SPANISH POINT OF VIEW

Hi everyone!

Some weeks ago, I lived one of my unforgettable weeks for all my life; I spoke about friendship, funny and free time. But that week not only finish there. It was fantastic because I spent time with Spanish friends and moreover, I learned a lot of them. Now, I’m going to resume all the important and academic moments.

Day 1: Monday 9th.
We met our friends from other cuntries. We had some Danish lessons, where we teach to our news friends to know speak the basic things, I think that it was a really interesting lesson. The we has music lesson, Anette prepare a funny lesson with dancings and songs, and we also used our body to say Danish words.

Day 2: Tuesday 10th.
We visit the awesome city of Ribe, where the Vikings lived! It is a very close and beautiful village. And also we enjoy of a really good weather.

Day 3: Wednesday 11th.
We started that day using the music in different ways, we could use different instrument and things to make melodies. Morover, we made draws of our musical feelings. I think that it is a really interesting activitie to use with our pupils in a future.

Day 4: Thursday 12th.
Our friends visited some schools and then we spoke about this experience together, because I had have this practical two weeks before them arrival. For the Spanish students, that was a very good experience, because we find a lot of differences between the Danish and the Spanish education system. We will bring some ideas to our schools in Spain.

Day 5: Friday 13th.
We prepare our presentation, and then we had a firewall party.



Last night of this week the others Spanish boys and me were speaking about this experience, and we thought that it pass so fast, and maybe they need more time to enjoy of it. They would to be Erasmus students. Otherwise, I’m sure that we will speak good about International week, and if someday, there is someone who ask to us about it we will say:

My best experience in Denmark!

We have met very good people there, who have the same goals than us, to be good persons, responsible persons and enthusiastic persons, because we want to be good teachers and educators. We think that all of us have a big responsibility with our pupils, because they will be the future and we have to do the best.

The Danish education system gives us new ideas to make a more friendship world with people who respects all the cultures and who can live together.

About School experience, we learn a lot of interesting things, Denmark teachers, in Private Schools, don’t follow the normal curriculum, and they prepare their lessons in their own.

Teachers and pupils have a good relationship; they keep a lot of respect to them. Another interesting thing for us, is that pupils, when they arrive to the class, they have more freedom than in Spain, and moreover, they took their shoes during the lesson, in this way, everything is cleaner and the lesson is more comfortable.

Moreover, We could see and live the Danish life style, because it is different than Spanish style, the main difference is that in Denmark, people live relaxing, but they can work a lot of hours with out stress, sometimes they combine personal and professional life. However, in Spain, our life is completely stressful, and we need times to be relaxed, like “Siesta” and “Saturday night parties”.

In Denmark, people eat really less food but many times during long day. And in Spain, we have two meals each day, but they are big.

We liked that experience, because we can enjoy other cultures, their meals, and their custom. Like we said before, we have really good moments, like, first dinner, Danish lesson, Eurovision contest, and School experience, and everything.

But the most important thing is that it is a really good memory for all our life.
