        Are there any people willing to stay in Afyon in Turkiye for 7 years? Are there? Nothing easier! All you have to do is climb (on foot, but up the stairs 12 ) to the very top of the Black Keep. At least that's what the residents of Afyon, who hosted the last project meeting of the "Join the water, brothers and sisters" project, think. A week filled with incredible emotions – from studying the impact of water on felt production to a hot air balloon flight (!) is what we call getting out of our own comfort zone. Of course, the project meeting is also hard work – we have managed to develop significant guidelines and curricula on issues related to the sustainable management of our most valuable treasure – water. Participation in this project brought us closer to each other and taught all its partners that cultural differences are the most interesting phenomenon that brings us together, not divides us. They are nothing but advantages, we learned so much from one another and came home richer in so many ways.

        Pepper and water and abdominal tension.
        No, no, no, it's not what you think! Although one has a lot in common, it is in a slightly different way. This, among other things, was what the students of the Erasmus+ project "Join the water, brother and sisters!" tried to explain.  And they did not have an easy audience. On the occasion of the International Water Day, we were visited by students of grade 2 from Primary School No. 6. In addition to joint dances, songs, riddles, rebuses, sensory and logical games, young leaders presented physical phenomena related to water to the youngest explorers. The competition between the Radiant Stingrays, the Brave Dolphins, the Blasting Otters and the Joyful Starfish was very fierce. And who finally saved the turtle? Who has been there, knows...

        That may sound bad. Maybe boring... But nothing in Mickiewicz is as it might seem at first glance. Our students, especially the members of the Erasmus+ project Join the water, brothers and sisters! : Weronika Buzarewicz, Aleksandra Dąbrowska, Maja Dąbska, Natalia Czekaj, Kornelia Gołębiewska, Monika Krzaczkowska, Dobrawa Szuwalska, Jakub Gruszewski and Szymon Krzewiński, as well as the project coordinator Maria Rządkowska know very well that the greater the challenge ahead of us, the greater the fun and satisfaction of having it completed. And organizing an international virtual project meeting is indeed quite a challenge! And although for a moment we had the impression that everything that could go wrong, did indeed, we managed to make this meeting more than satisfactory. We would like to thank everyone for their help in organizing the virtual project meeting, and in particular Prof. Iwona Andrzejewska and Grażyna Malczewska for the implementation of a very interesting educational material. The next project meeting is coming soon!

        Such a difficult choice of menu items in a Portuguese restaurant was faced by a group of students with their tutors (M. Rządkowska and M. Domański) during a visit to Viseu, which took place as part of the "Join the water, brothers and sisters" project of the Erasmus+ programme. The waiter didn't want to reveal the mentioned secrets, because they are secrets so to speak, and we were afraid to ask  about the roast kid.
        However, not only for culinary reasons (Portuguese cuisine is delicious), Dobrawa (3D), Maja (2e) and Monika and Jakub (3a) will remember the project meeting in Viseu for a long time. Lots of activities and challenges related to the subject of water as the essence of life, great company of students from Portugal and Hungary, new experiences and escapades, amazing views, all this made this trip stay in our memory for a long time. And even a huge downpour that happened to us in Porto and which made us soaked to the bone will not reduce the number of positive memories we brought with us. Especially since it was very much related to the water theme of the whole meeting!
