Six schools, six countries working together in a common European School Exchange Project based on learning Art and improve our skills in English language through the study of our festivities and traditions as the starting point for the development of a coexistence in harmony.
These last weeks we have learnt a lot about Christmas. We focused on traditions all over the World and also we tried to discover the meaning of them.
To sum up, we have prepared different postcards to send them to our Erasmus+ friends. We have written them taking into account their different traditions and sharing ours too.
Although it is not
possible to travel for the moment, our team cannot stop learning and getting
close. it doesn´t matter if it is from home or the luckiest ones from school.
So, this time we were
learning about a special festivity in Romania. We know that Saint Andrew is
celebrated in many countries, but this year we have focused on Romania, as it
is one of the participant countries in our project.
It was very interesting to
learn that we have some very similar traditions although we celebrate them in
different dates.
So,we could compare Saint Andrew with Halloween
and, of course with our Samaín in Galicia.
We have taken into account
the superstitions and traditions beyond the religious part.
To grow wheatgrass is an interesting tradition and we are trying to put it into practice, You can try to do it at home.
