MEMORIES FROM GAZIANTEP
Durante los días 21 al 24 de febrero, alumnado y profesorado
del IES ALHAKEN II de Córdoba, ha participado en el encuentro Erasmus + “ECO
THINKING FOR ECO LIVING “que ha tenido lugar en el instituto ANADOLU LISESI de
la ciudad turca de Gaziantep.
En las jornadas de trabajo el alumnado ha hecho sus
presentaciones sobre 4Rs( Refuse, Reduce, Recycle and Respect ) y ha podido
visitar plantas de reciclado ecológico regionales que contribuyen a la mejora
del Medio Ambiente. En el plano cultural, tuvimos la posibilidad de visitar el
Museo Zeugma con sus increíbles mosaicos romanos, la ciudad de Halfeti donde
navegamos por el rio Éufrates, así como el impresionante sitio arqueológico de
Göbekli Tepe donde se encuentra el templo más antiguo del mundo.
WORLD TREE DAY 2022
National Tree Day
Planet Ark's National Tree Day started in 1996 and has grown into Australia's largest community tree planting and nature care event.
It's a call to action for all Australians to get their hands dirty and give back to the community.
While every day can be Tree Day, we dedicate celebration of Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day to the last Friday in July, and first Sunday in August respectively.

Information for students about Kópavogur
Kópavogur (Icelandic
pronunciation: [ˈkʰɔuːpaˌvɔːɣʏr̥]) is a town in Iceland that
is the country's second largest municipality by population.
It lies immediately
south of Reykjavík and is part of the Capital
Region. The name literally means seal
pup inlet. The town seal contains the profile of the church Kópavogskirkja with a seal pup
underneath.
Kópavogur is largely
made up of residential areas, but has commercial areas and much industrial
activity as well. The tallest building in Iceland, the Smáratorg Tower, is
located in central Kópavogur.
Kópavogur is historically significant as the site of the 1662 Kópavogur meeting.[3] This event marked the total incorporation of
Iceland into Denmark-Norway when, on behalf of the Icelandic people, Bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson and Árni Oddsson, a lawyer, signed a document
confirming that the introduction of absolute
monarchy by Frederick III of Denmark-Norway also applied to Iceland.
Kópavogur is also one
of Iceland's most prominent sites for Icelandic urban legends about the huldufólk;[4] it also features in this capacity in the 2010
film Sumarlandið, where the stone Grásteinn is portrayed as an elf-house in the Kópavogur
municipality.
An independent
township, Kópavogur is adjacent to Reykjavík.
Kópavogur is twinned with:

Ammassalik,

Mariehamn, Åland Islands,
