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.
