Development Work
•
During this school year we have focused part of our activities in the project
Democracy at School with the Training Course for Reps and other activities.
•
We have formed our Living Together Workshop supported by the Center for Teachers
and Resources of Logroño in which other teachers have taken part. The mainline of
our work: Multiculturalism and Integration of Minorities. We have prepared didactic
materials to work in the classes devoted to Tutorial and also in other subjects:
Foreign Languages, Spanish Language, PE, Music, Art, etc.
•
We have tried to involve our foreign students in every activity of the school:
Christmas, Santo Tomás, etc.
•
We have designed a Welcome Day for the pupils of the 1st Year of ESO with lots of
activities devised to create a good atmosphere among the newcomers as well as a
first conctact with the staff and services of the school.

Training Course for Student Reps
This Training Course took place in

it and it has been integrated in the
Curriculum of the School. It will be
held at the beginning of every
school year.

3. Democracy at School.
Training Course for School Representatives
• Pupils of 2nd ESO perform the
play “ How not to hold a
meeting” during the course.
• After the play, the students fill
in a form in which it is made
clear the way a meeting should
be held.
• Later a notebook for writing the
minutes of every meeting is
handed in to every
representative together with
instructions of how to write a
minute.
The students also give part of the Course.
3. Democracy at School.
Training Course for School Reprsentatives
Difficulties in the communication
• Juanjo Garnica convinced us all of how difficult it is to make oneself
understood with this exercise: a pupil describes an image that
another pupil draws on the blackboard. As you can imagine, both
images turned out to be very different.

Activities of the second day.
•
•
•
The second day was devoted to a
“Problem Solving” session.
To carry out this activity we had a
sociologist, Eduardo Troncoso
Mosquera, who proved to be really
good with the students.
As it was a large group, we
decided to divide the
representatives into two more
homogeneous groups for these
activities.
After the session the students filled in a Questionnaire to evaluate the Course.
3. Democracy at school.
Meetings with the Representatives in the second and third Term.
The idea of these meetings is to assess the improvement in the participation
of the students in the process of decision-making at school and to compile
their suggestions for next year.
Other activities.
We are still working in the design of activities to be used in the weekly hour
of Tutorial as we want to promote in our students the awareness of how
important it is to choose the representatives carefully, the qualities they
must have and, at the same time, to improve the knowledge of the
democratic process in our school.
4. Multiculturalism. Integration of minorities.
Living together workshop.
•
The idea is to create an activity bank for the Counselling and Support
Department and also for other Didactic Departments, in order to improve
aspects of our living together at school, the integration of minorities and, in
general, of all the foreign students we have at present.
•
We would like to make our students aware of the opportunity we have of
making our experience richer by sharing it with those who have come to live
to our Community and, at the same time, to help those who feel foreigners
among us to be proud of their origin, language and customs.
4. Multiculturalism. Integration of minorities.
Living together workshop.
• We have made a leaflet with the Lingüistic File of our students,
with information about the countries and languages we currently
have at school. We have added basic conversational exchanges in
every language.
– We’ll provide every form with one of these leaflets at the beginning of
the school year.
– The students of different forms have helped in the process of
investigation and preparation of the leaflet.
– We understand this activity as a part of the process of getting to know
one another.

Festivities.
Christmas
•
•
•
Some students made mobiles with the word PEACE in several of the
languages currently spoken in our school. At Christmas the mobiles were
shown in one of the halls of the school.
A RAP based on the word PEACE said in several languages was
composed and it was played at Christmas.
A contest of Christmas cards was held. The motto: “Images and words:
how do you feel the process of living together in our school?” The idea was
to see how our students felt in a school where we currently have students
from twenty-two nationalities.

Race to Equality through Art
Design of posters and murals
about multiculturalism and
race equality in collaboration
with our partner schools.

Race to Equality through Art
We have created a space of free
expression for our students in
which they can reflect their
experiences and thoughts with
respect to the way they feel
together at class.
At the moment we have used long
sheets of paper that we have
placed on the walls of some
classrooms so that the students
can write and draw about what
they feel and think.
We would like to display these
murals in the hall of the school at
the end of the school year.

Race to Equality through Songs.
• In this part of the project we have worked with songs that are about
multiculturalism and solidarity, about how to live together in peace.
• The songs have been worked by a group of 3rd year of ESO, who
have prepared Power Point Presentations. Two of them have been
translated into English to share them with our partner schools: “An
Anthem not to win” by Lluís LLach and “Contaminate me” by Pedro
Guerra. Other interesting songs (only Spanish version): La Casa por
la ventana, by Joaquín Sabina, and “Extranjeros” by Pedro Guerra.
• Final product: If our partners have studied some songs of this kind,
we would like to compile them in a CD to be used as didactic
materials in our Enlglish classes or in Tutorial.

Living together workshop.
Race to Equality through Films.
• We have chosen several films that treat some of the themes we are
dealing with in our project. We have prepared questions about each
film so that they can be used as didactic materials in some classes.
We are sure these films will prove to be useful for the form teachers
who want to use them in their weekly classes.
• Some of the films we have worked with:
Billy Eliot, East is East, Edward Scissorhands, Bend it like Beckhan,
Ae Fond Kiss, Barrio and Cartas de Alou.

Race to Equality through Films.
• During the second term we
have focused on the film “Ae
Fond Kiss”, by Ken Loach and
a debate has taken place
among students of all the
partner schools.
• In the photograph Atta Yaqub,
one of the main characters of
the film, at the interview that
took place at Shawlands
Academy in May 2005.

Welcome Day Activities for 1st ESO.
•
These ACTIVITIES have been thought to create a good atmosphere among the
students who come to school for the first time. They will be a good excuse to get to
know one another as well as to get acquainted with the new school: building, services
and staff.
•
The activities will be carried out by the Comenius Team and staff from several
Didactic Departments that are part of the working group. Students of the Second Year
of Bachillerato will help in the program acting as “tutors” of the younger students.
Some parents have volunteered to help too.
•
The activities will take place the first and second day of the school year.
•
At present we are still designing activities to help our students to get to know one
another and, in general, activities which promote a positive attitude at class.
•
One of the most important agreements to be reached during the work sessions:
Classroom Rules, a number of norms that all students will commit themselves to
follow at class.
