PRESENTATION OF POLISH GROUP INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT

Hello! I'm Joanna Przybylska.

I have been working in primary school for over 30 years. I'm a school counselor - my work is to help children and parents in their difficult situations. I live in Ruda Śląska. I've got an adult son and an old dog.

In my free time I like reading books. My favorite writers are I. Allende, J. Marias, G.G. Marquez, J. Irving. I love Latin-American prose. I think that literature shows us how to live. My motto for this year is „ There is no need to talk about something that nobody asks for”  (J.Allende “El plan infinito”).

I'm also a fun of good movies: especially Czech comedy. I like sociological drama. The last film which impressed me the most is „Her” by Spike Jonze .

I enjoy every spring, every trip. I'm an enthusiast of cycling. I love dogs.

My name's Izabela Drabik. I was born in Ruda Śląska and my birthday is on 7 July. I've got one sister. I'm married. I live in Ruda Śląska with my husband and two sons. I'm a teacher and I work at Elementary School number 20 in Ruda Śląska. I do really like my job. At weekends, I like going to the cinema, theatre, philharmonic hall or cycling with my family. It's important to me to start the day by drinking coffee and reading newspapers, periodicals. In the evenings I like to read interesting books, such as biographies of famous people. I also like spending time with my two best girlfriends. I've known them since the time when we were in elementary school. I'm very happy to meet people from Skjold Skule in Norway. I'm sure that the project will enable me to icrease my teaching skills. I do hope I will be able to use the experiences creatively.

Hi! I’m Beata Pastuszak. I live with my husband in one of the districts of Ruda Śląska. 

At our school I work as an English teacher and have classes with different age groups, from kindergarten  to sixth grade ones which I find both fulfilling and challenging.

I’m passionate about  everything that is connected with my profession, from teaching English  at different levels and developing translation skills to travelling to English-speaking countries.

However, I still believe that the happiest  moments are the ones I share with my family and friends, especially in the bosom of nature, and the book that I have real confidence in is the Holy Scriptures so I let only its  principles guide my life and I’ve  never got disappointed. I’m looking  forward to meeting English teachers in Skjold and hopefully learning something new from their teaching experience. See you in August!

My name’s Barabra Poranek. I live with my family in Ruda Śląska. I’m a primary school teacher and I work with beginning students and teach Science to older classes. I’ve been teaching for more than 25 years but I’m still passionate about it. 

I’ve got a husband and two children, a daughter and a son. The apple of my eye is my cat Maniek, he’s very smart. I love nature and I really enjoy life. I like spending time with my family and friends in an active way. I take pleasure in reading books, and watching good films. My dream is to travel around the world, to feel the taste of unknown and face the adventure.

I can’t wait to meet teachers from Skjold Skule. I hope we will be able to share our knowledge and experience and that this time will be fruitful to us all. 

Hi! My name is Katarzyna Kołodziej. I am a teacher of Mathematics and French. I have been teaching for 24 years in Primary School. I like this job, because it is very creative. I have a brother and a sister who have their families. In my free time I travel a lot, alone or with a group, because I also work abroad sometimes as a tour guide during the holidays. I've already visited many countries and I still dream about knowing the next. I like skiing, reading, walking in the mountains, watching sunsets and beautiful corners of the world.
I am very happy that we will have the opportunity to meet teachers from Skjold skule and we will be able to learn your working methods. I hope that the time spent together will be rich in experiences for us all. See you soon!
