Students participating in the project “What we know about tolerance” No. 2022-1-PL01-KA152-YOU-000067324, eager to expand their knowledge about their western neighbors, once again focused on the symbols that characterize a given country. This time, however, they focused a bit more on Polish symbols. Each of them was additionally translated into Polish so that the students could learn new words in Polish.

As part of the classes, they learned that Poland has 3 special national symbols:

• emblem: White Eagle,
• colors: white and red
• anthem: Mazurek Dąbrowskiego

In addition to national symbols, Poland has many other symbols that characterize this country, e.g. birch, poppy, stork, European bison and many others. Pupils getting to know the map of Poland and its voivodships in detail also learned what symbols a given voivodship or city is associated with.

At the end of the classes, all students were divided into groups, in which each had the task to describe the remembered symbols of Poland and compare them with the symbols of Ukraine. While presenting their work against the backdrop of all the students, each one in turn talked about a symbol of his choice and presented what makes it unique for a given country.
