OUR TRIBUTE TO HENNING MANKEL, by the library team.

     We would like to dedicate a few words to Henning Mankell, a writer from far away from us who became closer through his novels.

Oscar Fredrik Church: A nice example of neo gothic in Gothenburg, by Ángela Rodríguez Fernández.

NEO-GOTHIC.

Neo-gothic is an architectural movement that started in the late 1740s in England. It became popular rapidly in the early 19th century, trying to revive medieval Gothic architecture, in contrast to the neoclassical styles which were popular at the time. This Gothic Revival displays characteristics from the original Gothic style, including decorative patterns, finials, lancet windows, hood mouldings, label stops and others.

'What’s new on the news?” Erasmus + project at IES de Catabois

     A few months ago, a young woman from Ferrol, Aroa Fandiño Serrano, contacted me via e-mail. In her mail, she explained that she is specializing in management of European projects and that, after reading about our Erasmus + KA2 project in a newspaper, she was immediately attracted to it. She expressed her interest in arranging an interview with the person in charge of the project at school in order to get information about its implementation and management, the goals we are achieving, the materials produced and the way both the students and the schools involved in the project are living it, what they are learning and so on... She added that she would like to include our project in her blog europeaconvencida.wordpress.com where she deals with topics which try to get Ferrol closer to Europe by relating different European projects with the town, as for example, the Urban Plan.

     Below is the post that she published in her blog talking about our project, after an interview with Maca Torres, coordinator of the project at IES de Catabois.

Efficient means of transport in Scandinavia, by the Spanish group travelling to Kungsbacka.

EFFICIENT MEANS OF TRANSPORT IN SCANDINAVIA.

         
 

     In a recent journey to Sweden we realized how easy a trip can be when the means of transport you use are well coordinated in terms of schedules as well as in terms of the nearness of the different stations (trains, ferry, bus, underground…) We had been advised by our teachers to pay a lot of attention to the means of transport we were going to use and these are the conclusions we got after travelling from Copenhagen to Kungsbacka via Helsingor. We also found out how security measures can differ from one country to another.
