April 2023 -  The last day hosting the mobility here in Manresa has been very intense. We have started building sustainable solutions to have a more sustainable city using a World of Minecraft Education. After that, a group of Bat Pro students have joined us to work on Counter advertising, to think critically about the way we consume and how brands manipulate consumers.

After a short break, we have done a workshop on Upcycling. We have turned discarded objects that we would find in the rubbish into new objects with a new function. This is a very important concept to consider in a more sustainable society. To give objects a longer life and learn to consume less.

In the evening, families and students met in the school’s canteen and we enjoyed a fantastic party. We said goodbye and we gave the Lithuanian and Italian students their certificates, but we also enjoyed ourselves and we celebrated Earth Day with a Quiz and lots of music!

 April 2023 - Today we have had a fantastic day in Barcelona. We arrived after 9 and we organised ourselves in groups to start the exploration activity.

We had to go to some of the most important landmarks in Barcelona’s old district, learn about the place and take a photo following the instructions given. We had to take a photo with a police officer in Plaça Sant Jaume, or visit the Mammoth in Parc de la Ciutadella among others. We have walked quite a lot, but it has been worth it!

We gathered all for lunch at 13.30 at the Aquarium and we relaxed in the afternoon walking around Barcelona’s Marina.

At 4pm we traveled back to Manresa.

 April 2023  - We started the day preparing the Upcycling workshop that we are going to do next Friday. At 9 we left the school to go to the town hall. There, the Mayor addressed a few words to us and we were able to explain our project to him too.

After that, we walked to the Casino where the person responsible for the UN Agenda for 2030 in the Municipality explained all the actions Manresa is taking towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

We had time for a quick snack, but we were soon busy again with the SDGs Escape Room. The game consisted of a series of puzzles we had to solve in different locations in the town that were all related to some of the most important Sustainable Development Goals.

After lunch, it was time for our presentations. The Lithuanians, Italians and our students from FEDAC Manresa presented their proposals to make our towns and cities more sustainable in the future. At the end of the presentations, we had time to prepare some questions for the other countries and we engaged in a very interesting debate.

April 23 - We have had a very exciting day today. At 8 am we travelled by bus to Montserrat. There, we had an exploration activity to learn about the mountain and the monastery and we saw the Black Virgin (Montserrat).

After that we walked to St Miquel, where we enjoyed fantastic views of the valleys around the Mountain.

Coming down from St Miquel, we ate our snacks and made it to the bottom, reaching the Monastery.  We had free time until 1pm to wander around. Then, by bus, we returned to the School.

After lunch, we completed our sustainability challenges on a Minecraft world. We had to make a street lighting system more sustainable and work on a rubbish selection system among other missions. 

Having completed such a busy day, we are now all ready to hang out together around Manresa relaxing with a nice ice cream.

April 2023 / This morning we welcomed our Italian and Lithuanian partners into our school.

We had an official ceremony with music and speeches, but soon after that we took our guests on a tour around the school.

After the tour we had a lovely snack and then we had a very exciting ice breaking activity with lots of challenges to complete in teams.

After the activity we had time to hang out at the playground for a bit before lunch.

In the afternoon a group of older students showed us around Manresa. They were our tour guides and they explained the most important landmarks in town.

Later we all wanted to relax and hang out together, and we decided to go to the sports area of Congost.
