CRAFTS 1rs YEAR OF ESO. SNEAKERS

  The 1st year ESO students, in artistic processes, have been making their own shoes. To do this, they have calculated the shape and size of the shoes by first making the cardboard insole and also the upper part. Then they have chosen different fabrics for their design. They started by hand sewing the parts of the shoes and then finished them with the sewing machine. Using the sewing machine offers ample opportunity to practice foot rhythm coordination (will), manual dexterity (feeling), and attention (thinking).

CLAY 2nd AND 3rd YEAR OF ESO. WHAT IS THE ETERNAL IN YOU?

The period of biology has been the source of inspiration for this process of modeling with clay, and in a broad way, the vital forces that model concave and convex shapes in a harmonious dialogue, reflected in the human face and head. The novelty and challenge has arisen from the technique used to create the heads, created from a hollow shape that is modeled from within, to bring out the elements of the face. Each modeled head is different in its expressiveness, and its countenance carries a message. Transcending the physical, we ask; What is eternal in you? What is eternal in me? In this way we finish the process in an artistic-poetic environment that gives us profound answers.

JOANA SOCÍAS. ENGLISH LITERATURE IN SECONDARY EDUCATION

My name is Joana Socías and I was born in Mallorca. After an intense year of study, I have just completed a Master's Degree in Secondary and Baccalaureate Teacher Training with a specialization in Foreign Language Teaching (English). In addition, I have a degree in Audiovisual Communication from the European University of Madrid (2001), a degree in Political Science from the Complutense University of Madrid (2005) and a Master's degree in Art, Culture and Literature from the Open University of Catalunya (2019). I am also doing the Postgraduate course in Holistic Pedagogy in Sa Llavor and this will be the fourth year that I will be accompanying secondary students. Next week we will begin the unit of The power of words (English literature) with the 2nd and 3rd year secondary students. At the end of February, I will be with the 1st year secondary students where we will study the first explorers of Africa and Asia. So that you can get to know me a little better, I worked for four years in a newspaper in Madrid and for three years I was a freelance journalist in Kenya (Africa). I have written two books and I am very passionate about reading, languages and words. I feel very lucky to be a part of an educational project like this.

NEASC PREPARATORY VISIT

This week Fundació Sa Llavor hosted a two day visit, as part of our ongoing NEASC accreditation process by two professionals: Kevin Glass and Stephanie Packer.   It is the second visit we have hosted so far, and an important step, as a positive result would allow us to be formally recognised by NEASC and would mark the beginning of an ongoing partnership with their organisation.   We are delighted to report that, although we still await a formal written approval (to be received over the coming weeks), we were assured by both our visitors that the outcome would most definitely be a positive one. In fact their feedback was so wonderful to hear that we felt we should celebrate and share some of what they said with the learning community right away. Stephanie told us that in just two days, she had been able to see just how the schools core values and identity are reflected in our students calm and confident attitudes, our teaching staff's natural and friendly relationship with the students, as well as in the wonderful and unique learning environment we have created. That she could feel peace and stability and a true sense of community. Kevin then added that despite having visited hundreds of schools in the past it was truly rare to see one with such clear values and ongoing dedication to a shared belief of what learning should look like. He went on to say that he had no doubt the remaining criteria for full accreditation was mostly already obvious to him and that it would just be down to the pedagogical team to highlight and evidence it over the coming months.   Needless to say, we are delighted with such high praise from two professionals who are dedicated to evaluating high quality learning experiences. We would also like to say a special thanks to all the parents and students that took part in the interviews and request your continued support in an information gathering survey we will be sending out in the near future.   NEASC's accreditation process is a transformative process designed to offer their schools opportunities for self reflection and ongoing growth. It includes a commitment by the schools they work with to develop 10 learning principles, offer and commit to an individualised definition of High quality learning and then produce several learning plans to help grow each school inline with its own ethos.   If you would like to find out more about the ACE pathways, please visit https://www.neasc.org/ace

FUNDACIÓN SA LLAVOR IN THE “BINISSALEM CIUDAD EDUCADORA” PROJECT

The Sa Llavor Foundation is very happy to announce that we have joined the support committee of the Binissalem "Ciudad Educadora" project. For this reason, we are going to take part in some of the activities that will be held over the next few weeks to commemorate the Universal Day of the Rights of the Child (20 November), the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25 November), and the International Day of the Educating City (30 November), as part of the programme of events to be held in Binissalem as an Educating City.   But what does the "Ciudad Educadora" project consist of? This project stems from the International Association of Educating Cities (IAEC), which the municipality of Binissalem joined in 2016. The mission of this organisation is for education to become a tool for social transformation through four fundamental axes: The population should be able to enjoy lifelong learning in all areas of daily life. That diversity and inclusion be guiding values in each of the educational actions carried out, recognising the great wealth that these values bring to the community. Citizen participation is promoted, involving the community in education-related decision-making, and generating a network of collaboration between all the agents and sectors involved to improve the quality of education. To encourage sustainable development by promoting educational practices that take into account respect for the environment and social responsibility.   This project strengthens the community's ties of union with an educational purpose that aims to be implemented in all spheres of life; objectives that are perfectly in line with the educational principles of the Sa Llavor Foundation. And we are particularly excited to be able to participate in a community project of such magnitude, because our original impulse, as an educational community, also tends towards that social transformation that can only be carried out hand in hand with the educational processes of teaching-learning.   With great gratitude for being able to collaborate in this beautiful local and international initiative, we hope to nurture with flourishing seeds this space for meeting, dialogue and action that is unfolding before us, so that integral qualitative education becomes a basic right of all human beings and the engine of transformation towards a more harmonious, respectful, co-responsible, supportive, peaceful, loving and more connected to life society.   AGENDA OF ACTIVITIES OF BINISSALEM EDUCATING CITY. As part of the commemoration of the World Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women:   - Wednesday 22 November: 19h. Dramatised reading of texts by authors who write about the implications of being a woman, by Magdalena Sbert. At the Sa Llavor Foundation. To facilitate attendance at this activity, there will be a service of respectful accompaniment for children aged 3 to 11 years by Crea-ti-vida: Personal and Family Care Centre (Registration for this service via WhatsApp at the following telephone number: 687775112).   - Friday 24 November: 9:30h. Workshop on artistic processes with natural materials for painting, wool and clay modelling, aimed at different
