25TH NOVEMBER, INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.

Since the pandemic began... 

45% of women reported that they or a woman they know has experienced a form of VAWG.

7 in 10 women said they think that verbal or physical abuse by a partner has become more common.

6 in 10 felt that sexual harassment in public spaces has worsened.

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devasting human rights in our world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, and stigma surrounding it.

This violence continues to be an obstacle to achieving equality, development, peace as well as to the fulfillment of women and girls´ human rights.

On this International Day, the colour orange is used to represent a brighter future, free from violence against women and girls´.

We must educate our students to raise awareness and sensitize them to this problem in order to create a fairer and more balanced future society.

PADDINGTON JOINS THE QUEEN FOR TEA FOR HER PLATINUM JUBILEE.

More in common than being British icons!

"A wise bear always keeps a marmalade sandwich in his hat in case of emergency."

 In February Queen Elizabeth II became the first British Monarch to celebrate 70 years of service to the United Kingdom. To commemorate this achievement, the UK is throwing a Platinum Jubilee lasting from June 2-5 with public events and parades to honor Her Majesty. One very special guest even received tea with Her Majesty! On June 4 Paddington Bear sat down with The Queen to share a calm before the excitement of the Platinum Party at the Palace, the massive concert held outside of Buckingham Palace. The sweet British bear even brought The Queen a marmalade sandwich!

A video posted to YouTube allows us a peek inside the palace as Queen Elizabeth hosts an intimate tea party for herself and Paddington Bear, who we can only assume is an old friend.

 GONNA BE OK!, BRENT MORGAN

 PEACE AND NON VIOLENCE SCHOOL DAY

Spanish teacher LLorens Vidal proposed the school day for peace and non-violence on 30th January, a fact recognised by the United Nations since 1993. 

Seven years ago I discovered this video in which technology made it possible to mix Lennon with anonymous and diverse voices. Today I think it is a good occasion to remember it.

Take care of everything around you and you will help create a better world.

Happy School Peace day!

Here is also a delightful animated short film that allows us to appreciate how the power of happiness is in our hands...we just have to want it!

And here you are, our English project to celebrate this special peace day. In the pictures you can see part of the tedious process. My grattitude to all the students,especially to María for her idea with the sentence in the banner PEACE MEANS and Alba, Héctor, Ismael & Antia ( 3º ESO Desdobres) who helped me to cut out and decorate the school to finish on time. You are absolutely amazing!
