Arrivés à Gdansk le 26 avril au soir, les terminales (BFI et Germanistes) présents dans le cadre de la mobilité accréditée PRINTEMPS POLONAIS 2026 ont visité le quartier de leur hôtel, à Gdansk, le matin du lundi 27 avril. Les seize élèves participants et leurs professeurs, M Vanderplancke et M Puyjalon, ont ensuite été rejoints par leurs homologues du lycée de Kwidzyn, pour visiter tous ensemble et avant midi la Westerplatte, le lieu où débuta la seconde guerre mondiale. Une première journée très bien remplie, puisque, après un repas typique pris en commun dans un restaurant du centre-ville (la découverte de celui-ci étant facilitée par des exposés faits par les élèves de Kwidzyn) l'après-midi fut consacrée à la visite du Centre Solidarnosc. L'agenda du mardi 28 fut dominé par des ateliers de socialisation et l'intégration dans le lycée partenaire ; toutefois, l'ouverture culturelle n'a pas été pas négligée (tout au contraire, les apprenants et leurs professeurs ont réalisé une visite transnationale de la cathédrale de kwidzyn). Des ateliers éducatifs (dans le prolongement des premiers travaux entamés la veille) furent mis en oeuvre le mercredi 29 mais surtout, une "soirée" comprenant des jeux et des collaborations ludiques (cuisine, repas, quizz, et danses - ce qui tombait bien, par le hasard du calendrier : cette journée du 29 étant en effet dédiée à la célébration de la danse, partout dans le monde). L'étude de l'histoire de la Shoah et de la seconde guerre mondiale fut enfin au coeur des activités du jeudi 30 avril (visites du camp de concentration de Stutthof et du Musée de Gdansk consacré au conflit). Pour achever de réfléchir à la résilience et conclure la mobilité par un moment plus touristique, on gagna la station balnéaire de Sopot le 1er mai, avant de rejoindre l'aéroport pour s'envoler après 18 heures en direction de Bordeaux, via Amsterdam.
DANSE AVEC NICOLAS (Mikolaj Zyrnow)
Arriving in Gdansk on the evening of April 26, the final-year students (BFI and German Studies) participating in the accredited Polish Spring 2026 mobility program visited the neighborhood of their hotel in Gdansk on the morning of Monday, April 27. The sixteen participating students and their teachers, Mr. Vanderplancke and Mr. Puyjalon, were then joined by their counterparts from the Kwidzyn high school to visit Westerplatte, the site where the Second World War began, before noon.
It was a very full first day, as after a typical meal together in a downtown restaurant (the discovery of which was facilitated by presentations given by the Kwidzyn students), the afternoon was devoted to a visit to the Solidarity Center. Tuesday the 28th's agenda was dominated by socialization workshops and integration into the partner high school. However, cultural enrichment was not neglected (quite the contrary, the students and their teachers undertook a transnational visit to Kwidzyn Cathedral). Educational workshops (a continuation of the initial work begun the previous day) were held on Wednesday the 29th, but above all, an "evening" included games and playful collaborations (cooking, meals, quizzes, and dancing – which was a fitting coincidence, as the 29th was International Dance Day).
The study of the history of the Holocaust and the Second World War was the focus of activities on Thursday, April 30th (visits to the Stutthof concentration camp and the Gdansk Museum dedicated to the conflict).
To further explore resilience and conclude the exchange with a more touristic experience, the group traveled to the seaside resort of Sopot on May 1st, before heading to the airport for a flight after 6 p.m. to Bordeaux, via Amsterdam.
