WELCOME to CAPTURE YOUR THOUGHTS

It’s time to sum up what we did during those 10 intensive days. Tired but happy we returned home, trying to get used to daily routines again.

Are you curious to know how we captured our thoughts?
Check what did we do during the exchange!

Day 1.

Our journey to Jagodne Wielkie was an ordinary bus ride. 20 participants captured in one place for more than 5 hours! Time to start INTEGRATION! Just 45 minutes before final destination prolonged with an unpredictable stop in the middle of nowhere… What a luck :P. Finally thanks to our bus driver we arrived at Old Village School in Jagodne Wielkie – our home for next 9 days. Organizers and delicious dinner already waiting for us!

Day 4.

Ecology was a theme of the day. Starting with a movie on this issue we prepared ourselves for the excursion to Kadzidlowo. Folklore museum and Wild Animal’s Park of Kadzidlowo were waiting for us! Goofy warm-up at the parking and off we go to explore the places. Old village house and school in one building…this is how it used to be in 19th – till beginning of 20th century in this region. Handmade stuff and household equipment. After lunch – entering wild animals’ hospital and endangered species’ reproducing center. COOL!

Day 7.

Time for a bike-ride and do some out-door sports. Biking through the fields and forest…down and up the hills…passing villages and houses, old cemetery and cows…everything in one loop. After that joggling workshop and sport games. All of us needed some fresh air! In the afternoon time to explore the dark room and develop our black and white photos. We already know how the chemicals work. Now it’s time to use enlargers and finish what we’ve started by shooting with our analogue cameras!

Day 8.

Coming to Mazurian Lakes cannot pass without visiting the biggest lake and Mikolajki! Weather was perfect our moods as well. Ready for a new adventure! Making some confusion in the main square of Mikolajki was just a beginning of a perfect day. Just few minutes after noon THE CRUISE has started. Just watch Piotrek’s video... no comments are needed :D
In the afternoon we moved to the dark-room again to finish our work and started preparing the display. Black&white and color, names, titles and descriptions…Getting ready for tomorrow’s exhibition.

Day 9.

So so…our adventure is nearly coming to the end. Today - the Big Day! Time to show the results of our work. Exhibition opening at 17:00 in “Swietlica” of Rydzewo – village near Jagodne Wielkie. But before time to set the boards for display and sum up the project. Group of participants decided to promote our exhibition with posters and face to face invitations for inhabitants of Jagodne Wielkie and Rydzewo. Some of them really came to see what’s going on in “Świetlica”. During the opening night there were some prizes…for the nicest person, the most talented, most annoying, most bossy person etc. … guess who won each of them?
After that…time to go back to Jagodne Wielkie and do the luggage…AND THEN farewell party with delicious dinner, viewing photos and a movie from the cruise.
In the middle of the night…the time has come to say GOOD BYE to Jagodne Wielkie. And here we start our journey back home…
