These are
just some of the words that we, Zemgale’s secondary school
headmaster Z. Grinpauks, english
teacher and Comenius project coordinator Z.Breča, 7a class pupils Ieva Petersone,
Evia Beidzale, 7b class pupil Megija
Petersone, had the opportunity to learn by visiting the Turkish city Bursa and
SP Ismail Ozbek secondary school.
The period
from 15.11.-20.11. we spent in a hospitable Turkish city Bursa and its suburb
Kestel together with other partners from this project: Spain, Greece, Italy,
Romania and of course, the Turkish representatives. These 6 days we were able not
only to make friends, to play games and to meet new friends and colleagues, but
also to discover the rich turkish culture, cuisine, beautiful and diverse
nature - art museum, car museum, Green Mosque, Ulu Mosque - the largest at Bursa
etc.
Our
country's 94th birthday we spent in Istanbul, where we visited the Sofia mosque
/ cathedral, which is now a museum, the world’s famous Topkapi Palace with its treasures,
Turkuzo big aquarium. We went on the Bosphorus tour on the Sea
of Marmara,
and saw the bridge that connects Asia with Europe.
In my
opinion, for 7a and 7b class girls this was and will be one of the most
memorable trips. It was the longest journey for all the girls, they flew by
plane for the first time, they met many
new friends, felt the Turkish hospitality, living in their families, and felt
the difference between us, Balts, and hot-Turks, Spanish, Greeks and Italians.
As Ieva Pētersone wrote: "Now, I agree with the saying - there is the sun
behind the clouds, because the whole flight we were accompanied by the sun and
cloud pillows! I am really happy that I took part in this project!"
In
my view,
the objective of the project - to introduce us to a number of national
cultures, to promote friendship between the 6 countries, to improve our
english language skills, to learn to play games that are played
throughout the world, to
encourage students to spend more time outdoors by playing games, have
been
realized. This project will also be realized in future visits and during
this and next school year in each of the participating schools.
Thanks to Bursa, project coordinator Habip and other his
team for a warm hospitality! You are
welcome to our country, Latvia, and Zemgales Secondary School in october, 2013.
