LTA-Learning&Training Activities - Poland
Between March 28th and April 1st, a mobility took place in Poland, under the iCulture project, of the Erasmus+ programme. The students participated in the activities (LTA – Learning and Training Activities), organized by the host school, the Katolickie Liceum Ogolnoksztalcace im. Romualda Traugutta w Chojnicach, located in the town of Chojnice. Chojnice is a town in northwestern Poland, in the Pomeranian region, with about 40,000 inhabitants.
The activities of the first day focused on the contact with the school and the local reality, as well as on promoting the interaction of students with each other, ending with a solidarity concert with Ukraine entitled 'Not to be indifferent', whose interpreter, Hanna Tiekuczewa, is a young Ukrainian resident in Poland for about seven years.

In the following days, the activities revolved around the theme 'theater', the main focus of this mobility, and, after the completion of a Kahoot on the history of the theater of the five countries that are part of this project, the students participated in several workshops on the subject, at the Chojnice House of Culture, guided by the director Grzegorz Szlanga and the actor Piotr Rutkowski. These activities alternated with a picnic on the shores of Lake Charzyków, polish music and dance performances from the 16th and 17th centuries and cassubian folklore. The Cassubians are a Slavic ethnic group living in northwestern Poland, descended from an ancient tribe that arrived there more than 1500 years ago. This group has its own language, cassubian, currently spoken by about 50000 people. It is a minority language in Poland, which enjoys legal protection and is taught in schools.
The last day was dedicated to visiting Gdansk, capital of Pomerania, a city located at the mouth of the Vistula River, by the Baltic Sea, rich in Gothic architecture, capital of amber and striking in the history of Poland. In addition to the historic center of the city, participants visited the Solidarity Museum. Located in the former Lenin Naval Shipyard, it was where, in 1980, the trade union movement known as 'Solidarity' was born, which, led by Lech Walesa and using the method of nonviolent civil resistance, advanced the cause of workers' rights and, after several years of struggle, led to the end of Communism in Poland. Lech Walesa, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 and would become President of the Republic of Poland between 1990 and 1995, was in his office at the Solidarity Museum on the day of the visit and the participants had the pleasure of greeting him and taking some photographs with him, thus ending up the mobility in the best way possible.
