Here we are- the students and teachers, who are going to travel to Norway, to show Norwegian students and their school what our society is like and to learn about their society.
Sixteen and seventeen year old boys and girls with an aim in mind to travel to a far away country will use their English in order to share ideas on topics such as culture, history, monuments, environment and role of men and women in our societies. In addition the students will enjoy time with their host families while having to use English language in everyday situations while being in the country.
It was two years ago when we first started these exchanges that have led to this Comenius project.
We first heard about our Norwegian partners through an e-mail that was sent to us. We started writing and reaching agreements on language practising and visits in both countries what was the basis for our first visit.
On the second year we knew there was a new world in front of us- Spanish and Norwegians teachers and students, guidelines for school and family life ,visits to the city and writing a diary of students´ experiences were worked on the spot.
Still we knew there was more to our societies than that and here we are trying to deepen the knowledge of two distant but close societies. The students from both countries want to learn from each other to establish links of common communication.
Our first two visits were in February so we enjoyed a freezing cold weather that we fought with warm boots and clothes. It was an experience coming from the south of Europe to northern freezing weather!
This year we will visit them in September to enjoy the beautiful landscape we know exists there under the snow.
