VIII Meeting of EU Projects – School and TVET (SDB) – Grasse 2018
Des de dimecres 14 fins el dissabte 17 de Novembre hem pogut participar de la VIII trobada europea d’escoles salesianes a Grasse (França).
Durant aquests dies hem compartit experiències de projectes realitzats durant el curs passat i hem establit contactes i propostes de futurs treballs conjunts entre escoles salesianes d’arreu d’Europa.
Ens hem allotjat i treballat a una casa salesiana a la bonica i important ciutat de Grasse. Aquí teniu algunes fotos!!
Grasse és un municipi francès al Departament dels Alps Marítims. La ciutat és considerada com la capital mundial del perfum. El pintor del segle XVIII Jean-Honoré Fragonard va néixer aquí i la cantant Édith Piaf hi va morir.
Grasse aparece ya en los mapas desde la Edad Media, a principios del siglo XI, y desde el siglo XII posee una activa actividad comercial. La ciudad ha conservado la estructura urbana de esta época: una colina donde se encuentra la catedral, en torno a la cual se encuentran innumerables callejuelas estrechas. A finales del siglo XVIII, comienza un rápido desarrollo de la perfumería, que se convertirá en la base de una importante industria que ha llegado hasta nuestros días. Y todo gracias a un importante cultivo de flores favorecido por el microclima particular de la zona, entre el mar y la montaña.
Grasse has had a prospering perfume industry since the end of the 18th century. Grasse is the centre of the French perfume industry and is known as the world’s perfume capital (la capitale mondiale des parfums). Many “noses” (or, in French, “Les nez” (plural)/”Le nez” (singular)) are trained or have spent time in Grasse to distinguish over 2,000 kinds of scent. Grasse produces over two-thirds of France’s natural aromas (for perfume and for food flavourings).
Les parfumeries : étape incontournable dans la visite de Grasse. Trois d’entre elles, Fragonard, Galimard et Molinard ouvrent leurs portes au public et proposent des visites guidées gratuites afin d’expliquer les procédés de fabrication du parfum. Il y est possible de créer soi-même son parfum ou son eau de toilette et de participer à toutes les étapes de sa fabrication allant du ramassage de fleurs à la mise en flacon du parfum.
- La parfumerie Galimard, créée en 1747 par Jean de Galimard fournissait la Cour en pommades et parfums. Elle a été relancée après-guerre par Gaston de Fontmichel et Joseph Roux.
- La parfumerie Molinard présente des flacons anciens signés Baccarat ou Lalique, des séries d’étiquettes. L’atelier de tarinologie permet de créer son propre parfum.
- La parfumerie Fragonard est installée depuis 1926 dans une des plus anciennes fabriques de la ville. Son musée présente des objets rares qui évoquent l’histoire de la parfumerie depuis plus de 5 000 ans.

Jésica and Isabel df
After participating in the VIII Meeting of EU projects School and TVET in Grasse-France I have to say that I came back to my school in Badalona so happy and so enthusiastic to start doing international projects and activities!!!
I am Jésica, a teacher in vocational courses of Salesians Badalona and that was my first time in this kind of meetings and I was really surprised seeing how many international opportunities are for our students.
I hope we can propose some projects to our school and start doing something interesting with other schools around Europe in the following years!!!
There are plenty of advantatges and opportunities in Erasmus projects!
LET’S GO!!!!!
