This week took a turn I did not plan for. The school administration asked me to organise an extra session about studying abroad, because students kept asking about it on top of the Baltic content during my lessons. It felt like a natural extension of the project, so I put something together. On the Baltic side, I had a meeting with the Race for the Baltic foundation to discuss my lessons and materials. They pointed me towards a Swedish organisation called VOTO, which runs an ocean literacy programme for schools called HIS Play. It turns out they have been doing something very similar to what I built here, but in Sweden, and they are looking for a partner in Poland to help bring it into Polish schools. I'm preparing to reach out to them. It is strange and exciting to realise that a project I started as a six-week placement might connect to something bigger than I expected.

With one week left in my LiA project, things started connecting in ways I did not plan for.
