REPORT OF THE 4TH COMENIUS MEETING

Barcelona 20 September to 4 October, 2013
Countries: Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Turkey and Spain.

Report

The fourth meeting of the project “The European teenagers between fast food and culinary tradition” was celebrated in Barcelona from September 20th to October 4th . Five of the six foreign delegations represented by 24 teachers and 30 students worked on the part of the food pyramid assigned to each country. We regret to say that the Greek delegation couldn’t come because of internal political problems.  The results of our investigation were commented and compared by all the Comenius partners and all the materials, photos, videos and activities were published in the Blog. English was the language used in all the activities and visits, so it meant a positive full immersion for both the teachers and the students.

 In order to fulfil all our aims established in the basis, we organised different visits to “La Pedrera, Park Güell, the Cathedral, Gothic district, Santa María del Mar, Boqueria market, etc. As well as technical visits to:”Cavas Codorniu, Simó and Coll chocolate factory, CEMFO catering school, etc. and lunches and dinners for disseminating/ representing our traditional cuisine.  The final dinner was in one of the oldest and most typical Catalan restaurants where the partners could appreciate the typical Catalan cuisine.

It was a very interesting and productive experience for teachers, students and the school community because we were enriched with new skills and knowledge. The students could experience how Catalan families live since they stayed with them. Additionallu, they had the opportunity to taste our typical cuisine because the families tried to prepare different dishes every day. We were able to disseminate the project thanks to the collaboration of our Town Hall and local TV:TV l’Hospitalet  filmed the welcome presentation in the Town Hall and interviewed the students asking them about their implication in and their evaluation of the Comenius project.
The students   worked with students from other countries, learnt new things and could compare different habits and observe the differences and similarities. All students were very happy to present their school and tasks and get involved in the workshops prepared for them.

We want to point out the friendly atmosphere and cooperation of the group:  this project has confirmed an important aim of Comenius Project: cooperation between European students and teachers.

Detailed programme

Monday

We met our partners at school at 8.30 and after the welcome event by the headmaster, we had a look at the facilities and classrooms.
Then we went to Barcelona by train.  When we arrived in Passeig de Gràcia, Pilar our teacher explained to us the history of the modernist buildings “Casa Batlló” and “Casa Amatller”, whose explanations had been prepared by the Comenius students.  After we had a guided visit to la Pedrera.  We had a good view of the city from the roof.
We had lunch in Park Güell and which we visited after lunch.  The visit finished at 5.30.  Then the partners had time to visit “Sagrada Família” or other places

Tuesday

 
All the Comenius activities were based on the topic “Healthy food”, so in order to be original, we prepared two amazing visits: one to the Codorniu winery and the other one to the chocolate factory Simon Coll, both in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia.  First, we saw the modernist building designed by the famous Catalan architect Puig I Cadafalch .  Our partners discovered the “cava” sparkling wine elaboration and had the chance to taste it. 
Then we saw all the modernist buildings in the village and finished the day visiting the Simon Coll chocolate factory.  Delicious!!!! Chocolate is healthy, so our tip is: if you eat a daily portion of chocolate, you will feel better and less stressed.

Wednesday

Today the students from different countries have presented their work in Powerpoints or films.  All of them have worked very hard and have achieved a lot, which is very important. You can see all the presentations in the blog and in the school web. 
Then we could taste the delicious dishes prepared by the students’ families (a Comenius cake, cookies, potato omelette, an enormous ice-cream, etc.).  Thank you, mums! 
After the delicious breakfast, we went to see the Boqueria market where the students took photos for the future project task.

As we were in the Ramblas, we visited the cathedral, Liceo theatre, Pine tree church (where the giants were kept), Santa María del Mar and our trip ended in La Barceloneta. We went to the beach and students and teachers admired the beauty of Mediterranean Sea. We tasted delicious paella, one of our traditional dish. 

Thursday

 
We began the day visiting our local Town Hall, where Mr. Lluís Esteve, (regidor d’ensenyament) the head of the education department in the Town Hall of Hospitalet made a welcome speech, explaining the importance of this kind of project for the students and the television of Hospitalet interviewed our students, asking them their opinion about the Comenius project and the places they had visited.  
At lunch time the teachers went to visit CEMFO, our local catering school, invited by our Town Hall. We have to congratulate all the cooks, waiters and staff of that school for the delicious dishes they prepared for us and thank the Town Hall for the invitation. 
Following this, we went back to school to continue working on the project.  In the afternoon the students went with their partners to buy souvenirs and some of them went to visit the Barça stadium.

Friday

 
It was the last day in the school for our partners, some of them left Barcelona that day and others stayed until Saturday.  We met in the school and while the teachers were planning the activities for the next meeting in Portugal, the students were playing a football match organised by our PE teacher. At 10.30 we met in the gym and after finishing the powepoint presentations, we gave them the Diplomas and the event finished with an amazing Twirling show organised by 4 students: Katy Narvaez, Isabel Serrano, Alba López and a very young and future Comenius student Paula López. 

Congratulations!!

Saturday

At 8.00 we met at Barcelona airport to say goodbye to our Italian partners.  It was a sad day for everybody, because after spending a wonderful week with them, our students didn’t want them to leave.  And the same thing happened at 12.00, with the Turkish team departure. The students began to cry, especially the girls and  they promised to keep in touch mailing or by facebook. That’s love at the age of sixteen!.  

To sum up, We can say that it has been an unforgettable experience for everybody.

Thank you Comenius organization for giving us this opportunity.
