Let`s visit Cracow - a beautiful town in the south of Poland

Hi! I am Zosia from Poland and I would like to take you on a short trip to Cracow. So …

This is a beautiful town in Poland - one of the oldest ones. Sights, attractions and events mean that everyone will find something interesting. Until 1596 the town was the Polish capital and the seat of the royal family. In Cracow there is the oldest university in Poland - the Jagiellonian University. On the Wawel hill stand two famous monuments - the Wawel Castle and the Wawel Cathedral. You can’t forget the legendary dragon living in a dark cave. The hill offers a beautiful view of the Wisła river. In Cracow you can also see the St. Mary's Church.

I was there a few times. I like this place very much. After a tiring trip you can eat and take a rest in the meadow around the hill.

I hope that some day you will have the opportunity to visit our beautiful city.

Bye

Zosia

This Blog

The project Blog contains everything related to the Comenius project “Let’s Travel!”: summary, objectives, activities, mobilities, project meetings, results, evaluation… It is a visual and dynamic online platform which illustrates and disseminates the project development through regular updating: writings, introductions, descriptions of places, pictures and videos on Tourism as a topic. All outcomes on the Blog are the results of students’ and teachers’ common team work at the seven partner schools.

The Garden in Portugal

Although uncompleted, coordinators from the seven partner schools decided to maintain the Garden in Portugal as one of the most emotive outcomes of our project. Seeds of plants from the local flora in each country were sent to the school in Portugal. Students of Tourism and Gardening from Ferreira do Zêzêre collected and let them germinate. They created a greenhouse, which was unfortunately seriously damaged by a destructive tornado at the beginning of 2011. A big part of the garden got lost.

Evaluation Questionnaires and Power Point Presentation

Three model questionnaires for mobilities were made, separately for guests (teachers and students) and hosts (students). Teachers and students who took part in mobility filled these questionnaires after each meeting and conclusions were compiled by Polish teachers to make our work better and more efficient. The most important conclusions from questionnaires were summed in the Power Point presentation which was presented during the last mobility in Spain, were all coordinators from partner schools were present.

7 Different Kinds of Tourism in 7 Different Countries

The seven partner schools of the Project “Let’s Travel!” did of Tourism a topic to investigate and analyse. They found out the characteristics, the means of transport, the baggage, the accommodation, the duration and the money required for seven different kinds of tourism and tourists in the seven partnership countries. They produced a considerable quantity of documents with information and pictures on activities related to cultural, historical, religious, natural, health, sport and educational tourism.
