Traditional food on special days



In December 2012 each of the eight institutions participating in the project made booklets as well as multimedia presentations on what people eat on some special days typical of their own countries. Afterwards the works were sent to all the other partner schools to be used during classes.

The brochures and PowerPoint presentations prepared by the pupils of Leżajsk Primary School No. 2 refer to the Polish culinary traditions connected with Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, Shrove Thursday and Easter.


While carrying out the task the pupils made use of various sources on the topic (books, the internet, interviews with the workers of an ethnographic museum), getting to know some aspects of the Polish cultural heritage in that way. They also developed their design, ICT and language skills.

All the materials received from the partner schools were used as teaching aids, mostly during Citizenship and English lessons, contributing to deepening the pupils’ knowledge about other cultures and improving their command of foreign languages. The booklets from abroad were put on a school display to be seen by the teachers, the pupils and their parents.
