Vedruna Sant Josep Navàs hosts an Erasmus+ week focused on art, respect and European collaboration
Embedded Files
From 10 to 14 November, Sant Josep School in Navàs welcomed students and teachers from Italy (Isernia and Bòvio) and the Azores as part of the Erasmus+ project Art Unites Us: Shaping Europe with Artificial Intelligence. This mobility placed special emphasis on artistic expression and the European value of respect — the core themes guiding the project.
Throughout the week, participants engaged in cultural and creative activities that encouraged cooperation, friendship and meaningful international learning. The highlight of the programme was the creation of a collaborative mural on one of the school’s playground walls: a shared artistic piece symbolising unity among countries and their common commitment to European values.
Visiting groups explored the town, took part in interdisciplinary workshops and enjoyed outdoor activities, while local families provided a warm and highly appreciated welcome. The week concluded with a joint trip to Barcelona, strengthening the bonds formed and closing a truly enriching experience for everyone involved.
The workshop included plenary sessions, round tables, and inspiring case studies, offering valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and build future partnerships with European schools.
We return enriched by new perspectives and motivated to continue shaping stronger schools through collaboration and European values

WE ARE NOW BLUE SCHOOL!
WE ARE NOW BLUE SCHOOL!
Estem molt contents d’anunciar que la nostra escola ha rebut el distintiu de European Blue School gràcies al projecte Wat@rt, un projecte Erasmus+ que vam dur a terme durant el curs passat juntament amb escoles d’Irlanda i Portugal.
Aquest projecte interdisciplinari va girar entorn del tema de l’aigua, i va permetre a l’alumnat explorar la seva importància des de diferents perspectives: artística, científica i mediambiental. A través de diverses activitats creatives i col·laboratives, vam reflexionar sobre el valor de l’aigua i la necessitat de protegir els nostres ecosistemes aquàtics.
El distintiu European Blue School ens l’ha atorgat la EU4Ocean Coalition, una iniciativa de la Unió Europea que promou l’educació oceànica i el compromís amb la sostenibilitat dels mars i oceans. Aquesta distinció reconeix els centres educatius que connecten el seu alumnat amb el món marí i fomenten l'acció en favor del nostre planeta blau.
Formar part d’aquesta xarxa d’escoles europees compromeses amb l’oceà és un orgull i un estímul per continuar apostant per una educació transformadora i connectada amb els reptes globals.
Seguim navegant cap a un futur més blau!
We are very proud to announce that our school has been awarded the European Blue School label thanks to the Wat@rt project, an Erasmus+ initiative we carried out last school year in collaboration with schools from Ireland and Portugal.
This interdisciplinary project focused on the theme of water, allowing students to explore its importance from artistic, scientific, and environmental perspectives. Through a variety of creative and collaborative activities, we reflected on the value of water and the need to protect our aquatic ecosystems.
The European Blue School label is awarded by the EU4Ocean Coalition, a European Union initiative that promotes ocean literacy and encourages engagement with marine sustainability. This recognition is given to schools that connect their students with the ocean and inspire action for our blue planet.
Being part of this network of European schools committed to the ocean is an honour and a motivation to keep working towards a more sustainable and aware education.
We keep sailing towards a bluer future!

SCHOOL IN THE STREET FAIR:
disseminating ERASMUS & ETWINNING
"SCHOOL IN THE STREET FAIR"
Disseminating ERASMUS & ETWINNING to the local community. Navàs 1st march '24
The "School in the Street" fair held yesterday was a vibrant celebration of education and creativity, drawing in the entire school community alongside other inhabitants from the surrounding area. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as visitors explored the various stalls showcasing student projects and initiatives.
One standout attraction was the eTwinning and Erasmus stall, which featured a captivating art mural titled "2 Ocean Wave." Constructed from meticulously arranged pieces of plastic and paper in shades of blues and whites, this mural served as a poignant reminder to reconsider our impact on the environment. Through this artistic masterpiece, the message resonated loud and clear: it's time to rethink our relationship with the oceans and take action. What made this mural even more special was the fact that it was a collaborative effort involving all the students, highlighting the collective commitment to environmental stewardship as part of the Erasmus project "Wat@rt."
Accompanying the mural was the exhibition of the Wat@rt calendar, showcasing the culmination of students' efforts in raising awareness about environmental issues. Additionally, visitors were invited to participate in the engaging game "Guess the Word and Plant a Seed," where guessing the word correctly earned them a piece of handmade paper embedded with seeds and petals, symbolizing the potential for growth and renewal.
The stall also featured the material produced for the eTwinning project titled "The Magic Trip of a Wooden Robot Making European Friends." Among the highlights was a charming travel diary created by fifth graders, brimming with insights about their group, school, town, and country, alongside adorable handmade robots. The anticipation of sending this material to Germany added an extra layer of excitement and pride for the families involved.
As visitors explored the stall, they were greeted by towering cardboard box structures housing creative dioramas depicting fascinating animals, each accompanied by a soft toy carrying a meaningful message advocating for the protection of wildlife. The sheer creativity and passion evident in these displays left a lasting impression on all who attended, reinforcing the importance of nurturing creativity and environmental consciousness in education.
Overall, the "School in the Street" fair was a resounding success, showcasing the incredible talent and dedication of the students while fostering a sense of community and environmental responsibility among all who participated.
