The Complex of Upper Secondary Schools of Mechanics, Electrics and
Electronics in Toruń Our working team consists of
seven teachers. We all
work in the Complex of Mechanic, Electric and Electronic Schools, which
is a partner in the project that is being realised. ZSMEiE is a
secondary technical school where youth acquire education in the spheres
of information technology, mechatronics, electronics and electrics. We
teach different subjects, we carry out different tasks. However, we are
all united by common zeal for work with students (772 boys and only 3
girls between the age of 16 and 19) and by work for the benefit of
Leonardo da Vinci project as well.
In September 2002 our school got a fax informing us
about Linking Up – for Mobility in Europe Programme. With our head
teacher’s approval I decided to take care of this programme thinking
that maybe something would come of it, that maybe it is worth trying…. I
took the fax and went to Lucyna. Lucyna read it and said only one thing
‘send e-mails’. So I sent to 40 different Norwegian schools and
institutions. In reply I received 3 e-mails among which I found a letter
of request for cooperation signed by Øyvind Ingstad.
Simply because in 2004 Linking Up Programme came to
an end and we, knowing our common needs and capabilities, still wanted
to cooperate with Sør – Trondelag Fylkeskommune. That is why, when
Øyvind suggested that we should take part in the Leonardo da Vinci pilot
project, we signed it without hesitation.
How was the Guideline for parents within the
framework of Work Package number 3 coming into existence?
The best ideas (Lucyna’s and mine) were being
created between 7a.m. and 8.15 a.m. while we were having our morning
coffee on the back of classroom number 19, before the lesson started.
Then, after a long school break Bogusia or Renata came and added their
ideas or ruined whole our work because according to them it was
something wrong with the guideline for parents. And the meetings on
Thursdays in the forenoon when we quarrelled almost about every single
word in the description of the exercises for parents.. And Sylvia, who
as a teacher of economy uses professional vocabulary perfectly, was
making last corrections. Finally, our work was translated into English.
First, Magda was translating it and now it is Ewa who is replacing her.
