Monday 19th February
On Monday morning, the School Choir of the I.E.S. Aljada School welcomed the students and teachers with a performance. After that, the Principal Ana Mula welcomed us all. In the morning, the exchange students attended some lessons with their host students. In the meantime, the teachers had their project meeting on the follow-up meeting in Augsburg in June. We discussed that we would continue working on the theme of 1968 and its effects on contemporary and future education. The focus will be on future education and future skills. Reminiscence about the possibilities of Democratic Learning.
The Principal and some of the teachers gave us a tour around the school. It became clear that the school is not only used by students aged 11 to 18, but also by adults in the late afternoon and evening. The importance of inclusion is shown in the OPEN CLASSROOM programme.
Classrooms ranged from theory to technology and mechanics, like car repairs and painting cars.
In the late afternoon, focusing in intercultural learning, all the exchange-schools gave their presentations on the student revolts in 1968 in a workshop led by Peter Bommas. Each group had examined the impact of the revolts in their country or their region. Altogether this gave an interesting overview of the changes in Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Cornwall.
Film “Un franco 14 pesetas”, a sentimental true story of Spanish emigration to Switzerland.
