Project Week
I have been accepted to go to the Krakow-Auschwitz Project March 2013. Last year I wasn’t sure whether to sign up for this project, as I was quite homesick at this time last year and didn’t want to become more upset on going to such a project. However, I know if I don’t go now I will lose the opportunity. My History teacher is amazing and has prepared an amazing five days for us. I’ll be going with Shana and Isabelle (two of my closest friends at AC), and half a dozen other friends- and then a chance to get to know more people! There are 20 of us on the trip, 41 signed down – I am very lucky!
Programme: after an early morning flight from Bristol airport to Krakow, we will settle in the hostel, have lunch and go for a guided walk of the town centre to learn about Medieval Krakow. On the second day we will spend 3-4 hours in Kazimierz, the Jewish district of the town and later visit Schindler’s factory, which is a museum now (throughout the day we will be able to recognise numerous places from the film Schindler’s List). On the third day we will visit Auschwitz- Birkenau concentration camp. The fourth day will be spent visiting the Wieliczka Salt Mines (World Heritage). On the last day there is time to do some shopping or just relax.
