A visit to the zoo

Prague's zoo is one of the largest in the country and in Europe. This facility not only has animals living in fascinating recreations of their natural habitats (temperature, lighting, etc.) but it also allows visitors to donate money to raise and release these animals to their natural habitats as a means of preserving their population.
The students had the chance to see and interact with a variety of species. The activities prepared for the visit helped everyone to better understand the zoological context in a fun and productive way.

Gladiator fights: A March to the medieval fighting style through a realistic representation of arms.

Everyone enjoyed watching a gladiator fight in the school's gym in the afternoon. First, two Czech members discussed the basics of the gladiator fighting style, and then they started fighting like actual gladiators from the past. Despite its heavy weight, the equipment was well-suited to a heavy challenge, and students who were willing to take it on wore it. Although not widely known, the heavy equipment makes fighting difficult, so the sparring lasted just a few minutes.

Our journey in this challenge of the Erasmus Programs began in Cyprus in December 2019 and later, in January 2020, teachers and students of Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Finland and Czech Republic traveled to Finland in order to exchange experiences in the field of education. The pandemic caused mobility to Spain to be interrupted, but finally we are having our dreams fulfilled by offering students from our European partners the possibility of sharing educational experiences within Spanish social, educational and cultural environment in Dalías.
Spain has been preparing a series of activities that will begin on the 21st until 25th February. Among these activities, there will be workshops, excursions, talks, educational games, cultural visits, presentations and recreations about Cervantes and Don Quixote, the cultural symbols of our meeting.

We visited the headquarters of Nokia in Espoo where we realized how important this company has been for the industrialization and development of the area. The visit to Heureka museum combined the fun aspect and the scientific knowledge. At Altoo University we all learnt about art and science and discovered that both disciplines are much closer than we thought.

It has been very interesting to know about the social and economic conditions that have made the education in Finland one of the best in the world.

Teachers and students will keep a great memory of the hospitality of the host country. We have learned from each other and we made new friends. The distance between the European citizens is shorter thanks to programs like this. The experience has been very enriching for all. This is Europe.
