European Citizen's year (The contest)

Hi everybody!
We've got some bad news for you. The thing is that we are finishing school (just 2 days left), so aren't going to write here more, but don't be sad because in this entry we are going to explain you the last activity we did at school. So get ready!

The thing is that we are taking part in a contest. Many people over the Basque Country are taking part on it. We thought it was a good idea to take part because the price for the winner is really interesting, a trip to Brusels for some days to see the city or the capital of the European Union. The project that we are preparing consists on doing different activities to show that we are european, because some times we don't feel so. This year is the european citizenship year so our work is focused on the citizens and our rights.

The work was divided in 6 part but we were both in different groups. Each group did a different activity.

First I'm going to explain you what I did (Itxaso). I had been working together with Ane and Lorea. We had to do 3 interviews to an european English native speaker that now is living in the Basque Country or someone that is Basque and had gone to another european country to work or study... Finally, we chose 3 people. 2 of them where from another european country (Niamh from Ireland and Bobby from England) the other was the cousin of a classmate, she is from the Basque Country but she went to study abroad. I did personaly the interview to Niamh and I had the chance to gossip a lot. She told me she came here to work because she wanted to live here as her boyfriend is from here. I ask her 3 questions about her experience but and I record the voice with my mobile. I've got such a bad luck that when I arrived home I realised that the record was awfull, so the wrote what she told me in a paper and then I traslated it to Basque and Spanish. Ane did a similar thing with Bobby, but now he is living in England so they did the interview by email. Lorea didn't get anyone to do the interview, so she put the voice to the recording interview, in Basque and Spanish I mean. I wanted to put here what I did but the blog tells me that it isn't possible, so if someone wants to see what we did, look in the blog of Ane and Lorea.

That was all, now Maddi is going to explain you what she did.

My work was completely different (Maddi). Its not very complicated and its easier to explain it. I worked with Maddi and Andrea! We did a presentation about the main rights that we have being european citizens and the objectives of the citizenship.We had lots of difficulties to do it because at the begining we could not find information related with  the subject but finally we achieve some information and we did a beautiful presentation!
