There were many opportunities to know each other, to discuss hobbies, schools, friends and plans for the future. The young people worked in mixed groups, in which they solved puzzles, unscrambled quotes about friendship and took part in some sport competitions.

3rd day 4th October 2017
Wednesday started very early, at 7 o'clock as a trip was organised to Toruń, which is located 250 km from Warsaw. Toruń city is the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, one of the greatest Poles.
The city is located in Northern Poland, on the Vistula. In the Middle Ages Toruń was a prominent trade centre as a member of the Hanseatic League. . Toruń is the most Gothic urban complex in Poland, one of the most important and crowded tourist centres of unique value, right after Krakow the second richest of original and best preserved historical monuments city in Poland.
The whole complex of Toruń Old Quarter, of unique value, measured by world standards, consists of three historical urban sections: Old City (1233), New City (1264) and the Teutonic Knights' Castle (mid. 13th c.). All of them are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The medieval urban and architectonic complex of Toruń has preserved on the whole and constitutes a precious document of tradition and past. The more precious as it is one of the not numerous cities that hasn't been destroyed during the world war II. Toruń is also one of the most important science and cultural centres in Poland with its bigest and oldest university in the North.
The students and teachers visited the city with two tourist guides and later took part in the gingerbread workshop. They learned there the history of the famous Toruń gingerbread craft, which had its origins in the 14th century and flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries. The most enjoyable part of the workshop was the chance to bake our own gingerbreads and taste the ones produced the bakers.

Summary of the satisfaction survey result after the meeting in Poland
The questions were mainly focused on implementation of the meeting program points and the evaluation of the experience with accommodation with the host families. A completed satisfaction survey let us know what participants think about the Sports Formula meeting in Poland.
The survey was completed by 17 students from Croatia, Latvia, France and Italy, participating in the short- term exchange of groups of pupils during a week.
The impression of accommodation was high. Everyone paid attention to Polish hospitality and a nice reception by host families.
Selected comments given by students: people there are very welcoming; nice and polite people; very clean and hospitable.
Most of the students think that project improved their foreign communication skills and capacity of understanding a different culture.
The answers show that they acquired different competencies in many fields especially communication but also leadership in teamwork. The answer that was often chosen is the one in which a respondent student place special attention on the acquiring of new knowledge as valuable
competence.

They believe that interesting points of the meeting plan were the guided tour of the Warsaw Old Town and a trip to Torun with the Gingerbread Museum workshop.
As shown in the pie chart, 53,3% of respondents say that the tour of the Warsaw Old Town was excellent.
A trip to Torun and workshop in the Gingerbread Museum where students took part in an interactive show through which they were taught how to make a traditional gingerbread was an excellent point of the meeting plan for 73.3% of
students. The most satisfaction activity was visiting the Copernicus Science Center. The pie chart below shows that 86.7% of students consider learning through play as a valuable activity.
12
In the end, the students were asked what made the meeting succeed and what should be done better. Their comments were basically focused on the cold weather and too long trips with guides. The ease of communication is a success. Great cooperation and great host families also contributed to the success of the meeting.
Each student thinks that the meeting has enriched them with valuable skills.
