Visegrad Fund Mini Grant projekt 2026.03.01. – 2026.09.30.
A Visegrádi Alap Mini Grant programjának pénzügyi támogatásával iskolánk partnerségre lépett egy gdański lengyel általános iskolával; ez az iskola és számos tanára már több Erasmus-projektben, valamint egy korábbi Visegrádi Alap-együttműködés keretében is partnerünk volt, és március és szeptember között a „Kultúrák közötti hidak építése” témában dolgozunk együtt.
A mostani programban a 2025/26-es tanév 7. és 8. osztályos tanulói vettek részt. Magyar részről összesen 15-en dolgoztak a projektben, fogadtak cserediákot, illetve utaztak. Lengyel részről is 15 diák utazottés vett részt a projektben. Iskolánkból Hampuch Péter és Miklán Mónika koordinálták a projektet.
A projekt két nemzetközi találkozót foglalt magában: az egyiket március 15. és 20. között Pécsen, az iskolánkban rendeztük meg, a másikat pedig június 7. és 12. között Gdańskban, Lengyelországban a partner intézményben. A projekt egy hosszabb előkészítő tervezési időszakot és a pályázat megírását is magában foglalta. Miután megkaptuk a pozitív választ az együttműködésünk finanszírozásáról, megkezdődött a találkozók szervezésének és a prezentációk, tevékenységek előkészítésének szakasza, és ahogy közeledtek a két esemény időpontjai, megszerveztük az utazásokat, a részletes programokat, a tevékenységeket és a prezentációkat. A projekt időszaka szeptemberben zárul egy zárójelentéssel.
A következő Padlet-linken megtekinthető a találkozók részletes menetrendje fotókkal illusztrálva, amelyekből kiderül, milyen összetett és élvezetes egy ilyen projekt:
Az alábbiakban elolvashatják Olivia Beck beszámolóját angolul a pécsi találkozóról és egy rövid összefoglalót a gdanski találkozóról szintén angolul (a projekt munkanyelve az angol volt).
Our Week in Pécs
I had the opportunity to take part in an exchange programme and host a Polish student in March. The Hungarian children were very excited about their arrival. Most of us started texting our exchange students days before they got here.
We started the programme with getting to know each other through some icebreaking activities and games. After that, the Polish teachers put us in randomly mixed groups. We walked around Pécs and completed tasks while getting to know the city and our historical and cultural heritage more. We also did some projects together, like making short videos to promote Pécs and posters about our traditions, symbols and Pécs. We also made presentations about our work.
Many friendships were made during this process. We also visited Mecseknádasd during the week, where we saw a pottery workshop and an exhibition. Some Polish children got the opportunity to bake with local ladies before we had lunch.
On the last day we visited the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter. This way, we could experience both the old and the modern side of the city.
We took part in a farewell party, made a quiz about the days and content of the project, and we also danced some Hungarian, German and Polish folk dances in the afternoon.
We also hung out with each other after the school programme was over. We went bowling and most of us visited the iconic TV tower. The most fun part was when we played football together one afternoon.
Overall, this exchange programme is a great way to learn about history, culture in a simple and enjoyable way. I think all of us created special memories and made new friends. We are looking forward to going to and seeing our partners in Gdansk in June.
Our Week in Gdańsk
Our project week in Gdańsk was full of exciting activities, new friendships, and unforgettable experiences. We started by meeting at the school and getting to know each other. We worked in international groups to create presentations about the sights of Gdańsk and discover their connections to Hungary and other countries.
One of the most creative activities was painting ceramics with traditional Hungarian and Kashubian folk patterns. We also had lots of fun playing Laser Wars and taking funny group photos in front of famous landmarks around the city.
During our stay, we went on a day trip to Gdynia, where we visited the Naval Museum and explored the historic submarine Sokol. We also enjoyed spending time on the sandy beach and relaxing together. Another highlight was eating at a Food Hall and taking part in a cooking workshop, where we learned how to make traditional Polish pierogi and then enjoyed eating them.
Working together was an important part of the project. We built bridges in teams, shared ideas, and learned how to cooperate with students from different countries. We also wrote songs about our experiences, which helped us reflect on everything we had learned and enjoyed.
The afternoons and evenings were just as special. We spent time with our Polish hosts and their families, taking part in many enjoyable activities and learning more about everyday life and culture in Poland. These moments helped us make new friends and create lasting memories.
On our final day, we celebrated our achievements, received our certificates, and even sang “Happy Birthday” to Olivia. Saying goodbye was emotional because we had become such a close group. We returned home with wonderful memories, new friendships, and a better understanding of each other's cultures.
