Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. For us, as teachers, our daily work involves institutionalized teaching and learning in relation to a curriculum but we can’t forget that any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. It’s here where our Erasmus+ project fits, preparing students for life as active citizens.


This is the blog specially created for the ERASMUS+ project called It's my life, it's my choice Here there are the 5 EUROPEAN schools working together in this challenger adventure:

1- The Coordinating school: LAUDIO BHI from Laudio (SPAIN)
2.- GROTIUSCOLLEGE, Delft (The Netherlands)
3.- NORGARDENSKOLAN, Uddevalla (Sweden)
4.- CELALETTIN TOPCU ANADOLU LISESI, Çanakkale (Turkey)
5.- LYCEE AORAI, Pirae (French Polynesia)



SPAIN

Relationships
Immigrants from the past and nowadays in The Basque Country.

An important point in our project was to investigate and learn about relationships.  And here we wanted to focus in immigrants and refugees.
In the last years, here in our school, it is more and more often to have students coming from other countries among us.
We see them every day close to us but rarely do we ask ourselves for the reason they or they families had to come to live to our town. We don’t normally know about the problems they have to face in their daily lives to come to school.



In fact we don’t even realize that a lot of our families were also immigrants some years ago. Our parents or grandparents came from other communities in Spain and now we consider ourselves Basques, exactly the same as those ones whose families have been living here for generations.
We don’t know if the problems that the immigrants coming nowadays and the problems our relatives had some years ago are similar or if they also suffered from discrimination and racism.
Between the 50s and the 80s a lot of people, mainly coming from other communities in Spain, arrived to the Basque Country seeking for a better or easier life for themselves and their families.
  
People left rural and poor areas like Andalusia and Extremadura towards richer and more industrial zones like Madrid, Catalonia or the Basque Country.
In Spain, the Civil War induced a revival of rural activity, with the number of people working in agriculture increasing between 1930 and 1940. However, this meant a surplus of badly paid people in agriculture which would lead eventually to a massive exodus from the rural areas during the 1940's and continuing through the 1950's and 1960's.
The period 1960-1973 is known as a very intensive period for internal migration as well as for emigration abroad. It was a period of strong economic growth but with very substantial regional differentials. People left rural and poor areas towards the richer industrial towns.
But what happens over recent years? Most immigration to the Basque country now comes from abroad, chiefly from South America or northern Africa. And we wanted to know if the reasons are similar and if the conditions that these new immigrants face every day can be comparable along the years.

We have prepared a video with interviews to people who came to our town in the 50s and 60s and also to people who have recently come to live among us.

We have asked them the same questions because we wanted to know their reasons to come to Laudio and also if their conditions, and problems could be comparable.

Hau da gure erronka: 1200 euro biltzea Tindufen kanpamenduetako “bibliotekari baten urteko soldata ordaintzeko”. Este es nuestro reto: Reunir 1200 euros con los que pagar el sueldo anual de un bibliotecario/a en los campamentos de refugiados de Tinduf.


El pasado viernes 11 de Diciembre contamos con la presencia de Gonzalo Moure, escritor de literatura infantil y juvenil, y de Inés Aparicio, activista y colaboradora del proyecto BUBISHER.


La jornada comenzó en la radio:   Radio llodio Gonzalo Moure(fragmento)Diciembre 2015 

Siguiendo en el instituto con una charla a nuestro alumnado participante en el proyecto ERASMUS+, en la que pudieron ser conscientes, una vez más, del valor de la palabra solidaridad. "No queremos lo que os sobra" decía Gonzalo, "Sino lo que hace falta". "No pedimos caridad sino solidaridad."

Los alumnos y alumnas de nuestro instituto habían tomado contacto previamente con la cultura Saharaui a través de la lectura del libro "Palabras de Caramelo". 

Anteriormente habían asistido a una reunión con Maria L.Belloso en la que se hizo una introducción a la situación de los refugiados en los campos de Tinduf. Se les explicó lo que era el Bubisher, en qué consiste este proyecto y cómo nació, precisamente de la idea de otro alumno de un colegio gallego, para conservar la cultura en los campamentos a través de la red de bibliotecas y bibliobuses en las que trabaja el Bubisher.

Finalmente nos lanzaron el reto: ¿Seremos capaces de organizarnos? ¿De unir la fuerza de cada uno de nosotros...1+1+1+1 ... pensar en actividades para recaudar el dinero necesario para pagar el sueldo anual de un bibliotecario?

No es un reto muy difícil, pero la lección que queremos que nuestro alumnado aprenda es la importancia que tienen conceptos tan importantes como la solidaridad, la implicación, el voluntariado,... It's my life - it's my choice. 

Para terminar la jornada, fueron los padres y madres de nuestros alumnos/as, junto con algunos miembros de la Asociación de Saharauis de Llodio los que pudieron  disfrutar de la presencia de Gonzalo y aprender un poco más de la situación en los campos de refugiados de Tinduf.

Proyectos Europeos KA2 Erasmus+ Una oportunidad para poner a nuestro alumnado en contacto directo con otros jóvenes europeos y practicar idiomas en situaciones de comunicación reales


Este artículo resume cómo en el IES Laudio BHI hemos utilizado el proyecto Comenius para que el alumnado mejorara sus competencias en lengua extranjera y las herramientas TIC. El desarrollo del trabajo, de forma colaborativa con otros institutos europeos, nos ha llevado a ser elegidos como referentes de buenas prácticas en proyectos europeos.
