2nd GOOD PRACTICES EXHIBITION (SAN CRISTÓBAL DE LA LAGUNA)
On 5, 6 and 7 November 2020, the 2nd ARISBAE Best Practices Exhibition was held at the Santo Domingo Convent in San Cristóbal de La Laguna. The works were shown to the general public, participating teachers and collaborating entities in the Erasmus+ for Adults ARISBAE. The contents of these didactic proposals dealt with the theme of Erasmus+. The main purpose is that they serve as examples to be put into practice by the partner centres, collaborators and all the on-site and virtual participants.
The work of some thirty institutions was on display: schools, libraries, educational administration, cultural and artistic entities. In this exhibition they could see the aspects that are worked in the Erasmus+ ARISBAE, such as: the treatment of INCLUSION, how to improve the BASIC COMPETENCIES, the use of COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION technologies, the use of the ARTS as a fundamental tool in the educational process, the use of COMPETITIONS as participatory elements of the whole school community, LUDIC activities as motivating and integrating elements, LIFELONG learning, examples of ERASMUS+…
We would like to point out that in times of pandemic, the activity had to be adapted to the regulations imposed by the health authorities. As it was held in a very large convent and we had the entire venue at our disposal, we used the Sala de Cristal (with a capacity for 52 people) as a room for the presentation of the work of the participants. As it is a room with large windows on the left side overlooking the cloister and large glass doors on the right that open onto a garden, this meant that there was an outside audience who could hear the presentations. In 4 other rooms, the work carried out by ARISBAE members and collaborators was exhibited. During these 3 days, the general public could follow the activity from their homes.
The exhibition was visited by hundreds of people, as the fact of being in the Convent of Santo Domingo, located in the historic centre of the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna (World Heritage City), helped to enhance their visit.
