On Monday they arrived to Seville and we met them in the Eyre hotel, then we went home to sleep.

On Tuesday we went to our high school at 8:10, we work about the comenious, and later we went to visit Brenes.

On Wednesday we met at the high school at 8:10 and while ours partners were in huelva we were studying.

On Thursday we went to Seville to visit some places, and later when we were in Brenes we met to be together and say goodbye to ours partners.

On Friday almost all the students went back home. It was very difficult to say them goodbye.
I like so much this experience because it was very beautiful.

Experience of multilateral exterchange´12

This interchange was very interesting and special. We did other interchange yet, but I think that this was difference because it involved more countries than the other interchange. My partner was another girl. She was a Lithuanian girl. I learnt many things of Lithuania, like: labas=hello. I met many people and I did same good friends. I never forget this experience, and I hope do more interchanges. :)

I miss you people! a lot of kisses for you<3

The comenius that we did some weeks ago was very productive, in the way of improve our English and making friends from different parts of Europe.
All of us had learn a lot and it's another experience in our live.
I think they like Spain and the Spanish people too and some of them want to return in summer.
At my home, there were two girls, one from Denmark and another one from Italy.

Meeting in Seville


Last February, our partners came to Spain to work in the Comenius project “Work made easy”.

On Monday 6th, they arrived to Seville and we met with them in the Eyre hotel, then when we went to our town, Brenes we went for a walk together (Spanish and foreign students).

On Tuesday 7th we met in our high school at 8:10, and then some Spanish students showed it to the other ones. When we finished the visit we went to the meeting room where the students of each country told to the rest of the students about their own countries.

After the work session we went to visit some places of Brenes (the church, the town hall …). That afternoon we went to Seville by train to go for a walk, have fun and go shopping.

On Wednesday 8th, we met in the high school and while the foreign students were in Huelva visiting Moguer (Juan Ramón Jimenez birthplace, he was a very famous Spanish poet) the monastery of Santa María de la Rábida(the place were Christopher Columbus was before discover America) and the port of Palos ; we were studying . When our partners came back to Brenes we went to a party in the disco and to have some pizzas.

On Thursday 9th (our last day together) we went to Seville to visit the Navigation Pavilion (where we learnt about the history of navigation and the discovery of America) and the city centre of Seville. Then when we came back to Brenes we met to be together and say goodbye to the foreign students.

On Friday 10th our partners went back to their countries and we had to say them good bye and see you soon in your country.

It was difficult for some of us to say them good bye but we are happy because we know that we are going to meet with them soon.


The Exchange


I think that week was very important for us because we could improve our point of wiew to another contries, we could meet new people, make new friends and know the way of live of another countries.
,
These aspects were very important to make us better and more intelligent people, and we could improve our personalities making it fun with our new friends from all over Europe.
,
I hope that this experience hasn't finished yet and I will miss my new friends.

Esperience about Interchange!

During the week of access to the exchange guys have made new friends and learned a lot new things, words, customs ..
But above all we have learned to change a bit our personality with respect to think bad about other countries and is that without knowing you can not judge at first sight and I hope this has helped us to change our point of view.

The new experience in Spain ! :)


The last month , we have recived a some students from some places of Eurtope.
Students from Italy , Turjey , France, Iceland, Germany and Denmark.The most of them have been in Spain during 5 days less the italian students .
They visited some famous places of Seville and I think that the liked it.
During thes comenius I have learnt a lot of english and I have inproved my english accent.
I haven´t recived any student but I have been so happy with the differents students that have been in my friends´ homes .
I think that it can be a good experience for us because we haved tolk to other people from very diferents parts . Differents in costumes , lenguages , ...
I hope repit this experience. :)
