We
thank Comenius 1 for the financial support within the bounds of the educational
program SOCRATES of the European Commission.
The editorial
staff of the project takes full responsibility for the content. The opinion
of the European Commission is not reproduced, in no way.
In 1995 the
European Union has created the Action Program SOCRATES for the educational
sector to enable schools to work together on selected projects across the
borders.
Carrying out
these projects, teachers are mediators and multiplicators contacting twi
schools from other European countries via SOCRATES - part of this program
is Comenius 1 (school twinning ).
Our common
school project with twin schools in Finland (Imatra) and Sweden (Arjäng)
is called “ Tourism in View of Enterprising and Ecological Aspects ”.
Each school
surveyed waters to this topic in its hometown areas, our pupils in the
“Goitzsche”.
The different
teams intensivly dealt with the history of the “Goitzsche”, historically
- created stationaries, territorial violation by coal - mining in the area
of Bitterfeld, the eco - system “soil“, the condition of the soil, the
waters`survey, the flooding of the “Goitzsche”, the newly - developed sights
or tourist attractions, the state of the development of the public transportation,
options for sports and recreation, suggestions for the organization and
realization of excursions and trips.
So, a travel
guide in German, English, French and Russian came into being to help our
students to explain the sights of our recreational centre “Goitzsche” to
foreign guests.
