Erasmus+ Week at Sant Josep School: A Celebration of Art, Respect and European Friendship

 Erasmus+ Week at Sant Josep School: A Celebration of Art, Respect and European Friendship

Last week, Sant Josep School in Navàs hosted an unforgettable Erasmus+ mobility as part of the project Art Unites Us: Shaping Europe with Artificial Intelligence. Students and teachers from Italy (Isernia and Bòvio) and the Azores joined our 6th graders for a week full of learning, cultural discovery and meaningful connections.

From the very first day, our guests received a warm welcome with community-building games and gift exchanges. Throughout the week, students enjoyed a rich programme combining art, outdoor learning, multilingual communication, cultural traditions, teamwork and European values.

One of the highlights of the mobility was the creation of a large collaborative mural about Respect, designed with the guidance of illustrator Valentí Gubianas. Students shared ideas, painted together in mixed international teams, and turned one of our playground walls into a powerful visual message representing unity and European values.

The programme also included traditional Catalan dances performed by our primary students, a Sardana workshop led by experts from Navàs, a cultural treasure hunt around the town, and an exciting day of outdoor learning at the riverside of Ametlla de Merola. Students learned about nature, the environment, birds and respect for the local ecosystem while working together across countries.

Another unforgettable moment was our Farewell Dinner at Local Sant Genís, where families, teachers and students from all three countries shared food, music and cultural performances. Catalan families prepared typical dishes and even challenged our guests to try local traditions such as drinking from the porró or tying the espardenyes.

The week ended with a cultural trip to Barcelona, where students visited Las Ramblas and the Sagrada Família before saying goodbye at the airport.

This Erasmus+ experience helped our students grow as European citizens, develop communication skills in different languages, work cooperatively, and discover the importance of respect, diversity and creativity. It was a week full of emotions, friendship and learning that will stay in our hearts for a long time.

BIRD BOXES WORKSHOP -

 

Nest Box Workshop – Outdoor Learning Activity

As part of our eTwinning project “Flying Free: Birds Know No Borders,” our 5th-grade pupils took part in a nest box workshop organized with the support of the Navàs Town Council. A team of wildlife experts visited our school to teach students about the importance of biodiversity, local bird species and how nest boxes can help maintain ecological balance.

We learned about three insect-eating birds that live in our area — the European robin, the great tit, and the short-toed treecreeper — and how they help control pests such as caterpillars and aphids.

In groups, pupils built five nest boxes and later installed them outdoors:
• The great tit box was placed in the olive tree at the school entrance.
• The other boxes were hung in different mulberry trees around the town.

This was a meaningful outdoor learning experience, combining science, environmental awareness, and teamwork. We will share our reflections with the four partner schools and revisit the nest boxes in spring to see if they have been occupied.

A wonderful way to learn, create, and take care of nature!

Vedruna Sant Josep Navàs in Istanbul : School leaders and eTwinning ambassadors

From 8–10 November 2025, head teachers, school leaders and eTwinning ambassadors from all over Europe gathered in Istanbul for the Professional Development Workshop “Shaping Stronger Schools through Skills for Life and eTwinning.”

During the event, our school’s ambassador Fina Vendrell presented the case story “eTwinning as a Leadership Tool for Transformation,” highlighting how eTwinning can serve as a powerful tool to promote shared leadership, teacher empowerment, student engagement and community collaboration.

The workshop included plenary sessions, round tables, and inspiring case studies, offering valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and build future partnerships with European schools.

We return enriched by new perspectives and motivated to continue shaping stronger schools through collaboration and European values.

THROUGH ARQUITECTS' EYES

 This is how we imagine a world of beautiful houses, 

some of them big, 

others small,

some rectangle and some round, 

but important is not the shpe,

the colour or the size,

it is what it is inside!

OUR FAMILY, WATER, FOOD, PEACE, BOOKS, A BED, LOVE, ... AND MUCH MORE!

3 eTwinning projects = 3 NATIONAL QUALITY LABELS

 We feel so happy to announce that we got 3 national quality labels for the 3 projects of school year 2024-25

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE PROTAGONISTS OF SUCH INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES!

CELEBRATING THE EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

 We celebrated the European Day of Languages with the song " an anthem for the European Day of Languages". Students of grade 6 performed the multilingual son " Voices of Europe" with a short part in Catalan. This is an amazing way to give visibility to the great cultural power speaking languages is and the best way to show to the world that learning many languages unites us among all the European countries.

 

This is the VIDEO with all the European collaborations and languages!
