     The methodology has been active, trying to involve the participants. In some activities, only the "Erasmus children" from CEIP La Biesca have participated with the Bulgarian students. In some others, all the school has taken part.

    This way, we can achieve that all our school is benefited from this project, but we also show that is important to take part in these kinds of projects and the imporatnt benefits it has.
    We have also involved local participants of all the area. For example, some people from Biosphere Reserve, that often collaborate with the school, different people from Murias de Paredes (including the mayor), music groups from the area...
    Some parents have also colaborated in the decoration of the school for the welcoming.


    Regarding the integration of the activities with the regular classes, it is important to say that CEIP La Biesca is a small school, with only 42 pupils. This means that the normal pace of classes has changed during this week. Despite of it, we have planned some activities in which only the children participating in the Erasmus project have been involved. Furthermore, the pupils from Bulgaria have attented some classes (English and Physical Education).
