OUR JOURNEY AS GLOBAL SCHOLARS IN 2nd ESO - Sección

Exploring Global Perspectives and Sustainable Choices

At our secondary school, and through the 2024-25 GLOBAL SCHOLARS program, students have been engaging in exciting and meaningful projects as part of the CALATA-LIFE initiative. These projects have allowed them to connect with peers worldwide, reflect on their consumption habits, and investigate the sustainability of local systems. Here’s a glimpse into the incredible work they have done:

1. Connecting as Global Scholars

Our students have exchanged perspectives with peers from different cities and countries, including Barcelona, Madrid, New York City, Buffalo, Astana, Paris, and Mumbai. Through discussion posts, they have shared insights about their cultures, daily lives, and global concerns. Additionally, they created engaging videos to introduce their class, school, and city, offering a glimpse into their world and explaining what it means to be a Global Scholar. 📽️ 

2. Rethinking Consumption for a Sustainable Future

Students have analyzed their daily consumption habits, considering how their environment and culture shape their choices. They explored sustainable alternatives and discovered ways to make more eco-friendly decisions. As part of this project, they created a photojournal showcasing creative ways to apply the 5Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, and Recycle.

3. Investigating Local City Systems

Through research and collaboration, students have examined various city systems—such as food, water, clothing, electronics, transportation, waste disposal, and the internet. They identified sustainability challenges and proposed solutions to improve accessibility and environmental impact. Using digital tools, they designed a comprehensive guide to share their findings and recommendations.

Furthermore, they actively participated in discussions and debates with other Global Scholars, gaining new perspectives and refining their ideas. To conclude the project, they delivered oral presentations to share their knowledge with their classmates.

1º ESO - Ancient Greece

 Ancient Greece civilisation - 1º ESO

The students of 1st ESO have made some posters about Ancient Greece. The class has been divided into groups and each group has imagined that they are a team of tour guides who are organizing trips to Greece. They have researched information about different aspects of this culture such as society, economy, sculpture, architecture, mythology or education and have made posters on cardboard to advertise their tours. They have searched for information, worked in teams and improved their oral expression when defending their projects in front of the class.

Medieval cities

 

MEDIEVAL CITIES - 2º ESO (Geography and History)

The students of 2nd ESO D and E have elaborated by groups models of medieval cities from the High and Late Middle Ages. With this activity they have worked on the parts of the medieval city and the daily life of the different social groups that lived in it. The model has been elaborated during class time and then they have exposed their work to their classmates. The aim was to reinforce their capacity for research, teamwork and oral expression.
