It is embarrassing to know that the not white population lived for such a long time in slavery conditions. So I could easier understand that some people are still suspicious and reserved. And there are still frontier lines between them even in a geographically sense: the two Islands in Guadeloupe. 

Another input is the fact that outdoor activities are very important for the motivation of pupil and teacher. The ideas should come from the pupils themselves. 

Conclusion: What a great day with nice people. Looking forward...

What I have learned today:

Today I have learnt about various, highly interesting aspects of intangible cultural heritage:

First of all, it is the formerly mainly oral tradition of the creole language spoken on Gouadeloupe  that came into being because of the necessary need for the former French colonisers with their former slaves from different African countries. Later, this formerly mainly spoken creole language was turned into written pieces of writing such as songs, chants and stories.

Secondly, it is the way farmers on Guadeloupe grow banana plants by cutting down their whole banana plantation every five years and plant new banana plants with enough distance between them, so they soil can nurture these very plants properly.

This refers to the ever-more important aspect of how humans deal with nature and their possibly and hopefully ecologically responsible way of treating it.
