Gondomar

The project's second mobility took place in Portugal, more specifically in the city of Gondomar, and took place from the 13th to the 17th of February 2023. During these days, students and teachers participated in various activities, starting with a visit to the school whose guides were Portuguese students. After this moment of discovery of the school space, other activities marked the mobility, namely: the presentation of the work carried out so far within the scope of the project's sub-themes; workshops on theater, cinema, multimedia and expressions, in various school spaces; study visits to the cities of Porto, Aveiro and Gondomar; participation in classroom classes; collaborative work meetings. 

The guided tour of the city of Porto enabled contact with contemporary and modern art as students had the opportunity to see artistic objects “in loco” in the spaces of the Casa Museu de Serralves and the Casa do Cinema de Manoel de Oliveira. The trip to Aveiro focused on contact with Art Nouveau and Baroque, as students were able to visit the Aveiro Art Nouveau Museum and the Aveiro Museum, which included access to baroque churches. Still in this city, the boat trip, the outdoor class about salt and the salinas, with a workshop, and the visit to a soft egg factory (a typical Aveirense sweet) delighted everyone and contributed to the enrichment of students and the project itself. For Gondomar, there was a visit to CINDOR, a training center in the art of filigree, an art that places Gondomar at the top of the transformation of gold into unique jewelry. There were moments of sharing experiences when participating in classroom activities and work meetings that, in a decisive way, reorganized the work to be carried out by the students in the remaining time of the project and in the creation of a final product, a film, which reflects the unifying theme of the “Tracks from Past to Future” project and clearly shows the contribution of each country.

This mobility, above all, provided students with more and better knowledge about themselves and others, about the past and present and about their place in an increasingly global and globalizing world.
