ACREDITACIÓ ERASMUS

June 23rd was the first day of our Erasmus adventure.

It has been very excited, we took the plane around 11a.m in the morning and we got our destination at 14p.m.

After picking up our luggage and finding the right trains, we finally arrived in Baden, the city of our Austrian friends.

The families welcomed us warmly and took us to their homes so we could settle in.

Each family organized a different plan in the afternoon: some went to Vienna, others visited nearby cities, and some even learned to play mini-golf!

It has been a day full of nerves and emotions, but in the end, we all had a great time!!!

June 24th,

We started the day at Baden’s high school, HLA School, with german and spanish classes.

Then, we did a tour through all the high school which has five different buildings. After that, we started the Baden’s visit with Kur Park where we had seen the casino and we finished it at the rosarium where we had lunch. The rosarium is one of the most beautiful places for visiting in Baden because you can look at incredible type of roses and flowers. Also, we had seen the photo exposition through all the town. Later, we had free time for being with our partners and visit other Baden’s places, like the Thermalstrabbad Baden.

After that, we visited Schönbrunn, a famous palace which was the summer residence of the Habsburg rulers. Its style was so baroque and shinny!Then, we enjoyed the zoo and we saw many animals like elephants, lions, monkeys, and so on. Our favorite animal was the panda bear, cute!

We are excited to announce that a group of students had the unique opportunity to participate in the #Erasmus program! 🎓✨ This project has allowed our students to spend a mobility period in Parede, Portugal, one of the most vibrant countries in Europe. 🌍🇪🇺

Monday 5 to Friday 10, February 2024

🌍 As part of the Erasmus program, international students in Portugal are seizing the opportunity to discuss and learn about the future of democracy. The host school has organized workshops, seminars and conferences focused on the importance of civic engagement, transparency, and the current challenges facing democratic systems.

🗣️ Erasmus students participating in this project are exploring the foundations of democratic governance, human rights, and global political trends. These academic programs are designed to encourage students to reflect on the role of citizens in democratic systems, particularly in a rapidly changing world. The discussions delve into how democracies can address global challenges like climate change, technological disruption, and growing political polarization.

A significant aspect of this Erasmus experience in Portugal has been the rich exchange of ideas that happens among students from diverse backgrounds.

Portugal, with its strong historical ties to democratic reform and its prominent role within the European Union, offers an ideal setting for such conversations. The country's experience transitioning to democracy after decades of authoritarian rule serves as a powerful case study for students analyzing the fragility and strength of democratic institutions.
