In the last post on our blog we want to make a short summary of our adventure, Tales for Peace. We have made a magazine that reflects some of the experiences of these two years, and we leave you a link so that you may download it if you fancy.
We just hope that this experience has made us all more European citizens, and especially citizens of the world.

End of Tales for Peace Project
With the arrival of the new school year, the time has come to say goodbye to our Project Tales for Peace. They have been two years full of illusions, new experiences and important learning experiences for all.
We hope the ties and the interests that have been built up over these years remain in time helping us all become more and more European citizens, and especially citizens of the world.
From here we want to thank all the students who have taken part in the Project. Congratulations on their interest, effort, skills, excitement, cooperation and hard work.
We also want to thank the school authorities for having allowed this Project to be carried out.
Finally we would also like to thank all the teachers, who in one way or another, eased the participation of the students for their support and contribution: Ana Rifón, Alicia Vázquez, Arantxa Concheiro, Felipe Sar, Vicente Agrasar, Mónica Trigás, Daniel Baldonedo, Isabel Riádigos, Mª Luisa Fernández, Manolo Campos, Javier Varela, Noelia Casal…. And we’re sure we’ll leave someone out.
Thank you very much!
Thanks everyone for your selfless help!

End of Tales for Peace Project
Our students of 4th ESO have made some videos and power points giving their opinions about the project Tales for Peace, the first one our school has been involved in, and which is about to be over. They have tried their best at everything and we want to congratulate them from here. We feel proud of what they all have done so far.
In these videos they speak about the things they are for and against and the things that could be improved.
One thing is clear for all of them: all of them have loved the project and have been happy to join it. They all would have loved to be the ones travelling during the past two years.They keep in touch with their host families, and the ones who couldn’t travel keep on being in touch with the foreign students as well.
Thanks to it, this summer the first exchanges will be made in our school!
Thank you indeed to all our students and congrats on their hard work, excitement, cooperation, interest and interest. All of them have made this project possible. Thanks so much!
As for the videos, the first position goes to this video, made by some of our students of 4th ESO B, who went to Jablonec with us last March. They tell us about their experiences, and the ones staying here also tell us about the way they felt staying in A Coruña.
The second position goes to three students of 4th ESO A, one of them travelled
with us as well.
The third position goes to a student from 4th ESO C, who stayed here and who I think that he has been very brave to have done it by himself.
It has been a pleasure to work with all of you, guys!

23rd March: The return
The families took our students to the school of Jablonec, which was the meeting point for our trip back home. It was a sad moment as goodbyes are never pleasant, but above all, we left with the idea of seeing each other again anytime soon and really happy over the experiences we had shared along the past days.
When we got to Prague’s airport one last surprise was awaiting us, as our friend Maty had driven all the way just to say bye to us! Thank you, Maty!
We spent the rest of the day flying from one airport to another, waiting on our planes… We were finally happy again when we got to A Coruña’s airport and our families were there waiting for us and really looking forward to our telling them about our wonderful adventures!

22th March: Visiting Prague
Prague is such a lovely city and hides so many things that we couldn’t have thought of any better place to spend our last day in. We visited the Jewish museum, St. Wenceslao Square, the Matinal Theatre, the Dancing House… We also took the chance to buy some souvenirs along our little trip to the city.

21th March: A day for coexistence
We started off the day visiting a glass factory in Harrachov. We were absolutely astonished by their works and especially, by their awesome ability of coordination. In Harrachov we also visited a beer factory, which is very typical in the Czech Republic.
In the afternoon we visited Liberec, the biggest city close to Jablonec. Apart from doing some shopping there, we also visited the old town, the town hall…
At the end of the afternoon we headed to a bowling alley for a big competition. International groups were again made and the game got started. It was good fun and we had the chance to coexist in a, let’s say, very playful way. The best of it all was the mini disco located in the bowling alley, to where we went after the game and where we danced endlessly.

20th March: Visit to Prague
We all went to Prague together on a trip. There we visited the Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, Lesser Town, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square…
From here we’d like to say thank you to all the Czech students who helped us to figure Prague out, but more concretely, to those who were with us all the time and were wonderful guides.
We came back to Jablonec in the afternoon and ended the day there as we were very tired.

19th March: Comenius Festival
The morning started early with a visit to the town hall. Apart from getting to know the facilities, we were welcomed by the major of the town.
We spent the rest of the day rehearsing our performances for the Comenius Festival which took place in the local theatre that afternoon.
Once there, our students performed a play they had prepared for the occasion. Our school’s play was called ‘The lighthouse of the dreams’, a brief story about the relationship between Galician people and the sea.
At the end of the day, the teachers, some local representatives from the town hall of Jablonec and the headmaster of the Czech school gathered to have dinner.

18th March: The Czech school and the Food Festival
In the morning of the 18th we took the time to get to know each other better and chatted for a while. The headmaster of the school, Jiri Kozlovsky, welcomed us to their facilities and to their country. The quire of the school also dedicated us a few songs to welcome us.
Straight after that, they divided us into international groups and we carried out different activities aimed at promoting coexistence and the knowledge among the groups.
Some of the aforesaid activities involved:
- A presentation from the Czech group
- A presentation of the meetings that took place in Parma and A Coruña
- A presentation on Jablonec and their region
- Decorating Easter eggs
- Singing Easter songs
- Making a Polazka
- ...
At midday we had a typical Czech lunch at the school’s cantine and afterwards we enjoyed of some spare time to do some rest, walk around Jablonec and rehearse that afternoon’s festival.
One of the star activities of that day was the Food Festival. All the contestants brought typical food from their motherland and put it all together in the festival. Every country set a table with some of their most typical dishes and we all shared a moment of coexistence and cultural exchange. It was a good idea as we got to try typical dishes from every country, and that’s always a good way to get to know more about them.
At the end of the festival the students left with their host siblings; some went home while others decided to go for a walk around the village.

Spring meeting in Jablonec (Czech Republic) - 17th-23rd March 2013
The final meeting for the Tales for Peace project took place last March in Jablonec nad Nisou (Czech Republic). All the students from the four schools gathered to share experiences and show each other all the work carried out. Hereinafter we offer you a few posts with a brief summary of our stay in the Czech Republic.
17th March: The trip
We left A Coruña airport really early to go to Barcelona, and once there, we took our last plane to Prague. We spent all morning whether from one airport to another or flying.
We arrived in Prague at midday where one teacher and one student from another school were awaiting us. Together, we got a coach to Jablonec nad Nisou. It took us about two hours to get to our destination; we were really excited and we were really looking forward to arriving. The first thing to call our attention was the landscape, which was very different from the ones we already knew as none of us had never been to the Czech Republic!
We got to Jablonec nad Nisou in the middle of the afternoon. Once there, the host families and one teacher were waiting for us. It was a very emotive moment as we were finally meeting after having sent each other so many messages on social networks!
The students left happy yet nervous with their host families, and the teachers left too as they also needed to take a break after such a long journey. It had been a really long day, we had woken up really early and we all needed to do some rest as we were sure the following day would be really intense!
