Comenius meeting in Terrassa

During the visit at our Escola El Cim we presented our products which were playlets about our national stereotypes. The teachers also worked on the final report on the project. It's difficult to believe this was the last meeting in our project. 

We visited Barcelona (Sagrada Familia by Antonio Gaudi, Camp Nou with Barca's stadium), had a stroll on Las Ramblaa and ate some delicious tapas and paella.

WARSZAWA MEETING

The second meeting of this Comenius was held from 22nd March to 27th March in Warsaw, Poland. We shared the results we had previously agreed to carry out among our students.

BRIEF REPORT
At the beginning, we knew that this trip would be an amazing trip. We went to Warsaw well prepared. We were a little nervous. When we arrived, we were a little lost, the currency was different, the language a bit difficult but... everyone was fantastic. We could learn a lot of thinks: a different place in Europe, another culture, some people from France, Turkey,Poland, Germany and Romania. Also, we could practice our English and make new friends. We think it was a wonderful and special trip and we are satisfied because of this. We hope we can go back soon...!

Ideas for Combating Poverty

Poverty is a universal issue and it is increasingly worrying. It affects the whole world and our society. For this reason we should value life and know how lucky we are to have a family, a home, school, values. We have a pretty easy life.

To collaborate actively with organizations like Busquets Foundation that helps people who need it.

Maintain professional and social services offered by organizations like Fundació Busquets: housing for children without families, wardrobe, among others.

We can help alleviate the situation of the poor by making donations, both individual and at institutional level (enterprises, schools, charitable groups…). The most needed products are food, clothing, soaps and cleaning products.

Volunteering is very necessary, especially in the present world, in which people are often motivated by their economic interests. We should encourage voluntary actions in order to improve society and improve ourselves on a personal level.

To raise the awareness in society, and specifically students, about different types of poverty, its distribution, risk groups and especially that poverty also exists in developed countries. It’s also a strategy to combat it.

Promoting personal autonomy by professional training, education and also promoting personal and social abilities of people is important to eradicate it.

It is necessary to console those who need it.

The sponsorship of children is one way to help families who can afford their care for short periods.

Help homeless people to find links to new people, help them recover from the internal injuries of life and get out of this vicious circle.

To organize charitable activities such as plays, concerts, charity raffles, etc.

To eradicate poverty in underdeveloped countries we should stop exploiting people and resources,

It is very important the attitude of society, that takes a look supportive, respectful and dignified treatment to those suffering from this situation. Zoom victim-hood, guilt and contempt for these people.

The collaboration of everyone is essential to eradicate poverty.

COMENIUS PROJECT: CHALLENGES MAKING A CHANGING SOCIETY
La semaine du 7 jusqu’à le 12 de Novembre, nous sommes été en France pour participer au Projecte Comenius, avec encore 5 pays : la France, la Roumanie, l'Allemagne, la Pologne et la Turquie. Tous les pays sommes été en France pour nous réunir, pour travailler, pour nous rattacher, pour pratiquer le langue Anglaise et le langue Française, pour visiter Paris et pour comparer et discuter sur différents sujets pour observer les différences entre les pays que nous avons été là. Tous les élèves avons été chez élèves ou chez professeurs du Lycée et là nous avons parlé Français ou Anglais parce-que c'était la unique forme pour nous rattacher avec la famille.
Le premier jour tous les pays avons fait une exposition orale sur notre pays et nous avons visité Châlons en champagne. Le deuxième jour nous avons visité le vignoble Joseph Perrier et l‘après-midi chaque pays avons fait un poster sur les crédos de notre collège. Le troisième jour nous avons pris le bus jusqu'à Paris et nous sommes restés à dormir tous dans une auberge jusqu’à le quatrième jour. Là nous avons visité la tour Eiffel, le musée Luvre, la Notre Dame ou le palais de Versailles entre d'autres choses. Il a fait un temps très mauvais, il a plu presque tous jours et il a fait beaucoup froid et vent, pardessus le jour lequel nous avons visité Versailles. L’après-midi du quatrième jour nous avons pris au retour au Châlons en champagne. Finalement le dernier jour nous avons visité Reims et l'après-midi nous avons pris l'avion pour tourner jusqu’à Barcelone.

From November 7th to 12th , three teachers of ESO and two students representing all the students of 4th of ESO of our school have been in France to participate at the Comenius Project. A project which six countries participate: Romania, Turkey, Poland, Germany, France and us.
They went to Chalôns en Champagne, a village located in the north of France, next to Paris. There, the teachers were in a hotel and all the students were in host families. This means that they had to talk in English and French too.
In the school they exposed all the works that all the students of 4th of ESO have done since September.
One day they went to Paris and another day they went to Versailles. All the members of the different countries, one night went to a youth hostel for sleeping, so they met new friends who have different culture, language...
I was really a nice experience.

Survey on Parents Working Abroad

Do our parents work abroad? What countries do they travel? What kind of job do they do?

These questions can help us to know the degree of globalisation refering to professional careers.

The World is Flat

The students of 4th ESO read the books "The World is Flat" and "Hot, Flat and Crowded" by Thomas Friedman, an internationally renowned American author, reporter, columnist of the NY Times and the recipient of three Pulitzer Prizes.
The aim these readings was to prepare students for their professional careers in a continuosly changing world. Students had the opportunity to read about what companies expect from their workers, what skills and personal qualities qualified employees need, or simply, how we have to prepare for our future.
