18-11 TALLER ADEFO

On Thursday, November 18, we were visited by Maite Gonzalez and Alberto Conejos from ADEFO (Development Agency of the Cinco Villas Region) who helped us learn a little more about the environment where the students of the IES Reyes Católicos live.

This talk was raised within the Erasmus Plus project, "Learning by doing (learning by doing) - Shadowing other realities (sharing other realities)" which is aimed at students of the Basic Professional Training Cycle of Agrogardening and Floral Compositions and at the students of the Cycle Middle Grade of Agriculture. Said students are getting to know the reality of the environment in which they live with the idea of ​​sharing it with Portuguese and Greek students from rural institutes.

During the talk, Maite and Alberto were telling in a very entertaining way, information about the different municipalities that make up the Region, distribution of inhabitants, historical data such as Roman settlements, Romanesque architectural works, and impressive natural enclaves such as the Sierra de Santo Domingo, the Aguarales de Valpalmas or the Pozo Pígalo, in addition to presenting a list of companies from the different economic sectors.

The students had to put into practice everything they learned, drawing on several maps the location of the Villas that give their name to the Comarca de las Cinco Villas, painting the municipalities with more and less population, realizing the great difference there is.

And to finish off the day, Maite and Alberto presented the Contest "Do you want to be Cincovillés?" in which the students were challenged to see who correctly answered more questions about data given in the talk.

The day was very useful and the students learned a lot about the environment in which they live. Over the next few months we will continue to investigate much more about our reality and we will share it with all of you.
