STREET ART SPREADS ITS WINGS

By several students at IES de Catabois.

Street art or the expression of artists on the walls of many European towns and cities today has provided them with a new image, as you can see in the photograph below. It is called Polish-Hungarian Friendship Tree and shows the close connection between the Polish and Hungarian cultures. There is a text on the mural which reads:
“Hungary and Poland are two forever-living oaks, which have their own trunks, but their roots are far beneath the earth: they have joined and invisibly merged. So the existence and strength of each one is tied to life and health of the other.” — Stanislaw Worcell

During our stay in Sicily, we were lucky to see three beaches, yet each of them was different.

A mysterious animal

  by Bartłomiej Blacha and Karol Danielczyk from Bieruń, Poland

On the third day of our trip to Sicily we went to a very nice beach in Mondello. We put on our swimming costumes and started taking pictures. Suddenly, we saw a strange animal lying on the sand. It was quite small, just a few centimeters long, transparent with some blue elements. We didn’t know what it was. Our teacher warned us: “You’d better not touch this animal, please, be careful”, but it was too late. We had already touched it!

VISIT TO IL GIORNALE DI SICILIA.

Last Thursday 7th April 2016, Il Giornale di Sicilia was visited by a large group of students and teachers from six different countries: Sweden, Poland, Turkey, Romania, Spain and Italy (the host school). The visitors are working on an Erasmus + programme KA2 project related to the media and the news.
At its offices, the guests were explained how a journal is made from its very beginning until we get them in our hands and they had the opportunity of visiting the installations as well. They got precise information about what the work in a journal is like by watching an explanatory video of its history. This is what they learnt after watching it: The history of Il Giornale di Sicilia.

The newspaper was founded in 1860 by Girolamo Ardizzone, whose bust can be seen at the conference room at the journal headquarters. The owners of the journal have been the same family since it was started, which is a unique case in Italy. The actual owner and manager is Antonio Ardizzone, one of the descendants of the founder.

Why?
