Impact of our work in our local community (school, neighborhood, district).

Once we decided to take part in the contest, the entire team started working with great enthusiasm.

We started discussions and contacts with several members of the local community. First, inquiries were made to the Board of the museum to secure the necessary permission to use printed material and shoot videos and photos of the museum. As soon as we let them know the topic of our project, we encountered a positive attitude and the museum authorities were willing to help us. We were given permit to proceed and began our visits to the Folk Museum to gather material.

We visited the town library, the paper holder, and the mansions. We discussed the topic of our project and collected information. Teachers and elderly members of our local community, full of memories and knowledge talked about the local history, the history of the museum, the history of sights and cultural events organised throughout the years.

Everyone helped willingly and encouraged us. They all experienced a "sweet" desire to help and a secret pride. They could see their children, the children of the neighbourhood or of the adjacent school, their friends, use the Internet not to play games or get into Facebook, but open a "window" to  knowledge.

Many parents, teachers and other members of our local community requested details of the contest, the use of the Internet as an educational instrument, the use of computers in education and asked to be kept informed of the course of work.
