Students and teachers from Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania, Macedonia and Portugal met at the "VI Liceum Ogolnoksztalcace im. Joachima Lelewela w" in Lodzi - Poland.

The activities of the Erasmus + KA 229 project "Creative vibrations in planning a career path with the use of innovative teaching methods: gamification, Design Thinking and Project Based Learning" carried out the next day, contributed to the improvement of language skills, to the increase of cultural awareness. the development of teamwork skills, the practical use of ICT tools in communication and information retrieval, the acquisition of skills to manage one's own time and the development of motivation. Pietrkowska Street, one of Lodz's main tourist attractions, has been used for work. The students, grouped in five multinational teams, had to identify 17 landmarks: sights, monuments or symbols of the city. In each identified place, they performed the tasks together, as educational as they were challenging. They filled in the worksheets with a variety of information - from Nobel laureates in the country represented in the project, to calculating foreign exchange, retirement ages in each country or Esperanto, reciting verses in Polish, but above all , communicated and cooperated to complete common tasks. The day continued at the Planetarium, where the students watched the movie "Dream of Flying" and dreamed of flying higher and higher themselves or becoming superheroes of their own lives, such as those at the museum dedicated to these heroes of EC1.

It was another beautiful day, a plea for multiculturalism and learning together, for each of the students to discover their potential and build their most appropriate career, creatively.

On Wednesday, the third day of mobility in Poland, the Erasmus + KA 229 project "Creative vibrations in planning a career path with the use of innovative teaching methods: gamification, Design Thinking and Project Based Learning" was dedicated to the knowledge of Polish history and culture. of its capital, Warsaw, through direct contact with the most representative cultural objectives.

The students enjoyed an excellent guided audio tour through the history of Poland in the Royal Castle, built during the 17th century and a restaurant by Stanislaw August Poniatowski, the last king of Poland. The castle was completely destroyed during World War II, after which it was rebuilt until 1980. Students and teachers alike were impressed, not only by the history, architecture, furniture and precious decorations of the castle, but also the stories about the daily schedule and the activities of the king, some routine, others of great responsibility, many of them surprising to us.

The day continued with a visit to the National Museum in Warsaw, one of the largest museums in Poland, which includes a vast collection of ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman art and a huge gallery of foreign, medieval, renaissance and contemporary painting, with over 780,000 of works of art.

In the National Museum, the tour was no longer audio, but was conducted under the guidance of a guide, in English. It was a good opportunity for interactive learning, through guided discovery, individually or in groups, in accordance with the objectives of the project. It was about developing students' skills to seek and receive relevant information, to communicate, to be aware of cultural diversity and the importance of respect for differences and European values.

In the history lesson at the National Museum, the guide constantly interacted with the students and teachers in the group. We were proud of our students, who proved to be the most knowledgeable of those present. Moreover, they were appreciated by colleagues from other countries, for respecting the rules during the program, for the beautiful expression in English.
