ACTIVITIES WITH GERMAN STUDENTS
Another special activity of Democracy, citizenship and migrations is to know other students. We have been in touch with german students, who are going to travel to Barcelona.

ACTIVITIES WITH FAMILIES
In the kindergarten we also made activities related with migrations and citizenship. We wanted to know more about our students culture. We invited the families to our school. They liked the idea very much, and they proposed to make traditional activities of their country. Children, families as well as the teachers enjoyed very very much the experience!
