May 2022 . Apart from all the activities of the Career Fair that our school organised from the 9th to the 13th of May, our school also included cultural visits and leisure activities to make the whole experience an unforgettable international experience for our student guests and teachers. These included a tour around our town, Manresa, a visit to Montserrat, a Photo Challange in Barcelona and a wonderful farewell party to say goodbye to our friends as well as to the project, as our mobility has been the last one in this project.

March 2022 - From the 20th to the 26th of March, one of the mobilities of the program took place in the Italian city of Bari where students shared activities related to the skills and abilities needed to undertake and start innovative business projects that add value to the town or region where they live.

FEDAC Manresa students talked about the process of working with the canvas methodology while showing 4 examples of the businesses the teams created in class during the last few weeks.

Apart from visiting the city of Bari, students have also had the opportunity to visit other places of great heritage interest in the Puglia region such as Alberobello, Lecce and Polignano a Mare.

March 2022. During the last few weeks we have been learning about the Canvas Business Model as an entrepreneurship method to create your own businesses. We started with a Brainstorming session to figure out what businesses could be good for our town and region. Then we started the canvas fousing on the Value Proposition of our products or services and we worked on the type of cutomers we were targeting and the relationship we wanted to have with them. We also looked into the key activities our businesses would do and what were the resources we needed to perform the key activities. Later we analysed the financial aspect of our businesses looking at the costs we would have and the way we would generate revenue. Finally, we also looked into the partners we needed to deliver our product and service with success.

When the canva was finished, we decided to promote our businesses with an advertising campaign desiging a logo, a poster and a video commercial.

February 2022 - The mobility in Portugal has been great! We have had the opportunity to meet a lot of new people and have created a lot of new memories for the future.

We visited Matosinhos after getting to know each other through fun ice breaking activities. We presented the activities we had prepared in class to share them with the other partners on the topic of Personal Career Development. We also participated in a game to find out cool things about Matosinhos. On Wednesday we spent the morning at the beach surfing and playing beach games. We had a great time. We also learned a lot from an expert in personal Marketing, who gave a very engaging talk about the topic. Finally, we spent the last day in Oporto enjoying its rich history and heritage. At the end of the day, we said goodbye to our friends in a Farewell dinner.

January 2022 - Before going to the mobility in Portugal, we have undertaken many activities to explore personal career development with the aim to explain them and share them in Portugal. We have learned how to do a personal SWOT analysis, we have also learned mindfulness techniques to deal with stress. Time management was also an important part of our activities as we played games to learn how to manage our time better. Finally, we explore how verbal and non verbal communication has a very important role in our development. We made a digital CV and simulated job interviews to later analyse body language and speech.

December 2021. Fortunately, FEDAC Manresa school has been able to take part in the Mobility in North Macedonia this December. The topic of this mobility was “Design Thinking”. Students in FEDAC Manresa worked hard to understand and test different design thinking techniques with the goal to share their learning with that of the other participants in the Mobility. They filmed a video with the activities with the aim to share it with the other partners in Macedonia. With this article you can see the video on Design Thinking presented by the students, as well as a video summary of the entire mobility in North Macedonia.

October 2021: To learn about jobs of the past, the present and the future, and considering that we could only take part in the Romania’s Mobility online, we’ve decided to organise activities to complement the video conferences with our partners by organising a talk with a board game designer, who told us all about his creative job. We’ve also visited a company that creates VR content, something that we will use more and more in the future and that has captivated the students’ attention.
