COMENIUS A BARCELONA: EUROPEAN SCHOOL NETWORK Project 2011: Teenage values
Carme Duran
EUROPEAN SCHOOL NETWORK (ESN) PROJECT: The ESN project is a new approach to learning. We think that not only it will enhance your communication skills, but it will also broaden your horizons and understanding of international affairs. Additionally, we believe you will enjoy working with and learning from new European acquaintances.
Dear students,
The first project “Teenage values” has just finished and we are going to proceed to evaluate it these days at Mestral School, in St. Feliu de Llobregat. You have been awarded to participate in the evaluation meeting of “Teenage values” together with two more students from the other schools. So we’d like to congratulate you for the work you’ve done and to thank you for your contribution with the oral presentation that you will deliver on Thursday afternoon in front of the ESN members, at the meeting centre Palau Falguera.

PARK GÜELL
Etching by Sergi Castignani , 2005
This park was designed by Antoni Gaudí, the most prominent Catalan architect of the new style that appeared by the end of 19th century through the industrialised countries in Europe. In Catalonia, this style was called “Modernisme”, whereas in other places it took different names, such as “Modern Style “ in Scotland or “Art Nouveau” in France. Mr Güell, a very wealthy patron who commissioned most of Gaudi´s buildings, wanted to build an urbanization inspired by the concept of the garden city that had already been developed in Great Britain, like Letchworth Garden city. Mr Güell asked Gaudí to design it on top of a hill of Barcelona, far away from the busy streets of the unhealthy industrial city. Unfortunately, the wealthy families of that time didn’t appreciate Gaudi’s wild artistic ideas, so they didn’t want to live there an eventually, it became a public park.
