Norbert Tutko and Jasiek Żuk together with their teachers Beata Adasik and
Marcin Paśnikowski. We are from Gimnazjum nr 3 im. Noblistów Polskich

school does its best to provide for the students with special needs, students
gifted at English, Spanish, Maths and Sciences, as well as sports athletes. A
number of teachers and students are involved in organising numerous charity
events. We hope to have a great time, making friends, learning about democracy

better place.

Lithuanian school in Lentvaris. Now being a member of UNESCO Associated Schools, we are always eager to co-operate with schools from other countries to
make this world a better place for people. At the camp, we hope to learn more
about democracy and how it works. We also hope to find new life-long friends

We are Troy, Ryan, Tin-Tin, Emma, Amanda, and Sophie, and teachers Ann Vogel and Laryssa Schmidt. Our school, Charles Wright Academy, is located in Washington State, USA. We are focused on getting a global education, learning at least one world language, hosting other students during the school’s Global Summit (in which the Polish school from Swidnik participates) and working toward social justice, friendships, and peace. Our school has over 300 students. Although the curriculum is rigorous and college-preparatory, teachers and students believe learning works best when there is plenty of humor and fun. Democracy Camp certainly will provide both of those and the team from the USA is ready!
Hi, everyone! Greetings to all in the
Democracy camp 2017 from Garliava Juozas Lukša High School, Kaunas reg.. At our
school a special emphasis is placed on tolerance education and citizenship
education, which we believe is the core value to a democratic society. We are
Ema, Karina, Grėtė, Nojus, Augustinas and Jonas and our English teacher and
class tutor Saulius. We are super excited to be here and look forward to
meeting new friends, learning, communicating, collaborating and having fun
together the whole next week. What are we waiting for? Let's roll!
As we arrived at
the camp, introduction and communication games started. We all had a lot of fun
drawing each other standing in two concentric circles and later on trying to
find out three interesting facts about each other. Our drawings made on envelopes
ended up on a Friendship Line where we will leave messages to each other for
the rest of the week.
The drawing
activity was followed by a “snowball fight“. We got an exciting challenge to
find the person whose name was written on one of the balls and then a person
whose hobby was written down on another ball. Sounds quite unbelievable, but in
one hour we talked to almost every student at the camp and learnt quite a lot
of interesting facts about each other.
Having learnt
about each other, we were divided into six groups. Our goal was to create our
camp rules. We had a chance to get to every group to discuss every site at the
camp using the World Cafe method. At the end, when we got back to our initial
groups, we chose 3-5 main rules for every site discussed that we are ready to
follow every day that we are on this camp.
The day ended by
the campfire. Tutors Tomas and Simas introduced us to the old Baltic way of
setting fire and the relation of water and fire that make harmony. To our
surprise, the fire was started without any matches, just using flint. The fire
accompanied by our singing was taken to the campfire place and we all threw
some salt, linen seeds and amber dust into the fire to make our wishes come
true.
The day ended
very quickly. We are eager to find out what the following days will offer
to us :-)
