Visita de los socios de Turquía - Visit of the partners from Turkey

Los pasados días 20 y 21 de abril tuvo lugar en Monterroso la visita de los socios de Turquía del proyecto Grundtvig "Sin Barreras", representando a su institución: El Centro de Educación de Adultos en Termal (Yalova).




La reunión comenzó el lunes con una visita al Centro Penitenciario dirigida por el director del Centro, D. Víctor Fraga Gayoso, y en la que nuestros socios accedieron a las diferentes instalaciones: enfermería, talleres, cocina, polideportivo, etc. y hasta decidieron probar la comida elaborada para los internos del Centro.

Posteriormente, continuó la jornada con la visita al Centro de Adultos de Monterroso, donde pudieron comprobar en directo la labor educativa de los maestros del Centro con los alumnos del mismo, así como conocer las instalaciones de la Escuela del Centro Penitenciario.




Finalizada la visita, nos dirigimos a la localidad de Monterroso, donde se les ofreció un almuerzo para que pudiesen degustar el producto típico de la zona: el pulpo á feira.

Tras la comida, nos desplazamos a la capital de Galicia, Santiago de Compostela, paseando por las bellas calles de la ciudad y disfrutando de una visita a su magnífica catedral.



La jornada del martes comenzó con la reunión entre los socios del proyecto, donde desde el Centro de Adultos se presentó el desarrollo de trabajo del proyecto "sin barreras" así como se debatió sobre las actividades a desarrollar en los próximos meses.

A continuación, se produjo la reunión con el grupo de trabajo del proyecto "sin barreras" del Centro de Adultos. La reunión fue muy positiva tanto para los socios como para los alumnos, ya que el intercambio de experiencias fue muy enriquecedor.



La jornada continuó con un almuerzo en la villa cercana de Guntín, para a continuación dirigirnos a la ciudad de Lugo, donde nuestros socios pudieron pasear sobre la milenaria muralla, patrimonio de la humanidad, construida por los romanos y que rodea la ciudad de Lugo.



Queremos, finalmente, agradecer a nuestros socios de Turquía por su visita, su interés y su participación, así como a todos los que colaboraron en estas dos intensas jornadas del proyecto Grundtvig "sin barreras".

Eurovision Song Contest; Norway

The winner from Norway for the Eurovision Song Contest will give you a hint about Norwegian culture (music and dance).
Click here to see for yourself. Enjoy!

"This is Norway"

Before the Eastern break, some of our participants performed clips from different themes about Norway. Amongst the audience was (from the left) the advicor in school matters for Kongsberg, our town, the head of our commune, a politician and the school's principal.

Our pupils had prepared a computer show based on new programs they had learned. The program allowed them to practice their Norwegian in many ways: They had to find adequate information on the interent, through interviews, books etc. This information were put together as a slide show before they put text and speech on everything. To top the show, they also chosed music to go with the themes.

This was a new experience for all of us. The participants worked hard weeks before, especially they had to focus a lot on the pronounciation for the programme. This meant that they had to tape again and again until everything worked out perfect.

The aucience was impressed, and we all enjoyed very much the sample of typical Norwegian food to be tasted in full! We also learned many new things about Norway's culture and tradition, and are all looking forward to another similar event in the future.
