The 3rd Erasmus+ student mobility took place from October 8th to 14th, 2022 in Almadén, Spain. The groups from Augsburg, Banská Bystrica and Sterzing took very early flights to have the opportunity to visit the city center of Madrid on Saturday. Thanks to Katharina Dehner from the Fugger and Welser Museum in Augsburg, who visited Almadén with the Erasmus+ groups as part of the European Fugger Road, and who has lived in Madrid for some time of her life and offered her knowledge and experience of life in the city, the pupils learnt a lot of interesting information about the history and present of Madrid. After meeting the group from Belgium in the afternoon at the airport, the whole group travelled to Almadén by bus where they were finally warmly welcomed by their Spanish hosts.
Student Mobility in Almadén 2022
On Sunday, October 9, the students stayed with their host families although they also carried out some joint activities such as the climb to the Virgen del Castillo in Chillón, a town near Almadén. Teachers and students also tasted typical Spanish food; like for example, the chocolate with churros.
The reception was held on Monday at the center by the Director Mr. José María Villalón. In addition, the dynamics of group work that we were going to carry out was explained to all the students. After a guided visit of the bullring arena the group was received by the mayoress of Almadén: Doña María del Carmen Montes at the town hall of Almadén. In the evening, the “Fugger-Forum” with the title “Footsteps of Jakob Fugger” took place in the auditorium of the center, with the participation of experts from Spain, Mr. Angel Hernández – and from Germany – Mrs. Katharina Dehner from the Fugger and Welser museum Augsburg.
