International Comenius Meeting at Spatzenhaus Neukalen

From 24^th to 28^th September 16 guests from Hungary, Estonia and France met within the bounds of the Comeniusproject „European Values – Our Values“ at the AWO - SpatzenHaus Neukalen. They got a hearty welcome with a great programme by our children. While visiting our house everybody was enthusiastic about the super conditions our children have here to play and to learn. In our workshops they tried together with the children how the Freinet-principle works in practice. Also in the Kita FREIraum in Dargun our guests expressed how  impressed they where about the deep trust we obviously have in the children. This is one basic point of the Freinet concept.

Willi Voß, the mayor of Neukalen met our guests at the townhall and walked with

them through the town at the river Peene.

One high spot of this third international meeting was a visit at the Dargun monastery. In monks' clothes and a medieval surrounding we experienced a great evening.

While going by bogy from Dargun to Neukalen we did not only enjoy the idyllic nature but sang songs and had a lot of fun.

Our meetings to analyze the sofar work and to plan further steps took place in the new, modern rooms of the Peenecamp Neukalen.

The high spot in Neukalen was a big BBQ with the children of our house together with their families, the teachers  and other guests. Everybody was enthusiastic about the dance of the „funcies“ of the Neukalen Carneval Club.

Mister Schmidt, the manager of AWO-Sozialdienst Demmin gGmbH and initiator of our comenius-project, had intensive talks with many of the participants.

Bevor going back home with a lot of impressions and ideas, we showed our guests our capital Berlin.

 

These days in Neukalen have been a great success. Here we want to say THANK YOU to all the institutions and people who supported us so willingly.
