On 25th February in our school there was organised a poetry competition devoted to body image in poems. All lower-high schools in Toruń were invited to take part in this event.

SI: Our Italian inspiration (Poland)

Due to the fact that in April ours school is going to be the host for all of the partner schools we started to promote their culture and traditions amongst our pupils. In January during the history lesson two of our students, who participated in the exchange the previous year, talked about Italy and Italian food. To make it more realistic the girls prepared some Italian dishes for their peers. The lessons was nicely done and all students enjoyed it a lot!

Body image in pop culture (Poland)

In December and January students studied body image in pop culture. They prepared information about changes in fashion, sports, adverts that have affected the image of men and women throughout centuries. During their Polish lessons they discussed topics concerning fashion styles in various periods and also in sports. Many posters were created as well as a fashion show movie which will be presented during the second exchange of students in April. All information was also gathered in a summarizing Power Point presentation.
