Do people of similar age but different origin have common memories?

Each partner school was assigned one of these topics: school, economic activity/food, free time and family/migration. Students prepared a questionnaire related to the topic they had been assigned. They interviewed elderly people and each partner collected all the answers to the topic they were in charge of. Then, they compared the answers from the four countries and prepared a presentation explaining the conclusions they had come to.

Meeting Frankfurt April 30th

De vuelta a casa

     Este viaje ha sido una experiencia única que me gustaría mucho repetir. Además de trabajar en el proyecto y mejorar nuestro inglés, hemos hecho nuevos amigos alemanes, franceses e italianos con los que seguiremos en contacto a pesar de la distancia.

     Tanto los profesores como los alumnos nos acogieron con los brazos abiertos y nos trataron muy bien. Lo que más me gusto fue poder ir a clase en Alemania y conocer las diferencias que hay entre su instituto y el nuestro.

     Creo que lo que menos nos gustó a todos fue que nos tuvimos que ir justo cuando nos estábamos conociendo más los unos a los otros. Si tuviera la oportunidad de volver a viajar a cualquier otro país de intercambio sin duda lo haría.

Back home!

     This trip has been an experience that I would love to repeat. Not only have we worked in the project and improved our English, but we have made new German, French and Italian friends we will keep in touch with in spite of the distance.

     Both teachers and students received us with open arms and treated us really well. What I liked best was the opportunity of attending some of the lessons and observe the differences between the German school and ours.

     I think what we liked the least was that we had to leave just when we were beginning to know each other. If I had the chance to take part in another students' exchange, no doubt, I'd do it.

Meeting Frankfurt April 29th

     El viernes nos desplazamos a Assmannshausen, una pequeña ciudad a orillas del Rhin, desde donde iniciamos un paseo atravesando viñedos y bosques de abedules, mientras contemplábamos unas vistas espectaculares del río y del valle. Por la tarde, se celebró una fiesta de despedida en la cual pudimos degustar diversos platos preparados por las madres y padres de los alumnos.

     On Friday we set off for Assmannhausen, a small town on the banks of river Rhin, from where we started a 9km walk through the vineyards and forests with spectacular views on the valley. In the evening, there was a farewell party with all the host families.

 

Meeting Frankfurt April 28th

     Este día estuvo íntegramente dedicado a trabajar en otra de las actividades del proyecto. Los estudiantes, trabajando en grupos formados por miembros de las cuatro nacionalidades, elaboraron un informe que reflejaba las conclusiones del trabajo que habían realizado durante los meses previos.

     Students spent the whole day working in another activity project. They worked in mixed nationality groups and elaborated a report which contained the conclusions of the work they had carried out the previous months about the old photographs.

 

Meeting Frankfurt April 27th

El miércoles disfrutamos de una visita a la ciudad de Frankfurt, a pesar del frío casi invernal que tuvimos que sufrir. Después de hacer un recorrido por el centro histórico, pudimos entrar en calor durante una travesía en barco por el Río Main a la vez que contemplamos unas bonitas vistas de la ciudad. Más tarde fuimos al Ayuntamiento, donde fuimos recibidos por uno de sus concejales, el Señor Muñoz del Río, que hablaba un español perfecto, puesto que es natural de Segovia. También estuvo presente el Cónsul español en Frankfurt, nada menos.

On Wednesday we enjoyed a visit to Frankfurt historic centre, in spite of the almost wintry weather we had to endure. Fortunately, we could warm up during a cruise along river Main as we watched some beautiful views of the city. Later, there was an official welcome at the Town Hall, where we were received by a member of the magistrate, Mr. Muñoz del Río, who spoke excellent Spanish as he was born in Segovia, a town close to Valladolid. The Spanish Consul in Frankfurt was also there.

Visita al MPIBR – Instituto Max Planck de Investigación Cerebral. Una visita que fue realmente interesante, si bien es verdad que algunos de los conceptos que se trataron fueron un poco complejos (la optogenética, por ejemplo). No obstante, las actividades que tenían preparadas captaron la atención de todos: echar un vistazo en el microscopio a unas láminas de cerebro de ratón y observar el hipocampo, manipular jeringuillas y micropipetas en un ambiente estéril, ver imágenes de neuronas teñidas de diferentes colores para permitir su estudio a través del microscopio…

A visit which was interesting indeed, even if some of the concepts the students had to deal with were a bit complex (optogenetics, for example). Nevertheless, the activities that the young scientists had prepared captured everybody's attention: watching through the microscope thin layers of a mouse's brain and identify the hippocampus, handling syringes and pipettes in a sterile environment, observing images of neurons dyed in different colours so as to enable their study through the microscope...
