Please find below the European Schools that I have visited:
Italy
ITAS "P. Scalcerle" Padua
http://www.istituto-scalcerle.it/
I arrived in Padova Italy to be greeted by coleague and friend Ornella Fortuna. Ornella introduced me to the students at ITS Scalcerle who had decided to make a short film in Italian with English Subtitles.
Students discuss their dreams hopes and concerns for the future.
Padova, is an ancient town close to Venice in Northern Italy. It's history is long and its people passionate about their ancestory and their culture. I was made to feel most welcome by the people of this region, and was very well fed with a selection of traditional fayre from the northern region of Italy, stuffed artichokes, polona, pasta, wild herbs and mushrooms, superb seafood incuding octopus and shellfish all washed down with a herbal liquer passed down through the cenuries.
For those of you traveling to Venice, a visit to Padua (Padova) with its streets and buildings, that meander you back through time is well worth the visit. ITS Scalcerle has linked to Wales on various projects over the past few years and produced some interesting results:

Spain I.E.S Virgen del Espino
http://www.v-espino.com/index.php
I.E.S Virgen del Espino is situated in the Spanish city of Soria. The school is a secondary school that offers english as one of their languages.
The school offers a varied curriculum, in addition to academic subjects the school has a workshop teaching skills and handicrafts from the past. I was given a guided tour of their woodworking shop, their construction area, their manufacturing area, their technical drawing and computer aided designs . Their craftwork was superb and goes to show that the skills from their heritage continue well into today.
I was given a hand crafted box made by the students, expertly engraved with not a nail or glue in sight. So Diolch yn fawr Guys - Grasias !
The students I met were enthusiastic about a new project that they had designed, they had decided to make and bury a time capsule in the school ground to be opened in 2033 in 25 years time.
The time capsule contains letters that the students have written to themselves to be opened in 2033. The "Dear Me " letters contain their hopes, dreams and concerns for their future and the studnets have promised to return in 25 years time to open the capsule and re read them along with a diary describing the students as they are in 2008.
The students also placed articles of importance into the time capsule and explain in the film what they have chosen and why. It was an interesting couple of days sharing the memories, dreams and hopes of these students, looking not only to their immediate future but to a quarter of a century away.......
The students plan to return in 2033 to open the box and to see if they realised their hopes and dreams. They have invited me back to the opening and even though I will be a "very " old lady by then I have promised to return ......... So 2033 Soria here I come !
Los Doce Linajes Soria Spain
Los Doce Linajes is a bilingual primary school in Soria Spain. The children start school at 3 and are immersed into both Spanish and English at an early age. English permeates throughout the school, not just in language lessons, but in music, history, geography, science and physical education. The school day runs from 8 in the morning until 8 at night and they have recenly introduced a Saturday School.
The quality of the children's work can be seen throughout the school in wonderful artwork and displays . They are keen to make new friends in which to extend their knowledge of english and would love to recieve emails or postcards to the school from a variety of places around the world as you can see in their film.
I was met with dozens of questions about my journey and I was impressed by the children's knowledge of places on my route. The children have invited me back in 2009 to tell them tales of my journey and have promised to throw me a party to celebrate the my return and the completion of around the world in 80 schools. An offer I cannot refuse ! : 0 )
