Certificate delivery

On Thursday, June 5th, the award ceremony for the Erasmus+ mobility program was held at the auditorium of Institut Dertosa. Students who participated in the exchanges organized by the center—two with Germany, two with France, one with the Czech Republic, one with Portugal, and a hosting program with Italy—received their diplomas. The event also included the distribution of eTwinning certificates for two collaborative projects developed at the institute this year: Writing is Fun, involving students from second-year Baccalaureate E and partners from Madeira, Germany, and Italy; and Schreiben macht Spaß, with partner schools from the Netherlands and Poland. Isaac Artells and Carla López hosted the event, while Vera Checa concluded with a tribute poem to Europe, accompanied by Martina Pedrola on the transverse flute and Marc Sánchez Camacho on the clarinet.

Enjoy the 9 international stories

The nine international narratives created as part of the Writing is Fun project are a remarkable example of talent and dedication. They are beautifully written and aesthetically pleasing, reflecting the creativity and hard work of the students involved. Congratulations to the Catalan, Portuguese, Italian, and German students for the outstanding work they have accomplished!

The online meetings between the students have yielded great results, fostering idea-sharing and cultural exchange. This collaboration has been an enriching experience that has enhanced personal and academic growth for all participants.

Additionally, the excellent coordination among the teachers was a key factor in the project’s success. Their dedication and organizational skills ensured that all activities were carried out smoothly and productively. Together, they have demonstrated the strength of international cooperation in education. Kudos to everyone involved!

Strengthening International Connections Among Teachers

The Writing is Fun project has forged meaningful international ties among the participating teachers, fostering collaboration and friendship across borders. With Italian teacher Federico Binaglia, we are already planning to carry out a similar project next academic year, building on the success of our current initiative.

Furthermore, German teacher Felix Falkenberg will take the collaboration to the next level by delivering an online literature class to  students in institut Dertosa, providing them with an enriching and unique educational experience.

I also intend to maintain regular contact with Helena Silva, the dedicated teacher from Madeira, Portugal, whose active participation and enthusiasm have been instrumental to the project’s success. Her contributions have greatly enhanced the spirit of collaboration and creativity within the initiative.

These connections are a testament to the power of international projects to unite educators, enhance learning, and create a truly global teaching community.

Celebrating International Poetry Day with eTwinning

To mark the International Day of Poetry, the students involved in the eTwinning project participated in two inspiring and creative activities. These initiatives not only honoured the power of words but also encouraged artistic expression and collaboration among the students.

The first activity involved recording selected poems by Langston Hughes, an iconic American poet, social activist, novelist, and playwright. Langston Hughes is best known as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance, and his poetry often highlights themes of racial pride, social justice, and the beauty of African American culture. The students beautifully recorded his poems, creating an artistic and visually stunning format that brought Hughes’ powerful words to life.

Building on this inspiration, the students embarked on a second activity where they created their own original poems. Drawing from personal experiences and creative imagination, their poetic creations reflected a wide array of emotions and perspectives. To add an extra touch of creativity, the students designed their poems with aesthetic flair, resulting in visually appealing and artistically enhanced presentations.

Both activities showcased the remarkable creativity and dedication of the students while fostering a deeper appreciation for poetry and self-expression. The eTwinning project Writing is fun continues to be a dynamic platform for cultural exchange and artistic collaboration, and these Poetry Day celebrations are a shining example of the nice work that can be achieved together.
