ZERO WASTE

Last February 2025, IES Canido hosted an Erasmus+ mobility in Ferrol. The participants were students and teachers from Tallin (Estonia), Bierun (Poland), Verona (Italy) and Uppsala (Sweden) together with our own students and teachers from Ferrol (Spain). We were a really large group, which was difficult to handle, but we did our best and think all in all it was a very nice experience through which everybody learnt something and enjoyed our Spanish way of life! The mobility took place from February 10th till February 14th, with a total number of participants of more than 70 people and the presence of an expert in the fields of recycling and upcycling, called Aravella Salonikidou, and a group of students and teachers from Verona who are working in professional studies in fashion.     We had a talk and several workshops with Aravella Salonikidou, which will be shown in another post, we investigated how SOGAMA (Galician society for the care of the environment, also in another post...

The visit to Sarmizegetusa was kind of a magical experience. Before starting our mobility in Romania, we had found that this beautiful place was reachable in a day with a little effort. We took our bus early in the morning and, after driving for several hours, got to the place.   To our astonishment, there were warnings of bear presence everywhere on our way up to Sarmizegetusa. A bit scared and attentive, we walked up to find out the magic of the temples and remaining constructions, which we could fully understand with the help of our guide. We recommend this visit to anyone interested in the preservation of ancient cultures and natural habitats and encourage them to help preserve them for future generations.

An important part of our discoveries in Romania was based on nature as we would like to preserve it!. This way we had the chance to visit "Pestera Ursilor" or Bears' Cave, where an extinct animal: the cave bear used to live. It was a fascinating experience to all the group as we learnt a lot about this type of bears and their habitat, which today has become a wonderful cave where you can admire both beautiful stalagmites and stalactites as well as bones from these extinct animals.     CLICK HERE to explore this beautiful cave.

This is a podcast in which four students and two teachers amongst the participants in the trip to Beius (Romania) talk about their experience with the interviewer. It's in Spanish! Sorry for that! Our group presenting our school!   LINK to the interview.

Because of flight combinations, we were lucky we could visit Budapest in our way back from Beius. This way, we could explore this beautiful city, which is Patrimony of Humanity, and get to know a bit about its peculiarities. We learnt the city is divided in two parts: Buda and Pest and there are many thermal baths, each with its own style and characteristics, which make the city attractive to the visitor even in winter.   We stayed in a nice hotel next to the Central Market Hall and the Danube and had a look around the Parliament House, the Market, the Opera House, The Cathedral and several churches, therefore, being able to understand its importance and why we should preserve it for future generations. Come visit Budapest with us. Click to have a look at the presentation.

During our mobility in Beius (Romania) we were working in international teams about the changes in biodiversity which have taken place in the countries involved in the visit. After returning to Spain, we prepared a short presentation based on the ideas worked on with our mates. Here is our presentation. Clik HERE to have a look.
