WORKSHOPS WITH ETNOGRAPHERS

The Polish school has joined the national school project „EtnoLog –zaloguj się na ludowo” [Etno-log – log in in a folk way].  The organizer of this action is Centrum Edukacji Obywatelskiej [Centre for Citizenship Education in Warsaw and The Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw.

On 18^th October 2010, our school has invited two young ethnographers: Mrs Małgorzata  Czyżewska and Mr Stanisław  Niemojewski who presented our students and teachers with the aims of ethnography, ethnology and explained what regionalism is about. The participants of the workshops have been drawing posters and mind maps about ethnography. The ethnographers have boosted students’ knowledge and  showed them how fascinating and unique our national and local treasures can be. The workshops helped us to start our own Comenius project called “Ethno Treasure Hunt” and set our minds on the right track. We hope to share some end products with the organizers of the workshops and hope that whatever we find through the work in both project will bring us new and exciting results and experiences.
