First report from visit in Lorca of Elżbieta Rymkiewicz

Hello,

My name is Elzbieta and at the moment I’m staying in Lorca as a senior volunteer.

So far I have visited   the Colegio Alfonso X where I had an opportunity to observe some lessons and talk to some teachers. It was really interesting because  I used to work as a teacher in Poland. First of all I was surprised that children at the age  of three are obligated to go to school – in Poland kids start their  education when they are six.

Next, pupils there are taught by one teacher ( except P.E. and T.E.) until they are 12 , in my country when pupils are 10 they have different teachers to different subjects.

At the Universidad Popular I could see the timetable and I like it very much – so many courses for reasonable price. I have taken  part in the sevillanas, the bachata  courses and observed how Spanish women make some beautiful carpets and pictures of wool or other materials.

The sun shines all the time, the food is delicious and work here as a volunteer is pleasure. Our coordinator Kamila helps us to get as much as we can from our staying in Lorca.
