University Visit
One of the
main activities within our initiative was the visit to the Polytechnic
University of Valencia. There Professor Boronat had the great kindness to host
us and accompany us during our visit.
Before
going to the University we prepared some brochures where we explained some of
the actions the European Union carries out in terms of solidarity and we also
described our initiative for the Euroscola contest. They were ready just in
time to be shared with college students.
Dr. Boronat
was extremely thoughtful and for this special day he booked the Assembly hall
of the University for us. There we gathered an intimidating number of college
students and we read our speeches in front of this crowd.
To open the
conference Lucia read a short introduction in the Assembly Hall.

Then Mar
prepared a speech where she explained some details about the actions of the
European Union in terms of solidarity. You can have a peek at her speech under
these lines.
Then we
handed our host one of our brochures as you can see in the photo. And we left
some of them in Campus to disseminate our initiative.
Speaking in
public in such a big hall in front of an audience using microphones was a bit scary and we were very nervous
about that, but it turned out to be a success and a wonderful experience.
Volunteering at the hospital
We are Neus and Clara and we are going to
explain our experience working at the hospital like volunteers:
At first we went to the assembly hall to know how this was going to work, some nurses
explained this to us. Then they showed
us the hospital, ergo all the departments and rooms. When we at met the
hospital they assigned to us some patients. Our work was based on entertaining the patient we have been
assigned. We spend our evening talking and playing with them, like if we
were their family. And sometimes we read some funny books to make them laugh.
They were very grateful and affectionate and it was rewarding for us. It has
been one of the best experience ever, and we are so glad because the next
months we are going to repeat this amazing experience.

Solidary notebooks
Our high school, IES Pare Vitòria, is part of
the network of the UNESCO associate schools. One of the activities we make
every year to promote solidarity is the making and selling of Solidary
Notebooks.
We make them with recycled photocopies which
are not going to be used anymore, but still can be useful because they have a
clean backside. Then, we sell them in the high school hall and we donate the
benefits to a NGO.
Meet us!
We are the
Duncans, come and meet us!!
We are not
only classmates in first year Bachillerato, but we are also best friends! Have
a look at our school and get to know us! We have danced our way through all our
school so that you can have a peek at Pare Vitòria secondary school. Enjoy your
guided visit to our school!
