Our students in Diputación with our Comenius partners

We are pupils of Al-Andalus High School, from Arahal (Seville). Our project was started by other students from our town and from Paradas too.
Arahal is a town that is about 45 km from Seville, where olive factories have been being the most important sector for decades.
Because of that, our high school has visited some cities (Madrid, Seville, Granada…) and explained all about olive and oil for at least 20 years.
During 1st to 5th of November (2009), some students of our high school travelled to Seville, because of an event that took place in this city.
In this event, people from a lot of different places came here and we were there to explain all we have learnt along this Year. Because of there were a lot to say, we divided our work in two stands. On one hand we talked about the olive and its picking; on the other hand we talked about the most known product form olives: the oil.
We had to explain to a lot of people of all ages, but we couldn’t make a mistake, because there were people who knew so much about olives.
We were visited by our Polish, Turkish and Hungarian friends form our Comenius project “In the shadow of trees”, so we had to explain in English to be sure they could understand us.
For our explanations, we used some information and tools that our partners from last years had made with hard work (an olive press-machine, a big olive model, a pond for throwing wastes from olives’ production model, some games…)
Now, we are getting ready to visit some more places for showing everybody how interesting oil is.
