CZ: Druhé pokračování projektu Erasmus+ se zkráceným a pracovním názvem “Innovative Citizens”. V únoru 2019 jsme se vypravili na Sicílii do partnerské školy Instituto IPSSAR Paolo Borselino Palermo. Nejprve, v úterý, jsme navštívili Astronomický park v Isnelu a turistické centrum Cefalú, které je velice známé jako turistické centrum oblasti Tyrhénského moře. Byli jsme také přivítáni starostou města a také pozváni na velmi dobrý oběd ve škole, přeci jen je to hotelová škola. Ve středu jsme se vydali do botanické zahrady v Palermu, jedné z nejstarších v Evropě, se stovkami velmi starých a krásných stromů. Druhá část dne pak směřovala do královského národního parku “Favorita”. Navečer jsme pak pracovali ve škole na studentských projektech a učitelé měli projektovou diskuzi a meeting. Ve čtvrtek jsme se všichni setkali na Piazza Politeama v historickém centru Palerma, kde jsme navštívili místní úžasnou katedrálu. Poté jsme se setkali se starostou Palerma, který vedl krátkou diskuzi o místních poměrech. Následně jsme vyrazili do školy, kde každá skupina měla za úkol představit přírodní předpoklady dané země a daného regionu. Bylo to velmi poučné! A nakonec, v pátek, jsme vyrazili do historického města Monreale, které je známé pro své úžasné mozaiky. Užili jsme si i místní pláž a moře! Byl však čas se rozloučit a my se již těšíme na duben, kdy pojedeme do německé Kostnice. Tak na viděnou!

After a presentation of the Astronomic Park we went to Cefalú, which is a popular tourist resort on Sicily‘s northern coast, beside the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a sandy beach and an appealing old town. There we had a little trip around the city – we saw the old historic centre, including the amazing Norman cathedral. After sightseeing we were welcome by Major of Cefalú. After that we were invited for lunch at Cefalú School. In the evening everybody went back home with their host families. The next day in the morning we visited the Botanical garden in Palermo, which is one of the largest in Europe. We were allowed to taste fresh citrus fruits such as mandarins and pomelos. There were lots of huge and very old trees. After that we had lunch in a typical bar with Sicilian cuisine. The second part of the trip was a visit to Royal Natural Park “Favorita”, where we were accompanied by the local police on horses. In this park there was an incredible Chinese palace, which we visited at the end of our tour.
