"Nature Voice Project" in Spain seeking partners from Bergen, Norway

By Francisco Requejo Domínguez, Teacher - Coordinator Nature Voice Project, Sagrado Corazon School, Ferrol - Spain.

I´m a teacher of “Sagrado Corazón” School in Ferrol (Spain). We  participated in the Nature Voice Project :  “Our estuary, rich, rich”. All the pupils , from elementary   to secondary, 662 in total, will participate in this project  coordinated by the  teachers. The objective is that our pupils discover through a variety of activities, designed specifically for each age group, the history, the wealth of  the landscape , the flora and fauna of our estuary in Ferrol and the coastal ecosystem of our Atlantic coasts, and to work towards it´s recovery and developments.



We would like to extend our project to an international level.We feel that there are already many links between Ferrol and  Norway. Our idea is that our school could be twinned with a Norwegian school situated, if possible, on the coast or near a fiord. As we think the pupils  in secondary education, who already know the English, could  communicate through post or via  e-mail to exchange information about the estuary and the fiord. They could  compare the differences in  origin, morphology, flora and fauna, customs of our people, etc. We believe this would enrich our teaching methods and the  formation of  respectful values for different cultures and environmental protection.

We would be very grateful if a  school in Bergen (Norway) that  would be interested in taking part in this ambitious and educational project.

From the editor: If you happen to be from Bergen, Norway and if you are you interested in cooperating with this spanish project you can write to Francisco Requejo Domínguez on the e-mail - fjrd<AT>edu.xunta.es.
