COMENIUS SCIENCE AND PLANET 2011-2012

From October 2011, a group of pupils and teachers from each of our partner schools in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Austria and France worked together for our project: Science and Planet, the environment in our life, the science on our Planet and our life on the Planet.

Our first meeting of the project was in Tielt (Belgium). Unfortunately we were only five countries accepted from our agencies. Three countries were rejected. So in our first meeting we had to leave out some of things we had planned.

The aim of this project is to connect science and education and research. It wants to offer interdisciplinary approaches of sciences and technology to our pupils in addition to the regular subjects physics, chemistry, biology and biotechnology.

In November (2011) teachers explained the Comenius exchange project to the students. In December they knew their partner’s name and they started to talk with them by e-mail. They were excited to meet Belgian and Italian pupils.

Sunday 22^nd April

Belgian and Italian delegations arrive at Madrid airport. They stayed with Spanish host families.

Monday 23^rd April

On Monday they had breakfast in the school cafeteria at IES Beatriz Galindo and they were welcomed by the Headmaster. During the morning they attended a workshop called “Biodiversity and Culture I” where the Spanish, Italian and Belgian students exchanged their respective cultures. Afterwards they had a guided tour around Madrid “Madrid imprescindible: Madrid de los Austrias”. Following the tour they had lunch and later visited the Botanic Garden where they discovered the different kinds of vegetation. That evening the students returned home to their host families.

Tuesday 24^th April

The morning began with a workshop called “Video quiz” which dealt once again with the subject of Biodiversity. The students exchanged the work that they had carried out the day before. After a short break the students visited “La casa de Amberes de Madrid”. The Belgian students were very pleased to find out that in Madrid there is a Flemish Museum and cultural centre. Some workshops were organised in this cultural centre “Festival des metiers” in which the students participated in the elaboration of artisan products, glass, and watches, the dyeing of fabrics. They studied the chemical composition of the dyes for the materials. After returning to the school and eating lunch, they visited the interactive science museum “Cosmo Caixa”. There, they participated in an interactive tour organised by a guide, in which they engaged in activities relating to recycling of glass and plastic materials and waste. The students then returned to their host families after a very busy day.

Wednesday 25^th April

A workshop called “Geociencia” was organised in which, using computers, the students prepared montages about science in order to later organise a competition with prizes. During these days various visits were organised for the Belgian and Italian students. As the Italian students had already visited the Reina Sofia Museum during a three month stay in Madrid as part of an educational program, they preferred to visit the “Museo Geominero”. After completing these visits the entire group came together once again to eat lunch in a fun restaurant called “Ojalá”. The enjoyable thing about this restaurant is that diners eat while sitting on the sand covered floor. The last visit of the day was to see the Ayuntamiento of Madrid. As every other day they returned back to their homes to share their experiences with their host families.

Thursday 26^th April

The Belgian students visited Toledo and its many museums and the Church of Santo Tome while the Italian students went to “Instituto de calcografia Academia de bellas artes” where they discovered the technique of engraving.

Friday 27^th April

The first part of the morning was spent in the computer room where the final product “Biodiversidad y Cultura del Planeta” was elaborated. From 11am to 12.30pm the exhibition “Ciencia y planeta”, in which the winners received prizes, was organised. To close the program the students from “Conservatorio Arturo Soria” performed a concert consisting of pieces in various languages, Italian, English, French and Spanish. From 1.30pm to 2.30pm a goodbye aperitivo was offered in the school cafeteria. During the afternoon the Belgain students and their Spanish partners visited the Prado Museum. The Italians preferred to spend their last evening shopping in the centre of Madrid.

Saturday 28^th April

After a busy week the students said a sad a goodbye to their host families. Some of them will see each other again during the summer. The biodiversity served as a pretext to form close bonds.

Marta Valero's travel diary

Last February, 14 students between 17 and 15 were able to spend a week in Tielt, Belgium, as part of the European program Comenius, which this year is focused on “Science and Planet”.

For seven days, from the 5^th to the 12^th February, we shared house with a Belgian partner, taking part in educational activities and visiting some of the amazing places Belgium is full of, together with a group of nine people from Lyon, France.

Despite the incredibly cold weather, we received a warm welcome from the inhabitants of Tielt and the students and teachers of the De Bron school where our partners study, who were always willing to help us. All along the week, we participated in scientific workshops related to water such as how to recognize when it’s clean or how make purifying plants work. Also, we had the chance to visit such lovely places as Ghent, Bruges and Brussels, and we were even able to participate in some experiments made in the Ghent University laboratories.

For a week, we have mixed our culture with theirs, and could see the main differences between their way of life and ours, taste their delicious food such as chocolate, cheese and beer, and listen to the music they use to hear.

Thanks to this program, we have been able to spend one of the greatest weeks of our lives, see breathtakingly beautiful snowy landscapes, and learn a lot about something that concerns our lives as much as water, as well as improving our English, learning a little Dutch, and break the stereotypes about Belgian people.

Not only for the kindness of their people and the beauty of their country, but mainly because Belgium and its inhabitants made us feel like home, this experience was impossible to forget and I would not hesitate a single second if I were given the opportunity to repeat it over and over again. Ikhou van jou, Bëlgie.
