evening together in a restaurant.
During that week we could feel the harmony of these four cultures. We talked a lot, exhanged our opinions and went through a lot of memorable experiences together. I hope we can continue this relationship in the future as well.

Our trip to Poland from hungarian students

We had the opportunity to travel to Poland in part of the Comenius programme with our teachers. We couldn’t wait the day we set off. We were delighted to see another culture and meet our friends face to face.
We have never travelled by airplane before. The journey took an hour to Krakow from Vienna. After arriving in Krakow we travelled to Mszana Dolna. We were friendly received by our Polish friends. We spent five days with our hosting families, they were very kind to us, helped us and made our staying wonderful. In the school there was a reception for us with different, interesting performances with the students of the school. We visited Krakow to see the old buildings and its churches; we visited the birthplace of John Paul II, the former pope. We took part in a mass in a mountain under the sky. The last day we were in the library of the town and we were received by the mayor of the town. We made a lot of friends and our hosting families organized us different other programmes. They were great and the families were fantastic! We could taste the traditional Polish dishes, too.
It was a great pleasure to get to know another culture, to make friends. We are looking forward the next year when they will come to Hungary and we will be able to show them our culture, our town and a bit of Hungary.

Logo Comenius

Hungarian students designed logos for various models of our project.
At the first meeting between all partners decided what would be our logo. The Logo was designed by the help of a catalan father's student. Here you have it.

Virágom

The hungarian students invited us to sing this song with them

TAVASZI SZÉL

Tavaszi szél vízet áraszt,
Virágom, virágom.
Minden madár társat választ,
Virágom, virágom.
Hát én immár kit válasszak?
Virágom, virágom.
Te engemet, én tégedet,
Virágom, virágom.

Welcome in Hungary

The first meeting in Szombathely, Hungary, was so nice. We met all of the partners: hungarian, italian, polish and catalan.
The hungarian partners were the organizers. They were very kind and hospitable. They welcomed us with some traditional folk dance and music.



We dance all together:
