Complementary activities for vibrant and participatory learning
At Torrent Adult School, we are committed to a holistic education that goes beyond the classroom. That’s why we offer a wide range of activities linked to the school’s curriculum, designed to enrich learning and encourage active student participation.
Among these initiatives, we highlight the quarterly screening of films for first and second cycle groups, followed by group discussions to foster critical thinking and collective dialogue. We also organize concerts, cultural visits to museums, and guided tours to deepen heritage knowledge, along with English-language theatre performances that engage students and encourage playful language practice.
In addition, we promote craft workshops aimed at developing linguistic skills, written expression, creativity, and critical thinking. We also host social events that support inclusion, social cohesion, and respect for diversity.
All of these activities help create a motivating, inclusive, and globally minded educational environment—where learning becomes a rich and transformative experience.
FIPA
On Thursday March the 19th, the FIPA students from the Adult School of Torrent took part in an enriching visit to the Silk Exchange Guild College of Valencia, where they discovered the history of the silk guild and admired the beauty of this emblematic building, a symbol of Valencian artisanal splendour. The experience was very interesting and allowed them to gain first-hand knowledge of a fundamental part of the city’s cultural heritage.
Afterwards, they visited the exhibitions at the Valencian Museum of Illustration and Modernity (MuVIM), where they enjoyed a variety of stimulating artistic and cultural proposals.
It was a very complete day, full of learning and good moments, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
FIPA
The FIPA students took part in a field trip to the Prehistory Museum of Valencia, where they participated in the workshop “You Tarzan, Me Jane”, focused on reflecting on gender roles in the context of March 8. The activity was completed with a visit to the Valencian Museum of Ethnology, where they were able to learn about different aspects of Valencian culture and traditions.
Conference–Workshop: HOW TO PREVENT AND PROTECT OURSELVES FROM DISASTERS – MARCH 4
Within the framework of the activities for the week of March 8, the school organised a conference–workshop with Carmen Grau, an expert in disaster management and a researcher in Japan. The session, held at the Casa de la Cultura in Torrent, addressed the importance of prevention, preparedness and public awareness in the face of emergency situations.
The activity provided an opportunity to reflect on current challenges related to natural disasters and the role of the community in protection and response to these situations.
THEATRE IN ENGLISH
Last March 31, an English theatre activity took place, where students from the English workshops and the ESPA Afternoon and Evening groups were able to enjoy a very special experience. We were joined by the performance of the British actress Grace, who, with a brilliant and humorous interpretation, managed to engage the students, turning them into the protagonists of the play.
The activity revolved around a mystery: a mysterious package addressed to “the brilliant minds of the class” arrived in the classroom with different clues (a letter, a will, newspaper clippings, a photograph, a script, and various objects). The Chillingham Paranormal Society asked for help to solve a crime at Chillingham Castle, one of the most haunted places in England. A ghost was causing trouble in the village, and only by discovering who murdered him could he find peace.
Therefore, the students had to recreate the events and try to solve the mystery. If they succeeded, they would become honorary members of the society.
A fun, participatory, and very enriching activity!
GUIDED TOUR AROUND TORRENT
On March 24th and 25th at 5:00 p.m., FIPA students and Spanish learners for foreigners from CPFPA Torrent enjoyed a guided tour around the city of Torrent.
The activity, organized and led by the Cultural Association Heraclia, gave them the opportunity to visit some of the most emblematic landmarks: the Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, the exterior of Torrent Tower, the Horta Sud Regional Museum, Trénor Garden, and the Holy Week Museum House.
A very enriching experience to learn language and culture at the same time!
