Przyjma is a small village with no record of Jewish settlement. Despite this fact, school authorities wanted their students to take part in the School of Dialogue workshops and project. Participants, recruited from grades six through eight, organized a Jewish Culture Day in the school, during which they presented their renditions of poems and songs written by Jewish authors and organized a game for other students. Audience participants had to complete tasks in the form of boardgames, puzzles, crosswords and online games that introduced them to basic terms related to Judaism and Jewish traditions.
Project participants also screened their film on Jewish heritage sites in towns around Przyjma (in Golina, among others). And they treated the preschool group in attendance to Hanukkah doughnuts, explaining the significance of the holiday (and the sweet). All in all, over 100 participants attended the school’s Jewish Culture Day, including students, parents, teachers as well as the mayor of Golina. A local Jewish culture enthusiast supported the students in their project work.
