Literary Contest and World Book Day


According to some experts Cervantes, Shakespeare and Garcilaso, three of the most important writers in the world, died on a 23rd of April. This is why we celebrate it every year buying a book for our loved ones together with a rose, following an old Catalonian tradition. And speaking about traditions today is England's National Day. It is St George's day fighting the dragon.Yes, the same legend that they have in Alcoi during their 'Moors and Christians' festivals, and again the same Sant Jordi i el Drac celebrated today in Catalonia.
We wish you a ROSE full of letters today. This year, the World book and Copyright Day will be celebrated worldwide in the framework of the International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures too.

LITERARY CONTEST
“HERO OF WAR”

“The S.I. Engine” Comenius Project.
SCHOOLS TAKING PART IN IT:

*Gymnázium LIPNÍK NAD BECVOU (Czech Republic)
*Bródy Imre Gimnázium AJKA (Hungary)
*Collège Sismondi, GENÈVE (Switzerland)
*IES Campanar. VALENCIA (Spain)

The high quality of all the finalists’ writings, which were submitted by the 5 schools, has made it really difficult to reach an agreement on which one would be the best.
The topic “Hero of War” has been presented as a poem, letter, tale, short story, diary entry and essay. Interpretations have also been different, fighting soldiers, ghosts from the past, cancer, pollution, sexism or getting aware of our ancestors’ suffering, of personal experiences and of disabilities.

IES Campanar celebrates next week, as every year, UNESCO World Book Day on the 23rd of April with different activities and the names of the winners below will be read and a certificate will be issued with their respective awards. On the other hand, most of the writings by these or the other finalists are already being exhibited in the hall of the school for the students, teachers and parents to read and enjoy.
