Mobility in Finland

We've come come to Barcelona after a week in Kalajoki, in Finland. The experience has been wonderful, of course.

We've been a group of 11 teachers and 15 students, sharing our views and preferences on foreign language learning learning.

As a result of the mobility, I've started to encourage students to record themselves talking and send me the videos with Google Drive or Youtube.

The Finnish team is here!

Sergio made this nice welcome poster.
Yesterday , the Finnish team arrived at the airport of Barcelona, Terminal 1 at 20:25. After greeting each other, all of us drove to La Llagosta in the parents' cars.  

Today, it's free time both for the Finnish teachers and hosting families. It's not going to be a sunny day, but there're plenty of activities to do in Barcelona.
