Eleni's impressions from the meeting in Celacovice

I owe to refer the Czech family’s hostess. Everyone was very kind and friendly. Sunday was the free day and we spent it with the family. I had a pleasant time while I was watching the traditional dances and songs of the country.
Participating in this program I had an excited experience. I learned a lot of things but the most important thing it was the fact that I met new friends!

Impressions from the first meeting in Celacovice


Participating in COMENIUS – Our trip in Czech Republic
My school participates in the European Program, COMENIUS . The partnership project is called «Human Rights in Europe between Ideal Reality: Rights and Challenge for students in the 21st Century by means of Poetry, Arts and Music. The countries which take part in this program are the following: Czech Republic, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Poland and Germany. The first meeting took place in the Gymnasium Celakovice, the organiser school, in the Czech Republic.
Our team consisted of two teachers and three students of the second class. The teachers of each country stayed in a hotel, whereas the students accepted hospitality by students of the Celakovice Gymnasium.
The first time we visited the school was on Friday 30 September 2011. Gymnasium Celacovise is a huge building with many classes where students aged 5-16 years old study. We all gathered in a hall where one of the Czech Republic teachers welcomed us and gave us a tour to the school building. Later on students separated from the teachers in order to get to know each other and give information about their country and their school.
The program included different activities between the students which concerned the subject «Human rights». Moreover students watched films and videos, discussed and exchanged ideas through  art and music.
On Saturday morning the school organised a tour to Prague. We were all excited with the old town, the historical monuments and the architecture of the city.
The students had also the opportunity to meet each other after school. We gathered in the pub of the village, we talked about our lives, our school, our country and we promised to keep in touch after that meeting. So we do. We often talk in the facebook and learn their news.
I also want to refer to the Czech family’s hospitality. Everyone was very kind and friendly. Sunday was the free day and we spent it with the family. I had a pleasant time while I was watching the traditional dances and songs of the country.
Participating in this program I had an exciting experience. I learned a lot of things but the most important thing was the fact that I met new friends !

Impressions from our trip in Celakovice

We left Athens at 6:30 in the morning - very early for us -in September 29th.
Our final destination was Celakovice in Czech Republic, a few km away from Prague.
We were going to participate in the first Comenius meeting there.
We reached Zurich airport at 8:05 and we got the train to Zurich center. Light fog stretched out on the city but all of us were walking along the banks of the river and we enjoyed the landscape. Everything was nice...

Our visit in ETH (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule ) was the most unexpected event. The view of Zurich from the hill was super... Another one was the decoration of the Institute which impressed us very much . It was referred to the classical antiquity with the statues of Asklepios and Zeus. Especially in the cafeteria the Nike of Samothrace and the frieze of the Parthenon attracted our attention.

Invitation - Timetable

1st Project Meeting in Celakovice


The first official invitation came from Gymnázium of Čelákovice in Czech Republic to all partners to participate in the 1st Project Meeting from 29/9/2011 to 5/10/2011.


Our preparations has begun. The time is not enough. We had to rush!!!

Čelákovice is a town, situated on Labe (Elbe) river, approx. 20 km distant from capital Prague. From times immemorial, this town is known as King’s town.
From railway station, you walk along rather busy street. However, modern history added this small town big portion of dust, noise, many vehicles and also inhabitants. Total population number in quarters, such as Čelákovice, Sedlčánky, Záluží and Císařská Kuchyně - i.e. the communities which form the town, makes nearly 11 thousands people.
Since time period, when there was built in Čelákovice the first wooden fortificated seat, the town spreaded in numerous crowd of houses, and, after a war, dwelling houses, built during Communist era. Nevertheless, these building could be, from tourist point of view, more interesting in the future.

How to get to Čelákovice (by Barbora)

When you arrive at the airport and pick up your luggage, you will need to take a bus from outside the terminal. You will see the bus signs. You will need to buy a ticket for the public transport. Buy a 46 CZK ticket that is valid for 150 mins and that should be enough for all public transport within Prague, as well as the train to Celakovice. You can buy this ticket from the machine that should be at the bus stop. You will need to change some money in order to buy the tickets. So, this you can do at the airport. There are several CHANGE shops at the airport. Just choose the one with the lowest commission. Don't change all your money, just enough to buy your tickets. We can change the rest later at a better foreign exchange at Celakovice. 

On the bus, your final destination is the last stop, Dejvice. This is an underground stop. You will take this underground going in the direction of Depo Hostivar. You will get off at the 4th stop, Mustek. Here, you will transfer to the yellow line B, going in the direction of Cerny Most. You will get off after 1 stop, at Namesti Republiky. Then, just follow the signs leading you to Masarykovo Nadrazi and you will then get on the relevant train.


The train times and stops should be shown on the screen. The relevant train will go in the direction of either Milovice, Nymburk or Kolin. If you are uncertain, just ask anyone if this train goes to Celakovice. The train goes every half an hour at either 24mins past that hour or 54 mins past that hour. 


Have a nice trip!
