Model United Nations project
From Friday 18th to Sunday, 20th February, a group of IB and BAT students took part in this year's Model
United Nations project. They worked with young people from around the world as delegates to discuss
diplomatic and political issues and to aim to find solutions. They developed their understanding of
how the UN works and were able to experience working in a really multinational environment. This
kind of international event is an excellent preparation for future studies and work as global citizens.
The days were long, beginning at 7am due to time distance differences and students had to adapt
to the protocols of international meetings, and understand different mindsets and political/cultural
approaches. Thanks to the BAT/IB teachers for their extra effort and support!

Taller de l'Agència Catalana del Consum
El passat 16 de febrer els alumnes de primer d'ESO van realitzar uns tallers per part
de l'Agència Catalana del Consum. El taller "Anem de compres" tractava dels diferents
elements que intervenen en el moment de triar un producte de roba o tecnologia: el
que m’agrada, el que necessito, la informació de l’etiqueta del producte, entre d’altres.
De manera que l’acte de compra va esdevenir un fenomen en què hi van intervenir
gran diversitat d’elements i en què les emocions van adquirir un paper rellevant. L'altre
taller, "On tinc els meus diners", va situar l’alumnat davant de situacions de consum
properes i quotidianes que van implicar la presa de decisions en la gestió dels diners.
Amb aquest taller els joves van prendre consciència dels diners que gestionen tant
directament com indirectament.

Cup Finals - EIC/IFCPF
The World Cup Finals of the IFCPF (International Federation for Cerebral Palsy Football) will take
place in Salou in April / May, following the previous finals in Argentina. The best men's and women's
national teams in the world will play for the World Cup and the EIC is working as a major partner in
supporting the event with volunteers. This week we welcomed Ingrid Lafuente and Carles Teixidó
from the hosting federation in Catalonia for a planning meeting with Secondary Coordinators,
continuing a partnership which began at the 2016 European Pre-Paralympic Tournament. EIC
students from ESO 4 and BAT/IB 1 will assist as volunteers with match organisation, logistical
support, translation, press and media, and will be part of a real multinational event. This also gives
our IB students the chance to complete CAS hours and of course, Community is an important
pillar of the school.
