The meeting started on April, 7th. The Swedish group was the first one in

arriving, one day in advance. As the two other groups, they were staying at

Residencia Universitaria Lope de Vega, next to the University, in the city

centre.

7th April 2019, Sunday – Arrival of the Italian and Slovak groups

On Sunday 7th April, the two other groups (Italy and Slovakia) arrived at

Alcalá. The three groups were welcome at Residencia Universitaria Lope de

Vega by the Principal Ms. Consuelo Parra and the project coordinator, Ms.

Sara Lumbreras.

8th April 2019, Monday – First working day

In the first working day, the representatives of the four Partner Schools met

at Cervantes Square (5 minutes away from the Residence where the visiting

groups were staying), where we had the welcome from the Education city

councillor.


After that, we spent the rest of the morning knowing the city with a guided

tour: Alcalá, city of three cultures. We walked through the historical streets

of Alcalá de Henares and learnt about interesting facts related to the

diversity involving its history.

Once the guided tour was finished, the groups had free time to have lunch

or go shopping before the next activity started: guided tour inside the main

building of University of Alcalá, Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso.


The day ended with a gymkhana around the city centre, organized by the

teachers of IES Lázaro Carreter. Actually, 11 teachers were involved in its

development. The students were distributed in mixed groups of the four

countries and they had to complete a series of questions, clues and

challenges along the landmarks they had visited and been explained about

in the morning.

During this day, the students and teachers in the project were working

about the historical diversity of the city and got to learn about the

coexistence of the different cultures living in Alcalá through centuries. Also,

it was a nice way to get to know Alcalá de Henares, World Heritage City.

9th April 2019, Tuesday – Second working day


The activities started at 9:30 at IES Lázaro Carreter. Some of the groups

came by bus, some others on foot. We all met at the school Assembly Hall,

where the Principal, Ms. Consuelo Parra, welcomed our visitors and

explained what the day was going to consist of.

After that, each of the groups explained to the others the information

obtained from the surveys about diversity we had all been working on, as

well as the leaflets elaborated by each delegation. We shared opinions and

conclusions and learned about the other countries’ culture, traditions and

diversity.


Later, there was a walk around the facilities of the school, so that the

groups from Italy, Slovakia and Sweden could have an idea of how we work,

our different classrooms, gym, cafeteria, courtyard, labs, etc.

At 11:00 there was a break and the activities started again at 11:30 in the

school Library sharing a picninc offered by IES Lázaro Carreter while having

a look and voting for the best pictures in the photography contest. Two

photos from Italy and one from Slovakia were the winners.

At 12:30, all the students took part in some adapted games, organized by

the PE teachers from IES Lázaro Carreter. It was a whole success as the

students enjoyed these games a lot and they had the chance to feel as

disabled people may feel in certain circumstances.


The activities finshed at 14:00, when the groups went to have lunch and get

some rest to the Residence.

In the evening we had dinner all together in Casa Regional de Andalucía,

where the teachers and students could share some time socializing as well

as trying some typical Spanish food.

10th April 2019, Wednesday – Third working day


The activities started at 9:30 at the school library with some Spanish

students explaining the photo novels they had been working on to the rest

delegations.

At 10:00 all the students were distributed in mixed groups with

representatives from the four participant countries and they had to prepare

a short sketch about diversity in any of their possible contexts. At the same

time, the teachers meeting was held, with the objective to evaluate the

meeting as well as sharing some information about the next meeting in

Slovakia, to be held in October 2019.

Afterwards, there was a break and again a picnic shared all together. At

12:00 the students showed the sketches they had previously prepared. The

activities finished at 13:00, when the visiting groups went to have lunch at

the residence.


In the afternoon, the diversity party took place at the school. It started at

17:00 with some music and traditional food from different places brought

by the Spanish families. There were dancing performances by a flamenco

group and an ukranian group: both of them performed traditional dances

that everyone enjoyed very much.


After the dancing show, the prize of the literary contest was given to the

Italian student Ester Federico, from IIS Pertini Santoni, who had writing an

emotive text about diversity which was read aloud. Also, the GROUPS FROM

Italy, Sweeden and Slovakia organized some traditional games, songs and

dances too. It was a very special afternoon in which we all learnt a lot about

the different cultures and got to spend some relaxed time all together.


It was time to say goodbye: the students were all quite sad and looking

forward to seeing each other again in the next meeting.
