Today at the open air museum, I liked our collecting nettles, and that we learned how to make butter, and how people lived in earlier times without electricity; it was a hard life. We made fire with a flint and a piece of iron. And I learned how to make nettle tea.

Kacper,18 lat, Jaworzno
Today at the open air museum I was intrigued by the simple and interesting way how one can make tea from nettles, and make butter from cream. I also learned about how, in earlier times, people lived without electricity in difficult circumstances.
Daniel, 23 years, Jaworzno

I was surprised to drink nettle tea, and how the burning feeling can be stopped with a specific plant, and also making fire with a flintstone.

Today at the open air museum I liked the tour, and it was interesting how to make tea from nettles and how to make butter; it was also interesting how we used metal and flintstone in order to make a fire. I learned how one can live without electricity, which I found very interesting. I also learned how hard life was for people in earlier times, but they did not despair, and that is wonderful.

The most beautiful moment for me, was the presentation with fire, walking on nails and over shards of glass, how can one feel like air?
Dla mnie najpiekniejszym momentem, jaki byl, to pokaz z ogniem, stawanie na gwozdziach, chodzenie po szkle, jak mozna sie czuc spokojnie jak powietrze .
Today i learned to trust in myself, and learned that it is sometimes valuable to trust the others, learned that it is rewarding to ask, if one cannot do it oneself. Exchange within the group is very important, as you can speak about your feelings and express them.
Dzisiaj nauczylem sie pewnosci siebie ze czasami warto jest zaufac drugiemu czlowiekowi, jezeli czegos nie potrafisz, warto zapytac. Rozmawianie w grupie, to bardzo wazne, ze mozna wyrazic swoje odczucia i je powiedziec, wyrazic.

The most important moment was pantomime, and when one person lead the other around as their mirror image. In the morning, one could learn to walk over shards of glass, and how one can deal with fire without danger.
Najwazniejszym momentem, bylo udawanie pantomimy i ze jak jedna osoba druga osobe prowadzila jak lustrzane odbicie. Rano bylo mozna nauczyc sie chodzenia po szkle, jak bezpiecznie obchodzic sie z ogniem.
Today I learned about teamwork, as we were, during the exercises we made, all in one group. The group was Polish, German, and French at the same time.
Dzis nauczylam sie pracy zespolowej, gdyz te cwiczenia, co dzis wykonalismy wszyscy w jednej grupie tak jak w: polskiej, niemieckiej, jak i francuskiej.

An important insight for me was, that one has to take care of oneself. Today I learned how to trust others.
Wazny moment dla mnie, to uwazac na siebie. Dzis sie nauczylam, jak zaufac innej osobie.

An important moment for me today was the activity with closed eyes, as one could test ones trust. It is rewarding to trust other people. You can work with everyone, a foreign language is not a problem, as we can communicate with gestures, and it also motivates me to learn a foreign language.
Waznym momentem dzisiaj dla mnie byla zabawa z zamknientymi oczami, poniewaz mozna bylo sie sprawdzic z zaufaniem. Warto ufac ludziom. Mozna ze wszystkimi pracowac, obcy jezyk nie stwarza mi problemu, poniewaz porozumiewam sie gestami, a dodatkowo motywuje mnie to do nauki jezyka obcego.

Today I learned to trust the group, as I was convinced that the group is very understanding; one can trust them and they will help you in difficult situations. I have learned a lot of games, which I will remember forever, as, playing those games, you have so much fun, so much enjoyment.
Dzisiaj nauczylem sie ufac calej grupie, poniewaz przekonalem sie, ze ta grupa jest wyrozumiala, mozna im sie zwierzyc i oni zawsze pomoga w ciezkich chwilach. Ja dzisiaj zapoznalem duzo gier, ktore zostana w mojej glowie na zawsze, poniewaz jest przy tych grach duzo zabawy, duzo radosci.

The experiences in relation to the circus (walking on nails, walking on glass, and fire on one’s own body) was positive for the whole group.
L’expérience dans le domaine du cirque (marcher sur des clous, sur du verre et mettre du feu sur soi-meme) a été positive pour l’ensemble du groupe.
Some of us would never have imagined to be able to do this one day. This was also a way of overcoming one’s own fears.
Certains n´auraient jamais cru pouvoir faire ca un jour. Ca été aussi la possibilité de surmonter leurs peurs.
The activity regarding pantomime was funny and the one regarding string puppets very interesting, as one could let a partner make the gestures one wants them to make.
L´activité du mime a été amusante et celle de la marionette très intéressante du fait que l´on pouvait s´amuser à faire faire les gestes que l´on voulait à notre partenaire.
These activities allowed the group to have trust in each others, for some to face their own fears, to get to know their own senses, and overcome one’s own boundaries, all the time while enjoying oneself.
Ces activités ont permit au groupe d´apprendre à avoir confiance en l´autre,
d´affronter ses peurs pour certains, de mieux connaitre ses propres sens pour
d´autres et de dépasser ses limites, tout en s´amusant.

On Thursday, 2nd July, we visited a former garbage dump, where, over the course of 33 years, garbage was dumped, and which now was rebuilt into a place of learning and enjoyment.
Le 2 juillet, nous sommes partis visiter une ancienne décharge où ils ont accumulé pendant 33 ans des ordures et qui a été réamenagée en site pour apprendre et s’amuser.
We climbed up the mountain Metabolon. Metabolon is derived from the word metabolism, which means transformation of materials.
Nous sommes montés au Metabolon qui vient du mot métabolisme qui signifie transformation de toutes les matières.
We also visited an exhibition space with decorative items made from recycled materials.
Nous avons visité aussi une salle d’exposition avec du matériel recyclé en objets de décoration.
We climbed up to a height of 150 meters, and visited a room called “Lernort” (place of learning), where we did an activity using a questionnaire on the topic of the ecological footprint.
Nous sommes montés à une hauteur de 150 mètres et nous sommes rentrés dans une salle qui s’appelle „Lernort“ où nous avons fait une activité avec un questionnaire sur le sujet de l´empreinte écologique.
We calculated to find out how much area is needed to sustain or way of living.
Nous avons calculé pour savoir la surface qu’il faudrai pour maintenir notre mode de vie.
We also used the slides down the Metabolon mountain, and we did a sliding race with the German and Polish group.
Nous avons fait du tobogan sur le mont Metabolon où nous avons fait une course de glissades avec le groupe polonais et le groupe allemand.
We then had a picnic at the outdoor area of the energy centre. We took the bus back to the hostel, where we are staying for the two weeks, and did an activity in the courtyard of the hostel.
Nous avons pique-niqué dans le site de compétences énergitiques. Nous avons repris le bus pour rentrer à l’auberge, où nous sommes accueillis pendants 2 semaines, nous avons ensuite fait une activitée dans la cour de l’auberge.
On the third of July, we had our first working day in our ewoca³ project (Katowice/ Dunkerque/ Bonn).
We worked at the Don-Bosco-Club in trinational groups at four different locations.
Five participants of the group worked on an insect hotel, another group, also made up of five participants, built a windmill, still another group built a solar shower. This group also consisted of five participants. The other eleven participants planted flowers and plants into large boxes.
In order for the work to go smoothly, in the morning, before we started we had a small language animation.
However, the day was not fully occupied with work, but also with lots of fun. We cooled ourselves down with a little water fight.
The solar shower group also did a little colour fight.
Again and again, we see that work is not just work, but also a lot of fun. And by now, we are not just a group, over time we have become a great team, which we have proved today, once again.
We are very excited for and look forward to tomorrow!
