An instructive experience
On this first meeting we have met our partner teachers in person for the first time and visited the town of La Llagosta and the school Institut Marina. The same building as well as the teaching methods and the lay out of the classrooms gave us great hints and insights into alternative methods and innovative teaching
Institut Marina
● The school has great spaces and some of the classes are open, meaning that the teacher has their own classrooms while the students move to follow the lessons. The school has plenty of laboratories and equipment. The playgrounds and areas used for physical education are ample. The Catalan language is the first language while Spanish and English are the main foreign languages

Lessons are given to classes that are not very large in number, which helps a lot improve the quality of teaching.
The circular plant of the buildings of Insitut Marina is very peculiar. The desing is certainly innovative and aimed at conjugating practicality to comfort to rationality. The areas are spacious and well light during the day. The position of the desks helps the teachers to keep the students under control and to put himself in the focus of their attention.
Benefits for our teaching
Barcellona is a favourite destination for school trips so it was really useful to go there and gather information on new and more interesting places to show our students.
The science museums and the new architectonic layouts are astounding and provided us with inspiration and hints
The Presentations
● We were invited to present our schools and our towns. It was an interesting moment of exchange where we shared information on the school systems of our respective countries and about the institutions and towns where we work and sometimes live. The presentations were clear and comprehensive. Some took the form of well directed and acted videos with student actors.
Close collaboration
The collaboration among the teachers was excellent. We helped and learned from each other. The Spanish partners organized everything perfectly
