On December 11, 2019, the second edition of the project “We read and illustrate the work of Adam Mickiewicz” took place. Last year, we read Pan Tadeusz to celebrate the birthday of our bard, and at the same time to emphasize that reading is important, and the fashion for reading is eternal. This celebration inspired us to include it in the tradition of the annual Mickiewicz celebrations.
This edition is Ballads and romanse read and illustrated by the students of our high school.
