Internet safety and anti cyber bullying workshop next 17th of May in Cheste
Cyberbullying is not a laughing matter. We should be taking this very seriously.
Patrick Fogarty runs International Workshops which deliver Workshops on Internet Safety and Anti Cyber Bullying at Schools around the world.
Since 2016 we have presented at over 400 schools across Europe, South America and parts of Asia.
The reason for the Workshops success is that they are always presented by young musicians and as a result the students really connect and take the message on board. Student Workshops are always delivered in English or Spanish or a combination of both
The content we cover is :
Safety Online
Catfishing
Social Media
Media Stacking
Consideration when using devices
Anonymity and setting up of fake accounts
Fake News
Cyber Bullying
Image Sharing / Sexting
Screen time / Dream Scrolling
The musician for these Workshops will be Harry Mold.

22nd April Earth´s Day
“Many small people, in many small places, doing many small things can change and save the world.”
“Earth care, as it turns out, is really about self-care and other-care. What we design today impacts how we live tomorrow. For better or for worse, it impacts far into upcoming generations.”

Erasmus + for teachers mobility program in Finland.
Last March some of our teaching staff had the opportunity to observe first hand and particicipate in a job shadowing and a teaching practice exchange in Finland, learning from one of the best educacional systems in the world.
We set the base for future cooperation programs for both students and teachers exchanges in Vocational Studies. We discussed ways to start up and organize future exchanges in both directions.
Our visited OSAO Vocational School in Muhos, one of nearly 10 units in Oulu, one of the most important cities in the north of Finland.
The teaching staff welcomed us in a very warm and attentive way, and it meant a very rewarding, interesting as well as multidisciplinary experience at a profesional level, and we got impressed and delighted with the personal attention we received from the whole team there.
We hope to continue building this bridge between our schools.
ECA keeps moving forward.

Rural Women empowerment
Historically, rural women are powerful, strong and purposeful women who are deprived by the circumstances of abuse, inequality, and lack of opportunities. These challenges have hindered their personal development, economic empowerment, and community leadership.
Rural women make a quarter of the world’s population.
‘rural women are the invisible mainstay of community resilience and sustainability.’
Rural women are key contributors to agricultural production, food security, climate advocacy, enterprise, and citizenship.
Sadly, the active contribution and the effort of rural women are not recognized and their full potentials underutilized.
When women have empowered they, in turn, contribute to their family’s income and become active change leaders in their communities.
Mujeres rurales:
la desigualdad múltiple
La discriminación que relega a las mujeres, se multiplica cuando hablamos de la mujer en los entornos rurales. Digo mujer en singular, porque pese a su diversidad es su condición de mujer, la razón de su discriminación. Y digo en los entornos rurales en plural, porque sean cuales sean las particularidades del mundo rural en el que viven, en todos ellos los indicadores de discriminación se disparan y se agravan, todavÃa más si la mujer es una persona migrante.
El desequilibrio se expande y se multiplica: tasas de desempleo más altas -por encima del 40%-, brecha salarial por encima de los 400 euros al mes, porcentajes inferiores de presencia en los órganos de decisión y/o responsabilidad, total asunción de las tareas de cuidados que redobla la adhesión al suelo pegajoso, indefensión ante la violencia por la mayor dependencia económica y los menores recursos de intervención, y por encima de todo la invisibilidad de las mujeres en un entorno predominantemente masculino y envejecido.
Es esa invisibilidad, la que obliga a marcar un dÃa en el calendario para abandonar las justificaciones y reconocerlas como vÃctimas de un sistema patriarcal, para avanzar en el empoderamiento emprendido por las federaciones y entidades de mujeres rurales y acompañarlo de polÃticas activas que refuercen el trabajo y agilicen las soluciones.
The video shows in practical terms how we use our capital mandate to empower women. We use our capital mandate to unlock public and private finance for the poor. The last few years have seen the articulation of new development agendas that are shaping and reinforcing the importance of this work.

World Environmental Education Day Date in the current year: January 26, 2022
World Environmental Education DayThe issue of environmental protection and education is so important these days that World Environmental Education Day is celebrated more than once a year. The World Environmental Education Congress (WEEC) holds the observance on October 14, but many other environmental organizations celebrate Environmental Education Day on January 26.
The results of all our efforts to keep the environment clean will be short-lived if we don’t pay enough attention to environmental education. Environmental education is a multi-disciplinary field that aims to teach individuals and communities how people can manage behavior and ecosystems to live sustainably. In other words, environmental education is designed to teach us how to live in harmony with nature and reduce human impact on the environment.
The modern environmental education movement gained international recognition and significant momentum due to the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment that took place in Stockholm in June 1972. At the 21st plenary meeting of the Conference, the so-called Stockholm Declaration was adopted. The document contained 26 principles concerning the environment and sustainable development. One of the principles was “Environmental education is essential”.
The main task of World Environmental Education Day is to emphasize the importance of environmental education as a scientific discipline that pays special attention to the social dimension of environmental problems and focuses on creating the awareness, knowledge, skills and motivation to address, solve and prevent these problems.
What is sustainability? In this video we show you what sustainability is, its origin and its importance to try to achieve a global well-being of the present and future generations.

Is it possible to avoid climate change? Climate change is a global challenge that has no borders and to combat it requires coordinated work by all countries. Many people do not know what it really amounts to, either due to unreliable sources or deliberate misinformation, which has led to a series of myths about climate change. In this video we tackle the subject from an objective, scientific viewpoint, discussing the causes and consequences of climate change and how it should be tackled.

El documental 'Netejant la terra' d'Anna Girbau.
Anna Girbau i Ferrés es pedagoga y trabaja como profesora en la Universidad de Vic desde hace dieciséis años.
Ahora hace un año, cofundó la Asociación ecologista La Vall Verda (@lavallverda), donde personas voluntarias se dedican a limpiar el entorno natural al tiempo que promueven la conciencia ambiental, sobretodo desde la vertiente educativa.
Dice: "Con esta voluntad filmé y edité un documental titulado "Netejant la Terra" (Limpiando la Tierra) también en las versiones subtituladas en castellano e inglés. Este documental ha sido presentado en diferentes festivales nacionales e internacionales y ha obtenido una gran repercusión y reconocimiento.
Mi idea, pero, es que el cortometraje sea de visionado libre y que a quién le interese lo pueda ver y difundir".

Permaculture is giving you some important advice with music...listen to it!

If you work all day from nine to five
And come home feeling half alive
And never see your kids and wife
Then I've got news for you
There's no point doing what you do
Unless it's somehow good for you
You've got to get a result or two
In the form of something real
If you're feeling stressed and not the best
And have trouble finding happiness
Well here's one thing I will suggest
Obtain yourself a yield
Obtain yourself A yield
sustain your energy
Don't drain yourself
Maintain yourself
Obtain yourself a yield
See, money's not the only yield,
You could be making a bigger deal
about what you eat for your next meal
you can't run on an empty tank
Ignore the stash of cash in your pocket
Just make a salad with home-grown rocket.
You just have to go out back and pluck it
No need to go to the bank.
You gotta work your days for stuff that pays.
In not just money, but in many ways
It's time you cleared away the haze
And obtained yourself a yield.
Obtain yourself a yield
Of something you can eat
You can produce
Some things of use
With your own two hands and feet.
Obtain yourself a yield
Right in the here and now
Make sure to earn
Something in return
Here, let me show you how.
If you're feeling sleepy
Then go and have a sleep
If you feel like there's
Not enough air,
Then breathe in very deep
If you're thirsty then you oughta
Get yourself a drink of water
And if it's gonna be cold
And your feeling bold
You could shear yourself a sheep
In any given moment
There's everything you need
Just look around, it will be found
Then obtain yourself a yield.
Obtain yourself a yield
Take only what you need
Life's pretty fun when you're getting' some
But there's no need for greed.
Obtain yourself a yield
And one for others too
Make sure to seal both ends of the deal of what's good for both of you
An easy way to do it is to give one to your friends
Cos the good things you do come back to you
And the yield just never ends.
