Description:

From the 11th to the 16th of March, 2014, we celebrated a Comenius meeting in our

school, IES Pablo Neruda in Castilleja de la Cuesta, as scheduled in the Euroschool -

united education in diversity, Comenius Project 2013-2015, http: //

www.skola.sundsvall.se/euroschool/.

Six Polish, five Swedish, and six German students, along with their teachers, stayed with

us for the week, with the foreign students being hosted by some of our pupils and their

families, as happens when our students travel to other centres too. The visitors were

from Sundsvalls Skola kommun of Sweden, Gymnazium Jana Pawla II de Sobkow, Poland

and Dominikus-Zimmermann-Realschule de Gnzburg, Germany.

We had a small speech

by our headmaster.

We worked on Learning Environments of education: circumstances where the process of

educational learning takes place, aspects and features that can result directly and

indirectly from it, and can condition and or determine the way it is developped, and

how we can improve the efficiency of this process.

During three mornings,

different groups form each

school designed mood boards

to explain the conditions and

facilities present in their

schools, how they learn, the

way their teachers teach and

how they feel they are taught.

We also discussed several possibilities for improvement. At the end a common

moodboard was produced to show the aspects found to be better learning and teaching

practices.

All the activities were prepared, planned and developed in English, and this language was

also used for all the communication.

The project certainly improved the communicative competency of students and teachers

in English.

Students and families enjoyed the stay very much, and found that sharing this time

together was an unforgettable experience for all of them, as they expressed to us.

We had our farewell party and enjoyed plent of Spanish typical foods and joy.

On the final day of the meeting we visited the Cathedral of Seville, the Mosque of

Cordoba.

We want to be grateful to all for the attitude, disposition and commitment showed.

It has been a pleasure for us to work with you all and you have made this Project Meeting

real.
