I'm glad to be able to share another initiative from the European Club. This time it was a very interesting conference entitled "20 years of the German Reunification". It took place at the library of Escola Secundária Fernando Namora, on 10th November, at 10h 30 min. Our honourable guest was Doutora Mº Fátima Gil, Vice-President of the Faculty of Languages from the University of Coimbra.
Previously, the members of the European Club prepared a temporary exhibition at the pupils leisure site and at the library of our school, in an attempt to prepare the conference. This exhibition was made up of Portuguese and German books and magazines, coloured cardboards and magnified photographs of some important events that took place between 1949 and 1990.
One class of the 9th grade and another of the 12th grade participated in this conference as they are studying the themes of the Second World War and its social, economic and political consequences. They had the chance to learn with an expert on this matter, who knew how to present facts in an interesting and motivating way. There were moments of deep silence and even some laughs when they heard about the grotesque and eventful lives of the German people during these years. From the dramatic escapes to the "unexpected holidays in Hungary! Final destination: West Germany. And finally the day of the celebration and get together.
Here you have the photo reportage made by Alexandra Santos (12ºC) that I used to put this slide show together. Enjoy it!
