As part of the European Regional Development Fund and with state-budget funding, supported by the Neisse Euroregion, a programme for preschool children is being implemented. The partner of the Bolesławiec kindergarten is the Czech kindergarten Materska Skola Studanka from Jablonne v Podjestedi.
The project involves 84 children and 6 teachers from Poland, as well as 75 children and 6 teachers from the Czech Republic. Project duration: January–November 2014. The “Discovering Talents Across Borders” project continues cooperation with a partner city in the Czech Republic in the field of educational activities for preschool children.
The main elements of further cooperation will be the exchange of teachers’ professional experiences, the development of friendships already established, overcoming language barriers, and joint work on creating educational situations that stimulate children’s creativity in accordance with each preschool child’s individual abilities, needs and interests.
The project will be implemented by organising joint integration meetings for Polish and Czech children on both sides of the border. On 27 March 2014, the first meeting of children and teachers from Poland and the Czech Republic took place at Municipal Kindergarten No. 5 in Bolesławiec under the title “A Meeting with the Theatre”. The children had the opportunity to watch the “Enchanted Forest” performance by the “Pinocchio” Puppet Theatre from Nowy Sącz, made their own puppet and took part in an art competition.
