VOLCANO SCHOOL

The first Volcano School meeting was held in Catalonia, with the participation of 200 children from schools in Barcelona and Olot.

The activity started at the Trinitat Nova School Institute in Barcelona, where the children were picked up. This school has the particularity of teaching through audiovisual productions, so the children prepared questions for the interviews that they recorded.

After a bus journey of almost two hours, the children arrived in Olot. They were divided into three groups, each group visiting a different school and a different volcanic area of Olot.

The Olot schools that participated in the exchange were: Escola Pia, Escola Volcá Bisarroques and Escola Joan Maragall to whom we are very grateful for having been part of this initiative.

The children from these schools have been studying the volcanic areas of Olot since the beginning of the year, as well as acquiring knowledge about volcanoes in the world, their environment and their inhabitants. Strong emphasis was placed on the importance of preventing volcanic risks through education and science.

Finally, the children had a meal of brotherhood and many moments to share and learn about their different realities.
