EDITORIAL

Ten Nations. Four Issues. Two years.

And one nal summer camp in Poland... Beginning with the aim of improving our English knowledgewe nally ended up with many individual impressions andnew friends from all over the world.Different ideas from different countries with differentcultures melted into one multicultural magazine whichreached many people in our schools and helped to overcomesome old prejudices. The highlight of our cooperation took place in May 2010 in Jastrzebia Gora, a beautilful place at the Baltic Sea. Although it was pretty cloudy and cold, we had much fundoing activities such as riding a speedboat, visiting Gdansk,Malbork and the participating school in Wejherowo.During the entertaining group activities in the evenings, wecould hear the noise of the ice breaking between us. :o) Without puking we survived kissing a sh and drinking disgusting tomatoe sauce, or on another occasion, welearned a traditional Japanese dance. After a few days with our new friends we all went homewith a suitcase full of good memories.If you ask us:

YES, we nally got the European feeling!

Morality, ethics, social and environmental problems, future...It´s quite difcult to speak about them without being

depressed. On the other hand – the young show us they are

aware of the problems and are trying to solve them.

Adults sometimes say that teenagers are interested

only in consumption and fashion. Is this true? Fortunately,not. Fashion is the way to express their feelings, attitudes,individualities (that´s why we refuse wearing school uniforms),but adults are often the same. Let´s try not just criticize

teenagers but let´s try to give them opportunity to make

something useful. Teenagers can be very imaginative. Most ofthem are aware of the problems of today and are trying to saveour planet. They can be very sensitive to any kind of unjustice.In this issue of our magazine we will have thepossibility to learn more about the responsibility of the youngfor the future. The more responsible they are today the betterfuture is coming.

Have a nice reading and meet the opinion, optimism

and sometimes humour of the young about the serious themes.

Morálka, etika, sociálne a enviromentálne problémy, budúcnosť..Je dosť ťažké o nich hovoriť bez pocitu depresie. Na druhej strane– mladí nám ukazujú, že sú si vedomí problémov a pokúšajú saich riešiť.My (dospelí) niekedy hovoríme, že ich (tínedžerov)zaujíma len konzum a móda.Je to pravda? Našťastie nie. Módaje spôsob vyjadrenia ich pocitov, postojov, individualít (čo jeaj hlavný dôvod odmietania školských uniforiem), ale aby smeboli úprimní, my dospelí sme často podobní.Pokúsme nielenkritizovať ale aj dať im príležitosť urobiť niečo užitočné. Možnobudeme prekvapení akí tvoriví tínedžeri vedia byť.Väčšinaz nich si uvedomuje problémy dneška a snažia sa zachrániťnašu „modrú planétu“.Vedia byť veľmi citliví voči akejkoľvek

nespravodlivosti..

V tomto čísle nášho časopisu budeme mať možnosťdozvedieť sa viac o zodpovednosti mladých za budúcnosť.Čím súdnes zodpovednejší, tým lepšia budúcnosť nás čaká (čoskoro?).Pekné čítanie a zoznámte sa s názormi, optimizmom aniekedy aj humorom mladých na tak vážne témy.
