POLISH HONOUR CODE OF COMENIUS KNIGHTS

In October 2011 pupils during classes of Comenius Club studied medieval honour code of Knights and discussed it with a teacher. Then they created their own honour codes in small groups.

They presented their work and decided which of lines

are the best and should be included into

POLISH HONOUR CODE OF COMENIUS KNIGHTS.

We made a big poster with it and put it into our comenius corner. Children really liked the activity and learnt a lot about honour code of medieval knights.

We did our honour code and it is on the blog. It was written on a scroll as yours. I can't understand the message, but and I'm sure that they are also similar in the meaning.

yes, I think the meaning is the same in every country and that's the point! Pupils discovered that "we all are the same under the Europe sky" and that's the wonderful thing about this project. Thank you Spanish team for your kind words.

Welcome to the international Comenius project, "U-KNIGHT-EUROPE"

The „U-Knight-Europe”project is undertaken with the broad objective of promoting European citizenship through the emphasis on historical and cultural heritage. Its main aim could be expressed by the phrase: multi-cultural education and the unification of different cultures.

The underlying idea of this international partnership of 9 countries (Poland, Netherlands, Finland, England, France, Portugal, Cyprus,Italy and Spain) is to work on raising the students' cultural awareness and to develop their understanding of the needs of others in their communities. This will be achieved through the study of knight heroes in the participating nations’ histories. The primary goals are to extend pupils' knowledge of knights from Europe by discovering their style of living, their charter, their values and aims in order to resurrect a “Knight Spirit” in young people. We intend to present an alternative way of living to our pupils and we will encourage them to follow it by becoming a contemporary Knight of Europe with the motto and mission traced from the medieval knights’ code: "Protect the weak, defenceless, helpless and fight for the general welfare of all".

We endeavour to create realistic and hands-on experiences (for example the becoming a knight ceremony, inter-country tournaments, intra- school competitions, music and art festivals and above all - voluntary work). These opportunities will encourage great commitment from the whole school community and will provide worthwhile and exciting experiences for the students, teachers and parents. Throughout the two years this project aims to work against the unfair attitudes of racism, xenophobia and intolerance. The ultimate end-product of the schools cooperation will be the creation of a multilingual website.
