Ens visiten els nostres companys d’Olomouc, Repúblic Txeca
Semblava impossible. Semblava difícil! Però ho vam fer! Del 9 al 17 de desembre vam rebre la visita dels nostres companys txecs amb qui compartim el programa europeu Erasmus+ TIEHA (Technology into European Historical Architecture).
Aquest programa, desenvolupat des de les àrees d’anglès, història i tecnologia, compta també amb una mobilitat de 16 alumnes i dos professors a Catalunya i el mateix nombre a la República Txeca.
Durant la seva estada, els alumnes van estar-se a casa dels seus companys catalans, fet que va afavorir l’ús de l’anglès com a llengua vehicular del projecte. També destaquem l’impuls de la competència social en aquesta part del programa ja que els intercanvis afavoreixen el coneixement de cultures i tradicions diferents.
Aquests dies els alumnes han realitzat activitats al centre i diverses sortides. Pel que fa al centre, a banda de conèixer el nostre edifici i la seva història, els alumnes txecs van participar en classes d’educació física, llengua catalana, llengua castellana, English i matemàtiques. Van visitar l’exposició creada pels nostres alumnes al castell, sobre monuments i estils arquitectònics històrics de Catalunya. I també van ser rebuts, conjuntament amb els seus companys catalans, per l’alcalde a l’ajuntament, on ens saludà i ens donà diverses informacions sobre el municipi.
En procedir d’un centre tecnològic, els alumnes txecs van visitar l’empresa familiar de maquinària agrícola «Tallers Vila-Vigerm» que els van mostrar les seves instal.lacions i van explicar el seu funcionament i els va agradar molt.
Pel que fa a les sortides, a banda de visitar Santa Coloma de la mà de la Cristina Villanueva i acompanyada dels codis QR preparats pels alumnes de 4t, vam anar a Poblet, Montblanc, Portaventura, Montserrat i Barcelona, on vam descobrir el barri gòtic, les rambles, el Parc Güell i la Barcelona dels Jocs Olímpics, a part de l’esperada visita al Camp Nou.
Enguany no vam poder fer cap festa, ni de benvinguda ni de comiat amb les famílies, però sí una breu trobada per a agrair la seva actitud i repartir els diplomes d’assistència als alumnes locals i visitants i també als dos professors. Volem agrair la participació dels diables de Santa Coloma, Keressus, que es van acostar al pati de l’escola i ens van mostrar aquesta part de la cultura popular i tradicional del nostre país.
Les cares tristes del moment de comiat reflectiren l’èxit de la trobada a Catalunya d’aquest Erasmus+. Organitzar aquesta activitat en pocs dies fou difícil però amb la il·lusió i empenta del professorat, famílies i alumnes ha estat possible!
Ara continuem treballant, cada grup des del seu institut, amb ganes de retrobar-nos a principis d’abril a la República Txeca.
Altre cop, gràcies a totes les persones que ho vau fer possible!
The students’ voice of the Erasmus+ experience
«The week from 10th to the 17th December was very intensive We met such nice people and I didn’t think we could hold a friends relationship with only one week or miss them so much.
It has been a very enriching experience, because of the constant use of the English language, the fact of meeting new people, and knowing a little bit of their culture, even though when we go to the Czech Republic we will learn much more.»
By Kiona G.
«I think the Erasmus Experience was amazing, because we met wonderful people. The first few days we didn’t talk too much with them but the last few days were the best since we already were more confident. The excursions were also great, especially “PortAventura” because we were going with our friends. It was a great experience that I would love to repeat»
By Èlia B.
«What I like the most is when the boys of the Czech Republic came here, to S.C.Q. I like it because I could practise my English and they are so funny and good boys… We learnt some words from their country and they learned some words in Spanish and Catalan.»
By Aina C.
«The first day in Barcelona was good, I had so much fun with my Czech friends. I spoke to them in English, we asked each other about our studies, what we like…and also we visited many beautiful and historical places in Barcelona. What I really liked is when they arrived at our school, and they spent a week with us. It was the best week of this year.This experience helped me to improve my English by speaking with the Czech students and I also learned about Czech culture.»
By Ikram M.
«The Erasmus project has been a very good experience, I have learned a lot of English and I have had the opportunity to make new friends from another country. I miss them so much and I am looking forward to seeing them again. Apart from this, I have also really liked all the excursions that we have done. I would repeat the experience.»
By Júlia L.
«My friend was Mirek (Miroslav), in the first days he was a little bit shy but on the last days he went out with friends. My favourite day was Thursday, when we came to the high school in the afternoon/night, and we played football with our Czech friends. I want to go to the Czech Republic now, to see them again.»
By Álex S.
«First of all, let me say thank you to all the coordinators of the Erasmus+ programme. This experience was full of opportunities to improve my English and socialize with new people.
I liked all the activities. On the one hand, it was a different experience and being in a different routine was good for all; on the other hand, the first days were strange, we had a person sleeping in our house and he was sleeping in a different house. It was a little bit difficult to talk to him at first because he was so shy, but at the end of the week, he was more interactive and nice with my family. In conclusion, I think that they would like to stay one more week and that this project helped us in a lot of things. I would repeat this experience. I’m looking forward to going to Olomouc.»
By Judith T.
«In my opinion, the Project was successful, and something new for the students because we had never done one before….After many months of intensive work and in spite of the pandemic, finally they could come. In each house, everyone did their best. Besides, the places we visited were interesting for them and for us. Now, waiting for the next part.»
By Roger S.
«This last week was really different because the Cczech Erasmus students came to Santa Coloma. During these days I spoke a lot of English and I also made good new friends and I can’t wait to see them in a few months, Finally, I want to thank (again) all the teachers that made this possible.»
