Mlodziezowy Osrodek Wychowawczy
Poland
Youth Education Centre (Mlodziezowy Osrodek Wychowawczy) in Radzionkow (Upper Silesia, Poland) is for the girls aged 13-18. Most of them were growing up in the dysfunctional families, some of them were the victims of sexual harassment and domestic abuse, many of them have committed minor crimes like truancy or petty thefts. Sometimes their parents have migrated to work abroad. Our aim is to let them return to the society, finish the school and learn them how to act in the adult life.
Between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. our students are learning in our schools (primary, secondary with English language lessons and vocational school), then they spend the afternoons in the boarding-house where they attend the Special Interest Classes like the Arts Classes. It is some kind of phenomenon when the ones often considered as the "bad girls" turn out to be the fragile artists, who love to dance, sing ,act and paint.

Comenius trip to Poland
Before going to Poland, I had no vision about Comenius project and what we are going to do there. Preparation time was short and time between saying “yes” and the trip just like disappeared somewhere.
After driving two days in the bus, we arrived Radzionkow. We didn't see anybody in the first night so we were very surprised when we stepped into the dining hall in the morning and saw huge crowd. There were people from Turkey, Spain and Italy. After breakfast we gathered to hall where every counry showed their presentations about their cultures and countries. Later we walked to school. It was boarding school where lived girls from problematic familys all over Poland. The hostel was seperated to sections. Each of them had their own buget and lived togather like a family. Guests were divided into groups and each group went to different section. For our group Polish studients had made delicous food. We ate, talked to eachother and learned words in different languages. Polish girls taught us to play game called “tšutšubabka” where one person's eyes were closed and she/he had to find others. Although they didn't understand English much, we had very good time there. In the evening there was a disco/karaoke singing for studients, but almost everybody prefered to stay outside and communicate and familiarise to eachother.
The second day started with dancing workshop. First we were taught how to dance Polish national dance named polonese and then we learned other dances. In my opinion, our dance Kaera-Jaan was the most popular. Everybody joined in and the hall, what was quite big, seemed very small while spinning around. In the afternoon we drove to coal mine museum. We were given colorful helmets and drove 320 m below ground with very scary and small elevator. We were told about the history of mining, saw different machines and even drove with underground train.
On the third day we had to wake up earlier than usual – we drove to Crakow. We walked in old town, went to Oskar Schindlers factory where was museum about Cracow ocupation, visited underground arheology museum and grandiose St. Mary church.
On the forth day we went to local bread museum. We watched movie about bread history, saw old baking facilities and everybody cooked little bun for themselves. Then we went to school to teach Polish girls how to make our national food karask (homemade barley bread). People who were appointed as chefs got carried away and later the whole table was covered with flour. Until karask was in the oven we played tšutšubabka again and taught them to play one coordination game. Although bread didn't turned out exactly as we planned, everybody seemed to like that.
It was the last day, so we had a formal summarizing event. We started it on a Polish way and danced polonese. Later Polish girls with long dresses performed that for us too. It was very interesting and beautiful. Each country showed again their national dance and other performances. During breakes we tasted other countries national foods which had interesting and different appearence and flavor. Finally, we sang John Lennons song Imagine.
Turkish and Spanish teams had to leave very early in the morning. So we decided to be awake whole night to send them away on the time. Like on the previous evenings we talked to eachother, learned to play Turkish musical instruments and spent good time together. Everybody were so friendly, communicative and positive and we became very good friends during this trip. I felt like instead of knowing them for four days I've known them my whole life.
This trip to Poland was really great and gave me new experience and ideas. But the best thing about it is that now I have good friends from all over Europe.
