APREHENDER EN ROMA

¿Qué mejor paraje para participar en un curso Erasmus dirigido al profesorado que una de las principales cunas de nuestra cultura?

Roma, ciudad amable que transporta a otras épocas, que deslumbra con sus incontables muestras de belleza, que enamora con su personalidad única, que sosiega con el dulce canto del agua derramada en hermosas fuentes…

Ni la lluvia pertinaz ni el intenso frío, consiguieron perturbar la dicha de recrearnos en sus plazas, sus foros, sus jardines sus peculiares calles, sus fachadas.

  

En este escenario privilegiado hemos compartido con profesionales de otras regiones y países, experiencias y herramientas de trabajo motivadoras, degustado rincones y callejuelas, saboreado la pasta italiana, paladeado la magia y el encanto que impregna la ciudad.

 

El conocimiento y manejo de  TICs  como herramientas de apoyo para fomentar el Aprendizaje Cooperativo y el Aula Invertida, así como para incrementar la motivación del alumnado, han sido los contenidos abordados durante esta semana en la Ciudad  Eterna.

   

Abandonamos Roma con pesar pero también con nuevas ilusiones, con atractivos materiales de trabajo, con nuevas amistades, con la satisfacción que deriva de tantos estallidos de placer y serenidad que, inevitablemente, se experimentan cuando alguien se pierde en el rico entramado de puentes, obeliscos, palacios, mercados, iglesias, recovecos… que conforman la hermosa Roma.

PALAS PARA TODOS

 

 

Primera actividad organizada por el Departamento de Educación Física en torno al deporte adaptado y el Día Internacional de la Discapacidad, con la Asociación PALAS PARA TODOS, en la cual hemos compartido una clase de pádel dónde los alumnos de la optativa Actividad Física y Salud, han colaborado con los miembros de la asociación, pasando un rato divertido, pero sobre todo, han aprendido que la ilusión y el esfuerzo supera cualquier limitación.

Actividad dentro del Proyecto KA101 "Nuevas metodologías para la inclusión"

 

Hemos disfrutado mucho de vuestra compañía, esperamos realizar muchas más actividades con vosotros. 

 

Gracias por vuestro cariño en las redes.

Estupendo trabajo realizado por los alumnos del IES Belén con nuestra compañera Carmen Lucena Villa, en la asignatura de Valores Éticos y Ciudadanía, en relación con la celebración del Día Internacional de la eliminación de la violencia contra la mujer, con el fin de  concienciar a nuestro alumnado para no tolerar ni asumir como algo normal la violencia de género.

Entre todos ellos han elaborado un mural que luce en la entrada de nuestro instituto con el eslogan.

 "Que las nuevas pandemias no oculten las viejas pandemias"

 

No sólo lo han trabajado en clase, sino que han querido aún más darle más visibilidad y hacerlo llegar a toda la comunidad educativa. Para ello, han elaborado una serie de impactantes fotografías que han sido expuestas en nuestro centro y que han presentado al concurso stop violencia de género.

 

 

 

Pero la lección más importante es:

 

ENCUENTRO EN MÁLAGA (6 DE NOVIEMBRE)/MEETING IN MALAGA (6th NOVEMBER)

 

6 DE NOVIEMBRE

6th of November

Este es el último día de actividades con todos los centros juntos y lo dedicamos a visitar el centro de Málaga. Realizamos un tour donde pasaremos por los puntos más emblemáticos de nuestra ciudad, comenzando por el SOHO y finalizando en la plaza de la Merced. Durante las paradas, el alumnado de nuestro centro da información relevante de dichos sitios, que se han preparado para actuar como perfectos guías de su ciudad.

This is the last day of activities with all the participants together and we dedicate it to visiting the center of Malaga. We make a tour where we will pass through the most emblematic points of our city, starting in the SOHO and ending in the Plaza de la Merced. During the stops, the students of our school give relevant information about these sites, who have prepared to act as perfect guides of their city.

- SOHO

Zahira da la siguiente información en inglés sobre el SOHO:

Zahira informs about SOHO:

The interesting thing about Soho Málaga is that its reputation as a street art district is the result of a public initiative, the MAUS project (Málaga Arte Urbano Soho). The aim of the project is to rejuvenate previously battered and abandoned areas. Numerous art events, exhibitions and concerts have begun to give Soho a new life. Now you can admire the works of artists such as Obey, Sal East, ROA or D'Face on the walls of the building. They are turning this neighborhood into a living art gallery.

Another highlight of Soho Málaga is the Soho CaixaBank Theatre. Formerly known as Teatro Alameda,

it recently opened after a facelift in November 2019. Now he has released a new musical "Chorus

Line", starring Antonio Banderas, an authentic Malaga and one of the most famous characters in

Malaga. On the first Saturday of each month, you can visit the Soho Market, which is full of

handicrafts, antiques, and many independent brand stalls.

- Atarazanas

Elena da la siguiente información en inglés sobre el mercado de Atarazanas:

Elena informs about SOHO:

It is a street where the central market of Atarazanas is locates, in the historic center of Malaga.

It was built between 1876 and 1879, although the building is Muslim origin. It is one of the buildings which best represent the architecture of the nineteenth century in Malaga.

Nowadays, it works as a traditional market with three sectors, one for fish, one for meat and one for fruit and vegetables, but it is also a very typical place to eat.

This market has an interesting history:

The building dates to the Muslim period and was used as a shipyard (an enclosed area of land where ships are built and repaired). When you visit the market, you will be confused that the building was a shipyard because the sea is not near here, but Malaga gained ground to the sea during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as the center town became too small and the city expanded.

At the end of the 19th century, it was decided to build a central market in this abandoned building.

At that period, there were many markets in the city, but being in the open air, they had quite bad hygienic conditions, so this covered market was built to preserve the food better.

In 2008 a renovation was carried out that lasted until 2010 as the building was obsolete and in poor condition. A translucent roof was placed to allow better lightning of the market and stained-glass windows with traditional details of the city was placed.

Every day the people of Malaga come to buy fresh goods. Many of visitors come for taste the tapas and fresh “pescaito” (typical small fried fish) in the bars in the market or just to stroll through this building which has been able to preserve its traditional essence. Furthermore, at the main entrance of the market, there are several stalls that have a terrace.

The stained glass is so beautiful and impressive.

- Calle LARIOS/Larios Street

Carlos talks about Larios Street

Larios street is one of the most famous streets in Malaga. It was inaugurated in 1891, the 27th of August, by Manuel Domingo Larios, one of the greatest promoters of the textile industry in the nineteenth century. At the beginning of the street, you can see a statue of him, which is amazing. During the second republic in 1931, the street was called April 14th Street, and the statue of Manuel Larios was thrown into the sea by the republicans to be replaced by a statue of a worker. Years later, with Franco’s victory in the civil war, the Larios' statue was rescued from the sea and they were able to put it back in place. Therefore, today, we can call it Calle Larios again.

We start as always with the logistics: sandwiches, water and fruit for all participants. Then we take the bus to get to El Palo. We use the journey to chat with each other and with the rest of the transport users.

 

Una vez llegamos a El Palo, nos separamos en dos grupos, ya que hoy están previstas dos rutas alternativas: una por el paseo marítimo hasta Los yacimientos Arqueológicos de la Araña y otra una subida al monte San Antón. A medio día nos reuniremos todos para comer y para hacer posteriormente una actividad en la que tendremos oportunidad de conocer la historia y usos de las jábegas, barcas tradicionales que se usan en Málaga, de origen fenicio,  a cargo de los miembros del Club de Remo tradicional La Espaílla.

Por la tarde, nos acercamos con los responsables del Club Deportivo de Remo tradicional La Espaílla. Amablemente nos reciben sus miembros y nos dan la bienvenida. Felipe, profesor catedrático de la Universidad de Málaga y miembro del Club nos explica en inglés el origen de estos barcos, su uso en la antiguedad y en la actualidad y las diferentes partes de la jábega, así como los nombres que reciben cada uno de los tripulantes.

In the afternoon, we meet the people in charge of the traditional La Espaílla Rowing Sports Club . Its members kindly receive and welcome us.

Tras la charla, nos ofrece la oportunidad de remar con ellos. Lo primero es llevar las jábegas hasta al agua por el método tradicional. Todos a una tenemos que ir empujando la barca sobre unos tablones untados en aceite para que deslicen. Una experiencia fantástica de trabajo en equipo y sincronización.  

After the speech, he gives us the opportunity to row with them. The first thing is to take the "jábegas" to the water by the traditional method. All of us have to push the boat on some boards greased with oil so that they slide. A fantastic teamwork and synchronization experience.

 

Una vez en el agua, recibimos unas nociones básicas de remo y con más ilusión que coordinación, logramos avanzar hacia los Baños del Carmen acompañados de unas vistas fantásticas con la puesta de sol en el horizonte. Todos aquellos que participamos quedamos encantados.

Once in the water, we receive some basic notions of rowing and with more enthusiasm than coordination, we manage to advance towards the Baños del Carmen accompanied by fantastic views with the sunset on the horizon. All of us who participate are delighted.
