The photo report of the Second Edition of the Inter-district School Competition for the students of Warsaw primary and secondary schools entitled "Me, the soldier of the Uprising" - 2017
Due to the fact that a lot of people took an interest in the First Edition of the Inter-district School Competition for the students of Warsaw primary and secondary schools entitled "Me, the soldier of the Uprising" conducted last year, the 1944 Warsaw Uprising Remembrance Association decided to continue the project in the year 2017.
In March 2017 the Second Edition of the competition devoted to the Warsaw Uprising 1944 entitled "Me, the soldier of the Uprising" was announced.
The aim of the competition was to popularize the heroic behaviour of the soldiers of the Uprising, encouraging to read the insurgent memories placed in both the "Notebooks of the Remembrance of the Warsaw Uprising" and the SPPW website, to use the archives of the Warsaw Uprising Museum and to participate in the meetings "The Witnesses of the History" in the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Concurrently, the competition was to promote the high culture of a spoken word, to develop oratorical talents of a Young generation and to teach the rivalry in a friendly atmosphere.
The competition was addressed to the pupils of Warsaw schools, divided into two age groups:
- 6th class of primary schools,
- secondary schools
Each contestant had to prepare a short monodrama related to a chosen person: a soldier of one of insurgent unit, an orderly, a liaison, a young scout-soldier of the Grey Regiments, or a young scout-boy delivering the insurgent post mail. Participants were supposed to choose a role of a certain person and play a role of them (the scenario based on Real memories). The presentation was to last not more than 4-7 minutes.
The rules of the competition were prepared by Mrs. Maria Poprawa, the member of the SPPW 1944 management, the Polish philologist and historian of the 118 Primary School in Warsaw named after the Friends of Mazovia.
