  1. I consider this project to be very helpful for every member of it because of gaining useful skills about blogging and so on. I have attended a journalist training which was very informative and interesting. I was pleased to talk with Mr. Oleg, he is such a great specialist in the area of journalism and very kind person. During this time we have discussed a plenty of themes and discovered the truth about journalism. It is more exciting than I expected. In conclusion we have made a few exercises which helped us to express our thoughts and decide which themes definitely interest us. This training helped me with developing skills which I will use in my future. So, I’m very thankful to Mr. Oleg and the organizers of this program.

  2. I recently visited the first meeting of School for E-Twinning Plus Media Centre Reporters and it was just amazing. The great journalist Mr. Oleg gave us a lesson about the elements of journalism. I discovered a lot of new stuff, met new people. We played different games for developing our oratory and language skills. I got only positive emotions. It was a very useful lecture for me and I would love to visit this school more.

  3. My task as the reporter of E-Twining Plus Media Center was to interview the director of the Ostrog Academy Museum on what facilities for studies the students of the academy have. I was impressed by the sincerity guide. The Academy imbued the spirit of love and harmony. It was very interesting for me to visit the church, which situated between the main educational cases. It is free for visiting students in any time. Also there are a lot of exhibitions of early printed books, modern art sculptures and pictures. Especially I like the library and the park of the Academy. Here students can relaxing after the hard work. The guide tell me about interesting custom. Every year students dressed as a beers, the rector as a beekeeper and celebrate the birthday of academy together.
    I like the academy very much and I hope to study here in future.

  4. On Sunday I visited a wonderful city Dubno. I saw a lot of amazing sights which impressed me. After some excursions I decided to go to the restaurant. This place is situated near the Dubno castle so the interior was rather unusual and was made as an ancient castle. It’s a pity but I did not have an opportunity to have a dinner because waiters were very busy preparing for the banquet. Then I decided to go another cafe hoping that there will be able to dine. Speaking about good sides of this place I’d like to mention that It’s have an amazing view on the river but it was a great disappointment for me when I heard that in this café didn’t prepare first courses on weekends. At last I have found a small café on the outskirts of the Dubno. I was extremely happy when I noticed the proper attitude to me. Speaking about the interior of this place I’d like to say that it is pretty. There are a lot of pictures made from puzzles and pictures made like car number plates. It is very unusual. I can’t find any bad sides of this place and it was a great pleasure for me to drink a cup of tea there.
    But despite of all disadvantages of the cafes and restaurants in Dubno you will find them rather interesting.

  5. I’m really happy to be a reporter of E-Twinning Media Center. My main task given by the trainer after the workshop was to see the greatest architectural monuments in Ostrog and analize the possibility for the tourists to visit the Ostrog castle and Tower. They were very beautiful, exciting and brought me only positive impressions. I learned a lot of interesting things of the history of city and I’m sure that a lot of information that I learned will help me in my learning. I was able to witness many things which in the past belonged to the Princes of Ostrog. Also I was impressed by early printed books. To see this incredible beauty and learn many things about it helped me educated guides. They were interesting and informative, far from being boring. I liked it very much and hope that in the feature I'll get the chance to visit it again.

  6. On Sunday I visited a historical place Dubno. To see the historical places was my reporter`s task. I also intended to analyze to what level the historical site is ready to serve tourists. I saw some places of interest but the most remarkable for me was Dubno Castle. It`s a wonderful place for tourists. It`s a pity but I didn`t have an excursion inside the castle. I just had a sightseeing excursion around the court and a personal excursion to the Museum of Torture and Punishment.
    Speaking about advantages of my visit to Dubno I can say that the views were amazing, the territory and the buildings were impressive, the overlook of museum was exciting and I made a lot of photos. But as everything in this world my visit to Dubno has it`s bad side. The staff in this castle isn`t good at all. It`s lazy and unfriendly. People who work there didn`t recommend me any excursions they were just sitting on the bench and told me to read the price list. So I can say that it a bit disappointed me.
    In conclusion I must say that despite poor service I`m satisfied with the trip in all and strongly recommend everybody to visit Dubno Castle. Maybe you`ll have better luck than me and I hope that the service of Dubno castle will improve their mistakes.

We are grateful to the British Council for the support of the project due to which the students and the teachers from our school enjoyed the visit of the partners from Lubny. It was really great!!! I am sure E-Twinning Plus will be even more fun from now on.
