HEALTHY FOOD WORKSHOP
A healthy life begins with having healthy habits in all aspects of our daily life but above all those related to eating habits. That is why in this workshop the importance of eating fruit and vegetables was explained to the students. Its benefits for our body are innumerable and, they are the best allies to prevent diseases. Rich in vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, etc., they help us protect the heart, they have a lot of fiber, it is satiating, they are often suitable for diabetes, they regulate the intestine, they activate the brain. They also help us lose weight, eliminate toxins, can help us fight anxiety, stress and insomnia, favor the immune system and improve blood circulation.

The students and teachers participated in the dance workshop. The benefits of dancing for our physical and mental health are many. From improving our psychomotricity to improving our mood to moving to the rhythm of the music to remove stress and anxiety and, above all, to raise our self-esteem after the effort made and the good results obtained.
SOLIDARITY WORKSHOP
The HOSPITRAN ASSOCIATION (Fuerteventura hospital clowns) informed us of the great work they do on our island. They encouraged students and teachers to dedicate some of their time to help in any type of association since being a volunteer not only helps other people but also helps us to grow as people and to put ourselves in the place of the othe. In addition, the smile and the laughter are always the best medicines.

Nothing better than a percussion workshop to train our brain to concentrate and to coordinate our body with rhythmic movements. Besisdes relaxing we also had a great time.
