EL CEIP MESTRE PERE GARAU DE SON MACIÀ (MANACOR) AL PROGRAMA ERASMUS+
Aquesta setmana es celebra la visita de mestres i alumnes d'escoles de Bulgària, Itàlia, Grècia, Romania i Turquia, països socis dins el projecte europeu "CULTURAL MAPPING OF EUROPE" que tenim el plaer de coordinar i tindrà una durada de 2 anys.
Aquest programa, té com a objectius fonamentals l'intercanvi de bones pràctiques i coneixença dels diferents països a partir dels principals monuments de la UNESCO, implicar la participació de tota la comunitat educativa i la millora en l'adquisició de la competència en llengua anglesa.

Una de les claus és dur endavant dinàmiques cooperatives, emprant les tecnologies de la informació i comunicació (TIC) per tal de dur a terme la mateixa tasca al mateix temps a països diferents. Per altra banda, es pretén internacionalitzar l'alumnat apropant-los a la realitat europea i desenvolupar així una identitat com a ciutadans europeus.

Dintre d’aquest projecte europeu un grup d’alumnes del nostre centre realitzaren el mes d’abril una visita d’ensenyament-aprenentatge a Bulgària. Durant el curs 2018-2019 es realitzaran visites d'ensenyament aprenentatge a Grècia i Itàlia.

El projecte Erasmus+ del nostre centre està co-financiat amb fons europeu. SEPIE és l'Organisme Autònom, depenent del “Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte” que actua com a Agència Nacional per a la gestió, difusió, promoció i estudis del programa Erasmus+ a l'àmbit de l'educació i la formació.

És necessari fer difusió de la participació en programes europeus a centres de primària per tal que altres centres s'engresquin amb aquestes experiències tan enriquidores tant a nivell personal com a professional per a tota la comunitat educativa.

El nou edifici del centre es va inaugurar el passat setembre i és la segona visita d'àmbit europeu que rep en aquest curs, ja que a l’actualitat el CEIP Mestre Garau té en marxa dos projectes europeus.

Durant tota la setmana es realitzaran diverses activitats educatives i culturals.

For me it was the first time I left the country - this exchange of students was an extraordinary experience. I met young people from partner schools, new places and new experiences. (Miruna)
I was very happy that the Erasmus + project gave me this chance. The reason I was involved in the project was experimenting to put into practice my cultural and computer science skills by working together with my colleagues and teachers (Clara)
During the exchange of students I directly met the traditions, customs and cultural elements in Spain as well as in the countries participating in the project. We talked extensively with foreign colleagues, we worked together on costume presentations, activities that revived old medieval games, group projects and cooperation among participating students from the 6 countries. (Raluca)
I was very glad to be able to participate in mobility in Spain because I made many friends. I saw the school in Spain, I attended classes with foreign students, I saw how students learn Spanish, I saw what textbooks they use and how they have a daily schedule. I worked in craft workshops that kept the city's cultural spirit alive and realized how important it is to promote these concerns. (Ariana)
I returned more confident in my ability to communicate with foreign students, managed to establish new friendships and contacts with students from other countries. I learned new things about student life in Spain, Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria and Greece, and I enriched my knowledge of music, dances and other traditions, celebrations and cultural customs of the participating countries. I also learned expressions in Italian, Spanish and Greek. (Ana)
