Legend website wins European Award

The website http://www.serpentmanlleu.cat/ set by students of Institut Antoni Pous i Argila from Manlleu has won the “best content” prize of the Dot Awards. 

The aim of the awards is to reward the students who build attractive and efficient websites.  This edition of the prize received entries from France, Belgium and the Catalan speaking areas.

The five students who built this web page played an active role in the Comenius project meeting in Manlleu last April.  The website - focused on the tale The Serpent of Manlleu - is another product of the work with legends which takes place in the schools involved in the project.

Manlleu meeting (IV): Activities and visits

As in the previous meetings there were a lot of visits and activities planned in Catalonia:  A visit to Barcelona, a visit to the market in Vic (in persistent rain).  There was also geocaching and some games and activities with computers.  Finally there was some food and dance in the farewell party.  Probably one of the highlights of the meeting was the performance of the project song:  The Land of Fairy Tales by all participants.

You can see some of these activities in this link.
