Face the Past, nos vamos a Luxemburgo

Face the Past, nos vamos a Luxemburgo

Coincidiendo con la conmemoración del Día de Europa el pasado 9 de mayo, se ha desplazado a Luxemburgo alumnado de 1º de bachillerato del IES Pedro Jiménez Montoya para participar en el encuentro final del proyecto Erasmus+ Face the Past, Change our Future.

Del 9 al 14 de mayo, alumnado y profesorado del centro bastetano han investigado y debatido sobre algunas de las páginas más controvertidas de la historia de Luxemburgo, en concreto su actuación durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus vínculos coloniales en África.

El programa ha incluido presentaciones, trabajo en grupos internacionales, elaboración de tableros digitales (o padlets), debates, visionado del documental “Heim in Reich”, y visitas guiadas por Luxemburgo centradas en explorar los enclaves más significativos de ese pasado histórico , incluida la Villa Pauly, sede de la Gestapo.

Al igual que en los anteriores encuentros, se ha tenido la oportunidad de profundizar en las páginas negras de la Historia del país anfitrión a través de sus museos . En este caso se ha visitado el Museo de Historia y Arte y el de la Resistencia. Como colofón podemos señalar la visita a Esch – Sur- Alzette, Ciudad Cultural Europea 2022, y a la zona siderúrgica del sur del país.

En definitiva, ha sido una semana intensa y muy provechosa en el ámbito del aprendizaje y de la mejora de la competencia comunicativa en Inglés, lengua del proyecto, pero también muy enriquecedora como experiencia vivencial, tal como han indicado los alumnos y alumnas participantes en sus portfolios.

Este proyecto ha tenido una duración de 3 cursos y ha sido coordinado por la profesora de Historia, Laura Gallego.

Face the Past, nos visitan

Face the Past, nos visitan

Del 25 al 29 de abril,  el instituto bastetano IES Pedro Jiménez Montoya  ha acogido el cuarto encuentro internacional “Face the Past, Change our Future”, coordinado por la profesora de Geografía e Historia Laura Gallego. En dicho encuentro han participado unas  50 personas, entre alumnado y profesorado de cada uno de los centros implicados en este proyecto Erasmus+. En esta ocasión, las delegaciones visitantes  procedían de Suecia, Luxemburgo, Alemania, y Bélgica.

El tema escogido para su análisis y debate ha sido el de la represión durante la Guerra Civil y el periodo franquista. Con este fin se ha elaborado una gran variedad de recursos didácticos, incluida una emotiva recopilación audiovisual de testimonios e historias reales, disponibles en español e inglés. 

El programa de actividades ha incluido debates, rutas temáticas por la localidad de Baza e incluso la realización de un sondeo entre la población local sobre la percepción de este episodio histórico y sus protagonistas. Asimismo, se ha contado con la presencia de destacados investigadores tales como la historiadora María Isabel Ruíz, reconocida escritora y miembro del grupo de investigación SUR-CLIO. 

De especial interés, han sido las visitas guiadas por  Almería y a la Base Álvarez Sotomayor, en Viator, donde se hizo un ameno e instructivo recorrido por la historia de la Legión y las funciones que cumple en la actualidad. Los refugios antiaéreos de la Guerra Civil o el monumento a las víctimas de Mauthausen son algunos de los enclaves emblemáticos que se exploraron durante la visita a Almería. 

 El visionado de la película española “la Mula”, subtitulada en inglés para la ocasión, y la elaboración de “padlets” (tableros digitales colaborativos)  por parte del alumnado, quien previamente había sido distribuido en grupos internacionales, completaron la planificación de esta intensa semana en la que no faltó la puesta en valor del rico patrimonio natural y cultural de la comarca,  gracias en gran medida a la implicación activa y generosa de las familias y del alumnado del IES Pedro Jiménez Montoya que ha colaborado en este evento europeo.

FACE THE PAST, CHANGE OUR FUTURE

DAY 1 (15 nov.)

Today was a really busy day.

We arrived at school at eight o’clock and our Swedish hosts showed us around their school. 

Then, at nine o’clock we started each country’s presentations. The Swedish students started by talking about their country. Then they gave a funny presentation about how we should behave in Sweden (in many ways the opposite to the way we behave in Spain)  and then we learned about Swedish history. We were next and we were really nervous but our presentation went quite well. 

About ten o’clock they gave us “Fica”. This is kind of a sweet snack typical in Sweden. After this we kept on with the other presentations and at twelve we had lunch at the school.

Next we played some games to get to know each other. Furthermore, we had three different quizzes about the European Union. In addition, we had a scavenger hunt around the school. 

We  left school and we took the bus to a mall in Skovde. Some of us had a big sandwich and then we went to play laser tag. We had fun! At the end of the day we had dinner at home.

DAY 2 (16 nov.)

Today was the quietest day of the trip according to our host. 

When we arrived at the high school we were waiting for the activity to start with the other exchange students from Belgium in a room with some sofas (we found it very curious that they have these kinds of “rest rooms” everywhere). 

Then we listened to a two-hour talk about the Sami, a small group of people living in Lapland. Between the two hours of class we had a Fika. 

The last activity in the school was lunch and later we went to the cinema to watch a movie related to the Sami, called “Sami blood.” The movie was about a girl who suffered discrimination for belonging to the Sami group and escapes from her school to start a new life.

When the movie finished, each of the exchange students made different plans with our host, for example, Belen and Irene went to the forest and Elena and Natalia baked cookies and muffins.

The day has ended early as tomorrow we are leaving for Stockholm. WE ARE VERY EXCITED!

DAY 3 (17 nov.)

On Wednesday we went to Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden. 

We visited some museums and we had lunch at the army museum. We took a boat to go to the Vasa museum, where you can see the world’s best preserved 17th century ship and the most visited museum in Scandinavia. They recovered the ship after being on the sea bed for over 300 years. 

Later, we went to the old part of town, where we spent our free time walking around the city. Then it was time to go back on the high speed train!

DAY 4 (18 nov.)

Today was a day dedicated to museums.

At nine o’clock we met near the Västergötlands Museum and we had a walk around some old houses, farms,…Then we visited the veterinarian museum where we watched a film about  its foundation and had a guided tour. It was really interesting to see all the equipment of that time. 

After that, we had lunch at the Västergötlands Museum and then we also had a guided tour there. We learned a lot about some archeological findings in Skara and its history. At 1 o’clock we had “fika”with all the other students and then we continued our visit.

When we finished our tour, we had free time in the afternoon with our hosts and we had a great time! Some of us went shopping and others visited a nearby town.

DAY 5 (19 nov.)

Today we arrived at school at 8:00 o’clock and we had to work on different padlets to share everything we had learned during the week. When we finished, we went to have lunch at school. After that, we went ice skating and it was really exciting!  We went back to school to work on the final evaluation of the project. When we finished, we went bowling. It was so much fun! Then we went to a taco buffet and we loved it. To finish the day we went shopping to get some Swedish sweets to take to Spain for our families.
