Looking for architectonic hindrances

The final outcome of this year's project was the map of Premià de Dalt that you can see below which highlights the architectonic barriers that elderly people can find on their way around Premià de Mar. The map was taken to the Town Council so that they could take it into account and improve our town.

They were spotted while we took some elderly people from the Elderly People's Home for a walk. Some of them were on wheelchairs or medical walkers so we could check how difficult it is sometimes for them to move around the town. 

Look at the pictures below and you will see some examples of problems we came across during our walk from the Elderly People's Home to the cafeteria where we took them to have something to drink, chat and spend a while together. Young and old really had a good time sharing experiences and anecdotes.

Scottish air in our school


After being twinned with Glasgow we were really looking forward to having a Scottish experience at home. This is why we got in touch with David Vivanco, a scotsman who took a piece of his homeland to our school. He played a bagpipe, he sang some beautiful traditional Scottish songs and the funniest thing of all, he taught us how to dance some Céilidh dances.
If you want to see how well we managed to do it, have a look at this link: Un tast d'Escòcia a l'INS Valerià Pujol i Bosch
