FINAL REPORT OF THE TEAM CLARINSCOLA
TOPIC CHOSEN_ Fundamentals
Know-evaluate-participate
are the three key words that have guided our actions.
To KNOW the reality of
the EU and its institutions, especially the European Parliament.
To EVALUATE what means, its historical significance, the
values that give shape to it.
To PARTICIPATE in its
democratic construction. Promote the participation in the elections.
We believe that, especially nowadays, the
European Parliament should promote policies to revitalize public adherence to
the reality of the EU. The severe crisis that some countries, like ours, is
going through is also affecting the evaluation that people make of the role of
Europe. Today the Euroscepticism is growing.
Without getting into the underlying causes that
lead to this situation and that the outgoing Parliament must address and
correct, we understand that it is presently more necessary than ever to promote
the policies that help to bring the reality of the European Union to citizens
and involve them positively in their construction. Basically, our subject is
the same as the one chosen by the Euroscola Competition.
Without losing sight of this perspective , we
have also wanted to use as a strong idea the fact that this year of elections to the European
Parliamen is also the centenary of the First World War, catastrophe with many different resonances in
Europe. This historical coincidence is very suggestive to understand and value
the meaning of the European Union.
TWO TEAMS - TWO LANGUAGES
From this approach , shared by the two groups
from our school that have participated in EUROSCOLA , and following the advice
and guidance they have given us from the communication equipment Euroscola in
Madrid, we have decided to deal this adventure with a group that has
participated in Castilian ( Puxaeuropa ) and other that has participated in
English ( Clarinscola ) . We believe that the effort made has been compensated
with the bilingual character that have had all the initiatives and materials
made. ( To see the activity of the group that has participated in spanish see http://puxaeuropa.blogspot.com.es/
INITIATIVES – MATERIALS DEVELOPED
·
THE
EXHIBITION. The main initiative has been a traveling exhibition entitled
"1914_2014. From the trenches to the polls. In memoriam, vote Europe"
is a play on contrasts between that Europe faced in the First World War and
Europe today call to vote unitedly. It is basically a call to become aware of
the very foundations of the European Union, its historical significance and its
values. And also, a way to interpellate from there and promote the
participation of citizens in the upcoming elections, all playing with the
perspective of what the youth had to live in 1914 and the clear difference to
the reality of today.

For the opening of the exhibition an inaugural
session was organized accompanied by the headmaster of our school and was
attended by the MEP Antonio Masip, what made headlines in press, radio and
television. In the session the students asked some questions to the MEP, who
conveyed his experience.

The
exhibition has an itinerant character because it was also exposed for a week in
our high school and in the three public schools nearby: CP White Schools, CP
Veneranda Manzano and CP Villafría. I want to thank the students to continue
the initiative although Euroscola competition has now ended and also appreciate
the good reception of our idea in the schools, which is also a recognition of
the work done by students.

The
EUROBUS. We have designed and elaborated an "eurobus" in which is
shown the reality of the European Union, the institutions and countries that
shape it, and it reports on the upcoming elections to the European Parliament,
encouraging the participation. The sources used are the official leaflets
elaborated by the Parliament. The eurobus also contains a participatory dynamic
game and it is set up in all the places in which the exhibition takes place.

DAY
PRO-EUROPEAN. During the morning of Saturday, 5th April, in the central
Campoamor's Square, we developed an act of promotion of the next European
elections, we distributed the official advertising of the European Parliament
about it, we set up the exhibition outdoors and the eurobus and then we elaborated
balloons and games for children. In this act we had the participation of the
Asturian Euro MP María Muñiz. We also had the support of another Asturian Euro
MP, Salvador Garriga, that finally could not come. The act had repercussion in
the press and specially across a live interview for the radio chain SER.
·
Facebook
Plataform of the group, created from the beginning of our participation, and in
which we have been hanging issues related to our activities and content of
Euroscola’s comics.
·
Twitter
platform, where we wanted to focus on European values from the legacy that
historic, plural and diverse characters have left us.
·
Instagram
plataform, we use it basically as a presentation, and to let us be known in our
school, because it’s the most common way used to communicate with our pupils.
Also the use of whatsapp fulfilled its role in this aspect at the time of
getting information.
·
Clarinscola’s
blog, in wich we have left constancy of the activities that we’ve been making and several pages were designed
to show content such as: who we are, objectives, iniciatives program and the
Europe of values. Two other pages promoting elections to the European
Parliament and Competition Euroscola linking to its website.

Cooperation
with EuropaDirect Oviedo office. It was essential, and we thank the role played
by its director, Sonia Iglesias. Thanks to her meditation the exhibition hall
by the city council of oviedo and the meeting room for the oppening day was
facilitated to us . They also provied us with leaflets promoting the elections
made by the European Parliament on April 3 and held a discussion with the
students of 2 º Bachillerato (many will vote for the first time) on the
European Parliament and the European elections.
