The Marist School of La Pintana invites us to get to know the initiative that they are developing together with the Marist School of Badalona, Spain, as part of the Global Champagnat Network and the Centre for Marist Studies of our Sector.
What happens if you bring together a group of young people from Badalona and Chile? That’s what we will discover in the project “Comedia sin Fronteras”, promoted by the Marist School of La Pintana, Maristas Badalona and CEDEM Maristas.
The exciting project will bring together 16-year-old students from Badalona (Spain) and Chile, who together will create an online audiovisual production between students from both countries, addressing various social issues through theatrical scenes, with the aim of valuing and recognising linguistic and cultural convergence and divergence through artistic expression.
The initiative, promoted by teachers Marcela Peña, Génesis Reyes, Lorena García and Mónica González, will initially focus on issues related to linguistic diversity, exploring topics such as anecdotes on public transport, school experiences, family relationships, dating, social networks, social icons, politics, sports, gastronomy, fashion and aesthetic references, among others.
This week our first students had the experience of meeting with a group of Spanish students, after overcoming the challenges of connecting and communicating with their peers, who are mainly fluent in Catalan, the execution of the project began and the first steps for the Stand up comedy that they must build together and present in their schools.
This project not only promotes creativity and artistic expression among students, but also fosters cultural and linguistic exchange between young people from different parts of the world. Through collaboration in the creation of audiovisual content, participants are expected to strengthen their communication skills and intercultural understanding.
We are very proud of these initiatives that promote dialogue and collaboration between students from different countries, reaffirming its commitment to global education and cultural exchange.
This project is one of many that are being promoted globally and in our works that allow young people to explore and share their perspectives on the world around them, bringing the Marist Global Network to life. We will share more news of this project with you soon!
