LTTA - Malta

 

Polish Report 

for the 3rd LTT held in Malta, 18th – 22nd November 2019  EU founded project

 

Participating school:  Zespol Szkół Ogólnoksztalcacych nr 1 w Kwidzynie POLAND

Our Polish team consisted of 6 students: Nikola Krauze, Jakub Pirożek, Ania Nowak, Zuzanna Seklecka, Kamil Nowak, Kamil Snoch and 2 teachers: Sebastian Więckowski and Piotr Opacian.

We arrived in Malta on the 17th November and due to the airlines timetable left Malta as late as on the 24th November, two days after the end of the 3rd LTT. We were the last participants to leave the charming island.

All the week our team was accommodated in a very comfortable hotel: The Preluna Hotel and Spa, in Sliema.

We are happy with all the activities which took place during the 3rd LTT. Everything was carried out according to the agenda. The activities were diversified, not only focused on sport and diversity but developed well social skills, mutual trust and cooperation as well as developed students’ language skills. Students could communicate only in English which gave them a lot of practice as well as improved their confidence. Overall, our students found the experience very rewarding.

 Monday, 18th November

On the first day of the LTT our team was welcomed by the Head of our Maltese partner school and we were shown around the school. Our students shared with other students multimedia presentations prepared for that event. Apart from sport and disability in sports they showed an interview with a boy ( now already a girl ) undergoing sex-changing treatment.  The boy was at the time of the interview our student ( last year ). He was brave enough to  talk about how otherness especially the otherness of sexuality is perceived by his peers. Not to our surprise, sometimes it makes the life of “different” people hard. Anyway, our students hope such an interview may help. Our students watched and listened to their peers from other countries with great interest. Later on in multinational teams played different sports.

During the second day all the students did a trek to Chadwick Lakes. As there were different activities during the track our students enjoyed it very much. The activity they found the most challenging and interesting at the same time was a blindfolded walk. Being led blindfolded by a stranger speaking English along a bit slippery path climbing to the top of a hill, and not quite so rarely “stamping their foot into a puddle” splashing the murky water all around must have been at least a little bit unnerving but at the same time built up mutual trust and teach team work.

Wednesday, 20th November

This day was sunny again and good. We were to do a sightseeing tour around the Maltese sister island, Gozo. It was a great day for our students. They learned a lot about Maltese history, culture and cuisine. The present and the past intertwined, a perfect tour.

Thursday, 21st November

The day started with a bit of adrenaline – a competition between teams: Capture the Flag at Ta’ Qali. That was a great wake up for students, no coffee was necessary. With their minds stimulated in this way they did the second portion of sightseeing around Mdina’s fascinating architecture and religious places. That was unforgettable day for our students and the farewell dinner in the evening even though a very pleasant event itself was a sad reminder that their wonderful experience was coming to the end. After the meal all the students were given certificates testifying their participation in this LTT mobility. 

 Friday, 22nd

That was a day of farewell to other teams.  The Maltese team organized some activities at Golden Bay beach to make it less discomforting. Nevertheless, some tears appeared.

 Saturday, 23rd

That was a full day to wait for an early flight on Sunday morning. Our team didn’t want to lose it. We had arrange still before our arrival at the 3rd LTT a sea kayaking trip along a piece of Maltese coast with MC Adventure Malta. The weather was great. A gentle breeze from the east made it a bit more challenging to the delight of our students.    

Sunday, 24th

Early Sunday morning greeted us all at the Maltese airport. It was the ultimate time to say goodbye to Malta. Thank you Maltese team it was a perfectly organized mobility. Thank you Bulgaria, France, Greece and Italy! It wouldn’t have been that great without you.
