EXPERIENCE REPORT: FROM THE SISAL REGION OF BAHIA TO EASTERN EUROPE - INTERCONNECTING SCHOOLS

Abstract

The present work aims to narrate an experience of cultural and linguistic exchange, which began at Colégio Ação, in the city of Santaluz, Bahia, Brazil, in the 6th grade class of Elementary School Final Grades, during the year 2023 and ended at the N26 Andrzej Struga Primary School, in Krakow, Poland this year. To this end, action research was used so that the experiences that are shared here could be encompassed, since this methodology is based on the principle of learning by doing and also allows for collective self-reflection. Therefore, one of the actions of the Cultural and Linguistic Exchange Project was that Brazilian students had the opportunity for cultural exchange through the English language with students from the N26 Andrzej Struga Primary School, in Krakow, Poland. In addition, as an English language teacher at the Brazilian school and a participant in the project, I had the opportunity to travel to the old continent, go to Eastern Europe to the city of Krakow, teach and participate in school events during the week of Polish Christmas.
