2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.
During work on the project learners had to get in touch with lot of people and institutions personally, via mail or phone. Everyone was very interested in our website, they willingly shared information, approved interviews or publication of photos.
3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?
We are convicted that most citizens doesn’t know in how culturally attractive region they are living in. A lot of things is going on here. Only while working on our previous CyberFair project have we noticed multitude of artistic events which were great material for our next website. That is why we started our work on this project back in the Spring of 2006 during Days of Bedzin. Community of our school was very excited about our venture, especially those, who take active part in cultural life of our city. The plan of action has been worked out in a blink of an eye. We hope that thanks to this website citizens of Bedzin appreciate rich variety of events offered by this city.
