Exchange Uden-Barcelona 2011: National Geographic Wednesday

vrijdag 11 februari 2011

National Geographic Wednesday

Today we went to visit Codorníu, a winery, and to Sitges. In Codorníu we got a guided tour and went in to the basement, where all the bottles of wine are. From the outside everything looked very luxury, but from the inside everything looked much older. It was a very beautiful place.
Then we went to Sitges to visit the beach, which of course is very beautiful. We were lucky
that we had such nice weather.

Individual assignments

Individual assignments for exchange students

Each student is expected to write and deliver a report about his/her personal experiences with the exchange. Every day four students write an article for the blog. Each group focuses on a different theme but all groups write about the differences as well as the similarities between both the Spanish and the Dutch culture.

The collective report (minimum of 300 words / maximum of 500 words, head – title, date, writer) is sent to the supervisor by e-mail before the deadline. The supervisor will then upload the report to the blog by the end of the day. This way the supporters at home will be able to stay updated with our daily activities.

Theme A. The Insider

Here the focus is on social behaviour of both the Spanish partners and their families. Describe how Spanish people behave and why. How do they behave in a group compared to the Dutch students? Share an interesting story about your Spanish partner or one of his/her family members. How do Spanish students get along with the Dutch (and vice versa)? Tell something about the family with whom you stay.

Theme B. The National Geographic

Here the focus is on the Spanish environment. This includes nature, architecture, arts, historical sites, etc. What does Spain look like? What historical things are there to write about? Describe the insides and outsides of the houses and buildings you visit.

Theme C. The European Times

Here the focus is on the Spanish culture. How do Spanish people live, work, study, entertain themselves? What is different compared to your own culture? What is similar? Describe the foods and the what is popular. What is school like in Spain? Write about the educational system.

Theme D. The Photographer

Take at least 5 photographs that can be published on the blog.
