EUROSCOLA: making of (2017)

Here you have the video of our making of...

 

•  First we did a brainstorming with ideas and we were worried about Brexit, refugees crisiis and our future. 
• Then we designed a storyboard on the blackboard with a storyline. The plot will be given by the concepts of generations we have learbt in class.
• Next we created the outfits and make up to dress according to the decade and we will hold a sign with a set of values of the EU. We also incorporate the cap and flag tehy sent us from the Office Europe Direct.
• After that we recorded and edited the video, choosing the music and effects and solve problems for uploading.
• Finally we will share it in our school blog as well and local media in Badalona like the Radio marathon.

¡Aquí tenéis el vídeo del making of! Aquí teniu el video del making of!

STORY LINE - STORYBOARD


They say it's a dark time... but we can see the stars shining and we know there will be a new tomorrow. Parallelism: night=hard times for UE (Brexit, refugee crisis, economic crisis...); hope= stars (in the painting and in the flag).

Fashion (casting and dressing/make-up); 
cómo vestirnos y maquillarnos según la década que representemos (desde 1957)

2000	Anthony (Nigeria)	Baseball cap Trendy sporty	LIBERTY
2010-Now	Anchu (Nepal) and Xi (China)	Ethnic Multicultural Welcoming	We are the values of the EU (written)
Final	Kevin (Spain)	European cap EU flag Poster “Volem Acolllir”	We are the values of the EU (spoken). + Volem acollir (we want to welcome refugees… Spaniards had to flee when the Civil War (1936)… now it’s them in Syria and other countries. We want to help and can help. People might pass along but we must stand out for our values.

EUROSCOLA 2017: Keeping EU values!

EXPLANATION. We have worked on the concept of generation and applied it to the 60 years since the Treaty of Rome in 1957: from the Silent Generation of the 50, the babyboomers, the Generation X, the Y of the Millennials and the Z ). Each one of us maintains a value and represents a decade in the form of dress: the sober ones, the coloring of the 60s and social activism (hippy aesthetics); The 80's (punk); The 90 (Eurodisney); The 2000 and 2010 with multiculturalism and the present: with the refugee crisis and the Brexit we believe that it is worthwhile to go back on foundational values ​​to face the future in a positive way: that's why we turn back, we go to the stars of The EU flag (thanks to Europe Direct office) to the "étoiles" of Van Gogh, a reference of European painting, as the Big Bang of the joint project. We look to the future wanting to use values ​​to practice and therefore the message-in Catalan: Volem acollir = we want to welcome, many are foreigners, others from here, and together we want to make a better world. Like the dancing miracle of the artist's stars dancing in the sky despite the night... We can be these stars in the EU despite the hard times.

 CASTELLANO
Hemos trabajado el concepto de generación y lo hemos aplicado a los 60 años transcurridos desde el Tratado de Roma en 1957: de la Silent Generation de los 50, a los babyboomers, la generación X, la Y de los Millennials y la Z (la nuestra). Cada uno nde nosotros mantiene un valor y representa una década en si forma de vestir: los sobrios 50, el colorido de los 60-70 y el activismo social (estética hippy); los 80 (punky); los 90 (Eurodisney); los 2000 y 2010 con la multiculturalidad y la actualidad: con la crisis de los refugiados y el Brexit creemos que vale la pena volver atrás en los valores fundacionales para afrontar el futuro de forma positiva: por eso damos marcha atrás, vamos a las estrellas de la bandera de la UE (gracias oficina Europe Direct) a las "étoiles" de Van Gogh, referente de la pintura europea, como Big Bang del proyecto común. Miramos al futuro queriendo usar los valores a la práctica y por eso el mensaje-en catalán: Volem acollir= queremos acoger;muchos somos extranjeros, otros de aquí, y juntos queremos hacer un mundo mejor

Email from Senegal:

Dear students,

We have visited the SPER school in the outskirts of Dakar. The taxi driver didn't know were it was exactly but he then told us that he knew the cook at the center! When we arrived, Mr Carvalho and the kids welcomed us, they were very polite. Mr Carvalho showed us the facilities of their school: they have a kitchen, a patio, several bedrooms for the kids and a classroom were they have a small bookcase, three big desks and some chairs and a blackboard. He tells us that kids here arrive voluntarily, through different activities they carry on in the streets. Each of them carry sad stories but they are free to explain them or not. In the SPER (Solidarité pour les Enfants de la Rue) they are devoted to help these children, give them shelter, food and education. So you are actually collaborating beyond education.They are in touch with La Puponnière so they will be so kind to deliver the baby materials and toys to them.

They were really happy to receive your contribution: notebooks, pens, colored pencils.... are very much needed here, as well as clothes. They also loved the footballs! So they really thank you from the bottom of their hearts and send you lots of love. Their smile is the best present we can have.

Here you have some pictures from Senegal, people here is very cheerful, nature is impressive and the Pink Lake... is really pink! Hope you were here. In a way you are (look at the walls!).

Best wishes and congratulations for your hard work

Humberto Burcet

ESO3: EURO-SCOLA CONTEST INSPIRATION: BE CREATIVE!

lip dub _ SES Badalona from amb E on Vimeo.

Once you have finished reading the comics, watching the videos and checking the links is time to read the posts on Facebook and Tweeter because there is a clue for one of the 12 questions you will be asked in the final contest (worth 50% of the points!). 

This done, is time for you to be creative! Each group of 10 has to create a blog and feed it with your progress as far as your projects are concerned. Remember that the general topic is the European Union, and the specific one for 2014 is the European Election on May and their campaign "Act. React. Impact".

BLOG: Two members of the team will be in charge of creating the blog. Choose a design, a name (you can use your Team's name), and write your first entry: an introduction to your team members, your school, and your motivations. Include a picture and describe what you have done so far! "We decided our name... We read the comic and played the characters... We watched the videos and discussed the links...". For the blog: www.blogger.com. Check the blogs made by your 4th ESO colleagues in 2013 here and their campaigns: Swaggers,

• 112: http://simplepeoplebdn.blogspot.com.es/
• Volunteering: http://2getherwearemore.blogspot.com.es/2013/04/editing.html
• Videogames: http://skinnersbdn.blogspot.com.es/2013_04_01_archive.html
• Social Security Card: http://swaggersbdn.blogspot.com.es/

These instructions can help you. We will divide the timing in three phases, like in a real campaign: pre-production, production and post-production.

PRE-PRODUCTION:

Firstly, the team has to do a brainstorming of ideas: WHAT topic you are going to deal with, and WHY the aspect you have chosen is important to promote. You can find your inspiration in the comic/videos/links mentioned before.

Secondly, you have to decide HOW you are going to do it. Here you have some ideas: posters, videos, short film, comics, radio programs, survey, stopmotion animation, musical show, lipdub... for example, look at this lipdub on the right... can you organize something like this?:

Thirdly, yo have to plan WHEN and WHERE are you going to do it. This is a matter of organization. It is also important to know WHO is going to do what: director, actor, writer, camera, designer... And if you want to get the help of other people or organizations. Check this: http://ec.europa.eu/spain/barcelona/index_ca.htm

PRODUCTION:
This is when you actually shoot, record, cut, draw, play, write, or direct what you have planned. Remember to include your progress in your blog.

POST-PRODUCTION:
This is when you show your output to the world. Apart from your blog you can post in in the school''s blog, La Rotllana, the local media (TV, radio, press...), social networks, etc. Think BIG!

Good luck!

Here you have what the winners did last year. And also some more inspiration!

ESO3: Euro-scola projects and 9th May-Europe's Day

OK guys, I am very glad of your work. The four teams have been working really hard on their campaigns for the promotion of the European Union. They have focused on aspects that caught their attention and thought of a creative way to reach their goals. The process has been long but fun: reading comics and watching videos about the EU origin, values and services; deciding on a project; brainstorming ideas; being creative; working together; sharing their work... and now seeing the results!
Check all the groups and their different projects through their blogs (click on their names). They are spreading the word of their cause so if you like it, link their project and make others aware of it:

• 1. Swaggers (ESO3-B). Project on the European Health Card. Main output: poster.
• 2. Skinners (ESO3-A). Project on the PEGI symbols for Videogames.Main output: poster.
• 3. Simple People (ESO3-B). Project on the 112 Emergency Service. Main output: video.
• 4. 2gether we R + (ESO3-A). Project on Volunteering. Main output: video.

During Europe's Day, taking into account the values abovementioned, all groups will join forces to celebrate the event and they are already working on three activities:

• a. Common display with posters about the EU, institutions and official campaigns.
• b. Football match as a re-enactment of a European countries mini-league during the break.
• c. Music concert of our 3rd ESO students playing the anthem of the EU with their recorders, xylophones and the keyboard under an exceptional conductor: Sílvia Ríos.

We hope you enjoy this great day with us!
