ANALYSIS OF: Values

In general, in ours experiences we talk about a lot of values that we have learned in the school like respect, cooperation, generosity, humility... But we didn’t relate it to the work in class, all of us talk about “extra” activities out of the routine class in which we worked this values, like special festivities or trips.

On the one hand, Cristina say about her school: “All the years, we celebrated the week of solidarity, we did different activities related to solidarity like a solidarity race or “operación bocata” (we paid 5 euro for Panamá and we ate a sandwich)”. We all did something like that in our schools, but not in an all week, the others schools choose just one day, solidarity day and this day we made some solidarity things. But we think that this idea is better than in our schools because just one day is not enough to learn one of the most important value, like is solidarity.
On the other hand, Paula talks about her activities on secondary school to work on different values: “All the first days of school, we talked in class about the different values that we wanted for us and we chose one of them, the one that class most needed, so we worked the all year with this value to improve it”. We like that initiative because with it, all the partners of the class work together to improve them self.

Finally, we want to relation this issue with the relation between kids and teachers, because we think that if we have a close relation with teachers, talk not just about the different subjects, we can learn about different values, or better said, life lessons.
