headmaster of Ies Lucas Mallada
These days that
xenofobious parties are taking positions in our European elections,
those who believe in a united
Europe, and are conviced that difference
makes us better, must give example with our ideas and actions.
Aragón
has always been the land for diversity, and when the central state tried
to stop it with the expulsion of Jewish and muslims expulsion in the
14th and 15th lost its egemony in the Mediterranean.
Our
school is an example for diversity. 13 students from different countries
are living with us with no more difficulties than those students of
their same age and has always had an European vocation. Our students are
living the European reality. But we don't want an Europe united just for
economic reasons. We want the Europe of the different cultures. We think
Europe with its different regions and nationalities must have its voice
heard. The better we
Guillermo,
Headmaster, and some of our Inter
national students
know the better we will understand us and the
better we understand the better we will tolerate and integrate. For one
week we have had the possibility of meeting people from other countries,
Slovenia, Poland, Italy and we have learnt we have some things in common
and some different. We have admired slovenian beautiful countryside,
polish handcraft italian art…. And of course, the most important,
people. We are all part of the same Europe we want to build. Let's hope
next generation sees a strong , diverse and rich Europe
