St Albert the Great College, Valletta, once again embarked on another adventure in their EEK (Euro Eco Kids) Comenius Project. This time, Carmarhten, Wales was the destination.

The main focus of this visit was to further instill a positive attitude towards diversity, and also develop an awareness of European Environmental issues and lifestyles; we, as staff, share good practice and also try to improve language and I.T. skills in the students.

Following lovely class visits and wonderful live entertainment, another meeting was held so as to discuss another detailed plan for the coming scholastic term. Suggested activities for this term are: creating a pen-friend club, singing or dancing to a song that focuses on the environment. This song should be ideally sung in each country’s native language.

We had time to interact with the students in the classrooms. We were also taken round to visit some of their most prized landmarks, and also to sample local delicacies such as cawl.

A typical Welsh night, celebrating St David (Wales patron saint) held at the Town Hall, complete with traditional costumes, folklore music and dancing was another experience one couldn’t easily forget.

This meeting was truly an unforgettable experience for students and staff alike, and we cannot wait to start the exciting activities we planned.
