CEIP La Rambla had the honour of being chosen to host the 36th Meeting of Schools in Valencian de L’Alacantí, held on March 24 at El Rugló Park.
By 10:00 a.m. everything was ready to welcome the public. The bar for the 6th graders on La Rambla had cokes and drinks prepared, and families and teachers from 17 schools in Alicante, El Campello, Mutxamel, Sant Joan d’Alacant, Sant Vicent del Raspeig, La Torre de les Maçanes and Xixona they had set up their workshops.
CEIP La Rambla, thanks to its AFA, offered a magnificent pottery experience with the help of Severino Boix’s workshop. For its part, the August City Council offered workshops carried out by the Labora program and reported on the offer of guided tours prepared for this special day.
In addition, the offer was completed with wooden games, the fierceness of the book in Valencian and stalls of unions, associations and the UA.
At 10.30 a.m. the opening ceremony took place. Several authorities took part in it, the president of La Cívica, Marisol Pinilla Macías, Salvador Ribagorçana Chorro from the University of Alicante, the mayor and the councillor for Education of Agosto, Juan José Castelló Molina and María de la Pau Prieto Torres, and our Head of Studies, Ana Balaguer Gómez, accompanied by 6th grade students. This year’s motto was “Fem poble, parlem valencià”, which in addition to highlighting the importance and need to defend language in the classroom, put the spotlight on the people who, with their daily activism and regardless of their origin and condition, keep it alive.
And as it was the school festival of the Valencian language, the music could not be missing with the performance of the Muixeranga d’Alacant and the Colla de dolçaina i tabal la Taranina d’Agost, as well as the concert of Marcel el Marcià.
From La Rambla we want to thank the August City Council for getting involved from the beginning in this initiative, making teamwork so easy and contributing everything in their power to make the day a success.
See you at next year!
