Grandmothers' route for freedom and love in Education, un álbum en Flickr.

The art of story-telling with the "PADRINES", the grandmothers who are going from village to village on a horse and cart to raise awareness and show their support for the teachers and for a quality educational system in which FREEDOM, LOVE, and RESPECT are fundamental. Thank you to Xisca Tous, Catalina and Antonia, retired teachers in ACTION...all our love and best wishes for your journey.

I LOVE THE DIGITAL ERA VERSION....( one day...)

C.I.Y digital style

My favourite concept is C.I.Y and not just because I created it  myself in my book
 " Fashiona Belle" to sum up the King of Crafts , Kevin Carton and his highly ecological and creative philosophy to life but also because it  is a concept that is ever present in my teaching and teacher training work. My aim is to inspire teachers to create their own resources and give their pupils a chance to develop creativity too.  With this amazing tool DIGITAL CREATIVITY is possible with a couple of clicks....CLICK and CREATE, or cre8 and click....
click , create, CLICK for an example of a meograph  made by a teacher on the topic of plants and photosynthesis. I hope to follow in her footsteps and start creating my own very soon!

Work in Progress-Art Course in Melilla

Friday afternoon training course in Melilla.
As well as the usual 35 hour week teaching in school,  teachers in Melilla worked an extra 30 hours in their free time on a very intensive training course on Bililingualism and CLIL.  This is the last part ( ten hours) on Art, Story-telling and Projects in English and the effort, interest and dedication of the teachers is truly amazing. Both Borja and myself would like to say a big thank you to all of the teachers for their hard work and enthusiasm and to Ana, the course coordinator of the CPR for inviting us to deliver these training sessions in Melilla.
