International pupils-meeting
Group of von-Vincke-Schule takes part in project in Poland
Soest – What is it like to live in an international community for one week? In May, 4 pupils of von-Vincke-Schule, who travelled to Poland with their teachers, got to know this. There they met other pupils and teachers from Poland, Bulgaria, Finland, Greece and Cyprus as a part of the Comenius-project, that is supported by the EU.
Von-Vincke-Schule is the only special school in this project. But the fact, that Steffi and Ben are blind and their mates Adrian and Sven are visually handicapped, wasn’t a problem for the other participants.
The Germans were always together with the whole group, whatever they did. They did a walking tour through the mountains, sightseeing, a day-trip to Breslau and went out in restaurants.
They were welcomed by their guest-families in a very cordial way. To exchange some words with their guest-parents, the pupils had done a mini Polish-course with their teachers, in which they learned the most important phrases.
The spa with the German name “Bad Flinsberg” is located about 55 km off the German border.
