OUR INITIATIVE

For the first time Vetusta team participates in Euroscola. We started with nervousness and fear but as time passed these emotions were replaced by happiness and hope seeing how a blank blog was being filled with different activities that we carried out. Activities, which often involved feelings and emotions that are impossible to put into words.

Our initiative focuses on women throughout the history. It doesn’t only involve talking about European women but also represents the difference that exists between them, in the 21th Century. Women that in our opinion seem to live in worlds that on one hand are so different and similar on another.

The final objective of our initiative was to represent the importance of the European woman with all the advantages and liberties that she possesses. However representing the difference between two worlds so different, to a group of teenagers that only seem to be attracted by the technology world, turned out to be a difficult task.

We spent long hours trying to come up with interesting, fun and educational activities that represented the problems that different communities face. After several weeks of hard work and dedication, our greatest achievement seemed to be, seeing our classmates and staff getting touched by the interview that we had with two amazing dedicated Saharawi women, Ebbaba Hameida and Fatma Brahim Salem Jatri.

Our initiative required the participation of different departments from our school, such as the History, Audiovisual Culture, Philosophy and English Department. Therefore we would like to take this opportunity to thank them again for all their support and hard work! Also thank you to Ebbaba and Fatma for dedicating some their time to us and last but not least to Euroscola for teaching us to appreciate everything we have.

Women represent progress and this is what we wish to see reflected throughout the world.

FREEDOM IS DREAMING AND DREAMING IS FREE
