A VISIT TO FINLAND

Our highschool has been invited by the Socrates National Agency to travel to Finland, to attend a Conference on Adult Education. One of the teachers from Melide, José Tomás, went there, and took part in the speeches, cultural visits, and so on...

He met teachers from all over Europe: it was nice to have breakfast together with a woman from Turkey, lunch with a Belgian man, and dinner with people from France, the UK or Italy. Of course the language they used was English. And, apart from work, the visit to Helsinki was fantastic. It was like a trip to a very distant place, with a different light, a melancholy atmosphere...and very nice people.

NEW SCHOOL YEAR, NEW EXPERIENCES!!

The new school year has already started, and with it came new ideas, new experiences. For instance, Nicola Brooks, a Scottish teacher, is with us, conducting the conversation classes, the theater group (WHAT'S UP THEATER)... and the famous ENGLISH COFFEE!! You can see on the picture how funny it was to practise English with a native person, and how good it was to have coffee and cake at the same time. We hope it will go on and on (remember, every 15 days).
