The first project meeting took place in Warsaw from 20th to 26th of November. It was a week packed with many different activities connected to our project's topic of mobility.

As a start, we presented the first results of the surveys made in all partner schools and found out something about Warsaw's troubled history during the last war. Furthermore, the participants got to know how FRONTEX, the European Border Control Agency, works and in which fields the Polish Border Guards act. Two officers presented their job and explained the different areas connected to their duties. A focus of the meeting was on the fate of European Jews. That's why the group visited the POLIN museum to find out about why Jews came to Poland in the Middle Ages and also why there are hardly any left today. The same topic was central to the following visit at the Jewish Cultural Centre in the heart of Warsaw, where among other things, they archive material from the Warsaw ghetto.

Also in Lodz, a city roughly 150 kilometres from Warsaw, the group dealt with the ghetto visiting the Radegast station memorial site. There deported Jews arrived at "Litzmannstadt", the then German name of Lodz, and from there they were brought to the extermination camps towards the end of World War II. Lodz, however, is also famous for its rapid development during the industrialisation making the place one of the centres of European textile industry and also turning the city into a rich place preserved until today because it didn't suffer much during the war. To find out more the Palace of the Posnanski famliy and later on the remains of the huge factory, now a shopping mall, were visited. 

To finish off one day was devoted to designing different kinds of results like interviews or dynamic maps to work towards the final European Mobility Day at the end of the project.
