COMING BACK FROM WALES

In October 2018 we had our Erasmus+ meeting in Wales. We have two different partner schools from Wales: Ysgol Dyffrun Taf and Ysgol y Strade. The schools are about 40 kilometers away from each other. The students were staying in host families in these two cities and the teachers were staying in the city of Carmarthen that is located in the middle. The participating students from our school were Paula, Lorena, Antonio and Rafa from 2nd year of Bachillerato  and teachers Marta Fernández and Ana Carmona.

We started our trip early on Saturday morning and landed in Málaga. We had to wait in Málaga for a time until our flight to Bristol. When we arrived in Bristol,it was freezing cold. Then, a bus took us to the meeting point where the Welsh families would be picking up our students.


We spent the first two days at Dyffrun Taf School. First in the program we had the videos that every team had made about the equality issues in their cities or countries. We also heard songs performed by a talented choir and lectures for example about Growth Mindset and a speech by Keith Towler, Chair of United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child for Wales. Furthermore, the students had an art workshop where they created their own souvenirs and after that we visited the County Hall of Carmarthen together. A journalist from a local newspaper even wrote an article about our visit.

INTERNATIONAL MEETING IN WALES


From the 8th to the 14th of October, a group of 4 students ( Paula Martín, Lorena Salas, Antonio Expósito y Rafael Aceña) and two teachers ( Marta Fernández and Ana Carmona) will be travelling to Wales to participate in the second formative activity programmed in our project. This time we will be visiting Carmarthen and Llanelli region, a beautiful green Welsh rural area next to the jagged coastline. Among the educative activities, we will  learn Welsh and folk dancing, we will listen topopular Welsh singing, visit St. David´s cathederal in Camarthen, walk around Swansea and Bristol and get to know deeper their culture, educative system , way of living and thinking and traditions ( singing, dancing rugby and gastronomy).

Students will stay with their host families with whom they have already started to communicate. We are sure this journey will be an enriching experience for the 6 of us and will make us improve our skills in English and widen our knowledg about this country´s culture  and incredibly varied , wild and well-kept Nature.
