Warsaw

We all met in Warsaw. We visited the most beautiful places of the capital – we went to the Old Town, we saw the Royal Castle, the Presidential Palace and we walked along the Warsaw old streets. The highlight of the trip was the Warsaw Rising Museum situated in the old Jewish Ghetto district. The culinary adventure started in a Polish restaurant. On the very first day we tasted ‘pierogi’ and traditional sweets.

Radom Technical School Principal Mrs Bernadeta Kudas welcomes all the participants of the project

The Polish part of the project included taking part in IT Conference „Nowoczesne Technologie Informacyjne w Służbie Cyfrowej Szkoły i Administracji Publicznej” organised by Radom Technical School. We participated in a numer of workshops dealing with a technological aspect of teaching. We decided on the presentation of our activities on the website. Łukasz Gierek showed how to use the website tools and how to communicate using social media. As the majority of workshops and lectures were conducted in English, the project participant had an opportunity to chose the workshops of interest and take part in them. We also had a few organisational meeting in which we discussed the details of the whole project.

The aim of participating in the IT Conference is to take part in IT educational workshops

In Poland we don’t only taste Polish dishes. We learn how to make pierogi

We visited Radom Countyside Museum. In this living museum we saw old village houses, wind mills, churches and other buildings. All in the snowy scenery. Fun, especially for our guests from Southern Europe. The sightseeing ended with a culinary workshop, in which a professional chef taught us how to make ‘pierogi.’ The workshop integrated all the project participants.

Merry Christmas

One of the common project tasks was to prepare national delicacies and send them to other countries together with the recipes and Christmas cards. Opening and tasting Christmas sweets was so much fun. We also recorded Christmas songs and carols and shared them with others.

Warsaw. One city, two faces

Each city has a place that is its showcase and a must-see on any trip. In Warsaw, it’s the Old Town, entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List – it’s where the city’s heart has been beating for centuries. However, when you cross the Vistula River and look at the Old Town from a distance, you are struck by how unusual the panorama of the city is – skyscrapers rise above the red roofs of the Old Town. Historical buildings blend in harmoniously with modern architecture, and the city surprises us by revealing its second face.

International Teachers Conference

From the 16th to 18th November, 2018 Radom Technical School will hold the 14th nationwide conference “Modern Information Technologies in the Service of a Digital School.” It will be three days rich in lectures, workshops, meetings with companies from the IT industry, representatives of self-government units and teachers who are innovators in teaching. So far, the conference has always enjoyed great interest. We have gathered over 200 participants and many business representatives.

Our patrons have included, among others, the Minister of Education, the Minister of Digitalisation, the Masovia Curator of Education, Marshal and the Governor of Masovia Province. We have hosted companies, such as ASUS, Cisco, Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett Packard and Samsung. Organized by the Radom Technical School, the conference features over 20 exciting and inspirational lectures and over 100 hours of workshops to learn directly the latest tools used in education. Apart from intensive study and work, it also includes many hours of individual meetings between participants and representatives of IT companies.

Exploring Polish taste

Participants will taste extraordinary Polish cuisine which is a style of cooking and food preparation originating in or widely popular in Poland. Polish cuisine has evolved over the centuries to become very eclectic due to Poland’s history. Polish cuisine shares many similarities with other West Slavic countries like neighbouring Czech and Slovak. It has also been widely influenced by other Central European cuisines, namely German, Austrian and Hungarian cuisines as well as Jewish, French, Turkishand Italian culinary traditions. It is rich in meat, especially pork, chicken and beef (depending on the region), winter vegetables (cabbage in the dish bigos), spices, and herbs.

We will try Polish cuisine in a beautiful location – Radom Village Museum

Discovering Cracow

The city of Krakow, which lies on the banks of the Vistula River, was for centuries the capital of Poland, and has accumulated a quarter of Poland’s total number of museum artefacts.

A visit to Krakow is a meeting with the most glorious era in Polish history. Krakow’s Old Town, along with Wawel Castle and the city’s Kazimierz district were placed on the First World Heritage List, created by UNESCO in 1978. At that time, such prestigious recognition had been awarded to only 12 of the world’s most famous heritage sites, including the Egyptian pyramids and the Great Wall of China. Today, the list contains more than 900 sites

KL Auschwitz-Birkenau

All over the world, Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust. It was established by Germans in 1940, in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Its name was changed to Auschwitz, which also became the name of Konzentrationslager Auschwitz.

The direct reason for the establishment of the camp was the fact that mass arrests of Poles were increasing beyond the capacity of existing “local” prisons. The first transport of Poles reached KL Auschwitz from Tarnów prison on June 14, 1940. Initially, Auschwitz was to be one more concentration camp of the type that the Nazis had been setting up since the early 1930s. It functioned in this role throughout its existence, even when, beginning in 1942, it also became the largest of the death camps.
