On 21st
June 2013 we celebrated the traditional yearly dinner at school to close the
school year with families, students, teachers and staff. It was held outside at
the school’s football playground on a full moon night and it was called “The
Eve of Human Rights” because music, poems and dances which students represented
on stage were all vindicating our human rights, especially the rights to
freedom of thought, education and home.
The
Comenius team also presented our closure video on Comenius, which we will
upload very soon, where our principal, students, parents, and teachers involved
in this Comenius project talk about their experiences and the project’s impact
on school and on their lives.
Since it
was the anniversary of the birth of Salvador Espriu (1913-1985), one of our
best Catalan poets, some of his poems denouncing the lack of freedom of thought
and speech and the violation of human rights during the Franco’s dictatorship
in Spain were read and interpreted by our students while other students played
or danced to the music. On these links below you can learn more about our
universal poet.
We also
said goodbye to some of our most compromised students in this Comenius project
finishing their studies at our high school. You’ll remember the twins Elena and
Mariona, and also Aleth and Sara. Apart from being great individuals, they have
participated in several Comenius mobilities and most interestingly, they have
drawn three mini-projects of action in the framework of Comenius to improve the
lives of our educative community and bring human rights to life in SES
Vallbona.
Below you
can see some pictures on the “Eve of Human Rights” at SES Vallbona d’Anoia.
