The history of school

School projects

 Project Leonardo

    There was an international meeting of various European countries in Dierhagen (Germany) from 18th to 27th July 2005 for purpose of elimination of language barriers and mutual understanding. Our republic represented seven students with a teacher conducting. Meeting was coming through in well-disposed atmosphere by the Baltic seaside in leisure amenities of German partner Start G.m.b.H. in a presence of students from Finland, Hungary, Poland, Germany and Czech Republic. The main program was a recognition cultural differentness of present state regions. Our students presented South Moravian regions with a view to microregions of Bzenec, Straznice and Bile Karpaty. Each group performed to others their country for one evening. While serving pork meat with dumpling and sauerkraut and singing national songs, which were very enjoyed, were projected video-show of natural and cultural sights and or people’s life. Our students commented that in German and in English. Organizers took hold of this meeting in sportsmanship too, so there run a lot of matches there. Our bois won medals for 3rd place at beach volleyball and for a win in football (soccer). But the biggest victory was the break out of language barriers and continuation of friendship among young people of all states. Exchanging of address, phones and e-mails did go without saying. This fact valued esp. representatives of embassies, who we visited on our trip to Berlin. Next remarkable experience for our “over-lands “ was the visit of oceanographic museum and salt-water fish aquarium in Stralsund.

     We trust, this happy meeting wasn’t the last one and that’s why we have been preparing next exchange meetings and tours for young people.

     At present are intensely prepared exchangeable stays for our school students and students of our partner timber and fishery school in Ludwigslust (Germany), which is a part of a school complex in four cities – Berusbildungsstätte Start G.m.b.H.
