Our natural heritage

In Babenhausen, we have shared different videos about our Natural Heritage. In this post, you can see a video about the Bison in Lithuania. This species used to be totally extinct, but now their population has been partially restored owing to human effort.
In the second video, we can see students from Barcelona recording an interview in the Zoo with Manel Aresté, who is in charge of Reptilian and Amphibian species in the Zoo. In this interview he explains to us the EU Life program that the Zoo is doing to save the Tritó del Montseny, an Amphibian species that lives 50 km away from Barcelona and it´s critically endangered.

Remembering our past


We have here 3 videos that remember our past and that our students have created in this Erasmus+ project. The first one is about an elderly couple from Lithuania who were sent away to exile in Siberia in 1948. They are sharing their memories with Erasmus+ students. In the second video, people from Portugal explain to us their memories about the Carnation Revolution dating back to 1974. In the last video a guide from Barcelona tells us what it felt like to be in an Air Shelter while the city was bombarded in the Spanish Civil War back in 1938.
