Teachers Exchange in Barlinek, Poland WRITTEN BY MARIA From November 26, 2019, within the framework of a three-day-long teacher exchange from the Erasmus + Project called "European migration by the eye of journalism", our school hosted teachers from partner schools in Riga and teachers from a partner school in Athens. The visit was aimed at the participation of teachers from 3 schools in project training as well as discussing and planning key activities resulting from the project assumptions.

The exchange officially began with a meeting with the school's headmaster and a tour of school buildings, followed by a short presentation on the teachers of our school team and partner schools. After the break, two training workshops began, "Digital and online tools for publishing school messages" and "Sources of materials

We learn about the fate of Poles exiled to Siberia REPORTED BY MAJA & MATEUSZ As part of the Erasmus+ project entitled "European migration by the eye of journalism", we met people who experienced a dramatic fate in the 20th century.

On November 13, 2019, there was a meeting with Mrs. Maria Symonowicz and Mr Jan KĹ‚adny in our school.

The students gathered in the classroom to listen to the stories of people exiled to Siberia. We heard a lot of new

And since January 2, 2016, the name of TVP Regionalna has changed to TVP 3. The shared broadcast has been shortened, and each branch broadcasts more of its own program, including breakfast and afternoon.

A separate chapter is the history of Szczecin television, which you can learn through the website: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVP3_Szczecin.

We witnessed the implementation of one of the programs, then we met the room of editors who implement the mentioned programs. We also visited the so-called directory office, and a room where TV programs with the help of an amazing equipment are implemented and assembled, and then put forward to other television stations. In journalistic slang it is called ETERPRISE which is a reference to the TV series "Start Trek". It is worth noting that Szczecin TV makes also live programs. During this visit, we were able to ask many questions, we learned about the specifics of the work of a television journalist, but also about the real problems of everyday life. I think that for many of us this tour of Szczecin TV turned out to be a real surprise too.

How is Kurier Szczecinski published?

WRITTEN BY JULIA AND NIKOLA

"Kurier

Szczeciński"

is

the

first

post-war

daily

newspaper in Western Pomerania. At the beginning from 1945 - it was published in the Szczecin Province.

Currently, it is distributed throughout the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The paper used to be an afternoon. It has been a morning daily since 1994. We were very lucky that together with our guests from Riga and Athens on November 28, 2019, we were able to visit the editors of this magazine and get to know the backstage of work on the next issues.

In the Kurier's editorial office we were welcomed by Marek Klasa (in the picture above), the person who deals with journalism on a daily basis. The Courier's editorial office is located in Szczecin at Plac Hołdu Pruskiego on two floors of a magnificent tenement house. We started the meeting in this renowned newspaper from the editor-in-chief's room and talk about the beginning of the magazine. Later we visited the "city department", where articles on current topics from Szczecin are created.

A: In general, I moved with my parents on June 15, 2017, and it was very difficult for me because learning a new language was quite scary.

Worth reading! Worth listening too!

Migration is a word that brings about different associations, it is a phenomenon that refers to many cultural and social aspects, inspiring artists, musicians and poets. We want to present to you the review of the book and film "Asylum" and the text of the song of the band LAO CHE from the album "Knowledge about society"

To sum up, I think that both the film and the book are noteworthy and recommendable, although in my opinion they are poorly advertised and promoted. This story definitely deserves to be popularized. It is a story about two people devoting their lives to others, fighting for their rights, for equality of all people, perseverance and keeping hope. The Żabińskis' marriage,

Asylum". The whole story is based on facts that were taken from the book "The Zookeeper's Wife" by Diane Ackerman. All information contained in this novel comes from the diary of the title wife of zoo director Jan Żabiński - Antonina Żabińska. The Polish title was changed to "Asylum" and there was certainly a good reason for it. The main characters - as I mentioned above - are the Żabińskis. One day, their idyllic life in Warsaw and the zoo is disturbed by the outbreak of World War II and bombing raids over the capital of Poland. Some of the animals are killed and the other is soon taken to German zoos. Terrible times are coming in Warsaw, a Jewish ghetto is being created. The Żabińskis could not ignore the harm happening around them. For many people of Jewish descent, they turned out to be heroes, because they turned a destroyed zoo

Lao Che 'Knowledge about society' The title "Knowledge about society" is obviously associated with the name of the school subject, but the Lao Che album goes far beyond the school walls, definitions and pedagogical rules. Hubert "Spięt" Dobaczewski, created an album slightly mocking our parochial Polishness - it is the voice of an ordinary gray man concerned about what he sees outside the window or on the TV screen, the voice of a man who has our good at heart and is not afraid to speak about it loudly. The variety of this album is surprising. It is impossible to classify the form of the album to one style defined in music. Lao Che has accustomed us a long time ago to their original style, their rock sound,

human nature. Undoubtedly, Antonina and Jan will be counted among the positive heroes, and on the other side will be their German - until recently friend director of the German zoo Lutz Heck. In my opinion, the actor played a great role of a villain, expressive and full of negative emotions. Goodness and hope - these were feelings that were at a premium during the occupation. Not every Pole would risk their lives for another person, while the Żabińskis risked their lives for about 300 Jews. This is a heroic act that should certainly be commemorated. Although war and the ghetto are really the second plan, they are an ideal background for leading interpersonal interactions love, dedication and life in fear.
