00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.010
.

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.990
It's about a king who has a son and loves cherries, but doesn't know how to bone them.

00:00:22.990 --> 00:00:31.060
Then that king sends a magician to invent a formula to stone-thaw the cherries.

00:00:31.060 --> 00:00:37.020
Tells him he'll need three months and not to be disturbed.

00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:42.700
Then the king after a month goes and says to him, "Is this how you study the magicians?

00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:48.980
killing flies?” “Yeah, it helps keep him out of trouble”.

00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:55.580
He goes to the second month and finds him smoking a pipe, “That's how you magicians study?

00:00:55.580 --> 00:01:01.260
smoking a pipe?”. And he goes and says, "yeah, that helps us focus”.

00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:08.120
And the third one says to him, “Look, here you have the wand, a wand that bones cherries”.

00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:15.440
And the king sends his farmers to bring a box of cherries, but they tell him that there are no more left.

00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:20.800
That there are no more cherries left and they can no longer be made. The moral there I think is

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.660
that you don't have to be impatient to do whatever you want.

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:28.420
Are you impatient?, sometimes.

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:33.020
GUILLÉN PROJECT

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:41.740
COLLEGE MINTE MONZÓN (HUESCA) / SPAIN. LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.880
On the last day we do so a little party, with water balloons and so on,

00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:53.920
and indeed he was there, but he was sick, he couldn't play and it was very strange on him to watch him play like that.

00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:04.300
He started in the third grade with a stomach ache, and then in the fourth... he stopped coming to class.

00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:12.300
I have images that come right away and I do have the image of seeing him sitting on a bench,

00:02:12.320 --> 00:02:16.780
crying because he can't go out to do the final year performance, I have that image...

00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:24.060
right here. They were all in disguise, they were all there and he didn't come out because it hurt so much.

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.700
We had to go down to the hospital three times, the first time they ruled out appendicitis,

00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:33.180
they gave him a painkiller and we went home, the second time they did an X-ray,

00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:39.000
they discarded... we were told it was a colic, a colic, gastroenteritis.

00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:46.740
When he was in third grade, he complained of stomach pains for several days,

00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:54.260
he complained, he complained, but apparently the doctors couldn't find anything.

00:02:56.040 --> 00:03:01.140
The next time we went to the pediatrician and she sent us directly to emergencies

00:03:01.540 --> 00:03:05.740
and we weren´t suposed to leave the hospital until the pain was gone.

00:03:06.260 --> 00:03:10.780
And well... On that occasion they didn't give him any painkillers or anything else,

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:16.280
and we were seeing how the child was falling in a tailspin for hours.

00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:20.120
A candle fading asway, that was Guillén.

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:33.720
And then, when we were supposed to be discharged, the pathology results came back,

00:03:33.940 --> 00:03:39.640
on July 1, and they told us it was cancer, that it was cancer.

00:03:41.820 --> 00:03:44.220
And that he should start the chemo.

00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:51.440
It was very hard, very hard, it was a sledgehammer.

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:04.040
When I found out that Guillén was not going to return to class and I know why,

00:04:04.540 --> 00:04:10.440
since the first thing I thought was that I didn't want Guillén to stay out of the classroom,

00:04:10.440 --> 00:04:15.000
I wanted Guillén, even though he wasn't in the classroom, to keep in touch with his classmates,

00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:21.120
I wanted it to be the least hard for a process that it was already going to be hard.

00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:26.380
So, I wanted to try to help because what I knew was that I couldn't do nothing.

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.940
He told us that Guillén had a disease

00:04:29.700 --> 00:04:34.600
and that we could help him to learn better,

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:40.920
s it could also help him lift his spirits, which would help him feel better.

00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:45.720
Were you good at school?

00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:53.020
Yeah... no... more or less.

00:04:53.820 --> 00:04:58.940
Something that was initially dramatic and that was a very difficult situation,

00:04:59.260 --> 00:05:03.980
because I remember. The first day in class, when you arrive,

00:05:04.760 --> 00:05:09.000
the children begin to comment between them... Guillén whatever...

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.060
sure, you know it but you know that they know more than you.

00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:18.340
“Who's that?”, ”Us!” “Ah, ok.

00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:21.740
Hey, girls, come on in!”

00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:27.520
He suggested that we could help him understand the classes while he was gone,

00:05:27.960 --> 00:05:34.100
and we could also go over them ourselves.

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:36.160
The king couldn't get up.

00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:39.980
My whole body hurts as if a Persian cavalry trampled on me.

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:40.080
If you don't bring me the inventor of pitted cherries tomorrow, I'll have you punished.
My whole body hurts as if a Persian cavalry trampled on me.

00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:45.860
If you don't bring me the inventor of pitted cherries tomorrow, I'll have you punished.

00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:50.540
And with the stripe on top, that would be 10000.

00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.480
I didn't know Guillén much more than I knew any other student.

00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:57.020
I knew all the students.

00:05:57.100 --> 00:06:00.680
It was Javi who contacted us and told us, “Hey, look, I have a problem,

00:06:00.760 --> 00:06:04.060
the kids are very unmotivated and I have come up with this idea, what you think abou it.”

00:06:04.780 --> 00:06:09.120
How are you going to say no, how can I not agree that you help my son

00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:14.960
and that he can continue with his education and not be disassociated from the school , right?

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:19.840
A phrase from a volunteer who came there from Aspanoa helped me a lot, he told us

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:25.600
“I spent it with a son of mine and with the passage of time this is lived as a Kit - Kat,

00:06:26.580 --> 00:06:29.120
you park it there in time and forget it,

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:34.300
you always remember it when you need something good or something bad from the experience,

00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.720
but from usual, or from the usuality that stands on the dark side of the brain,

00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:41.220
and it's true, it's true,

00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:45.800
this happens and also overlaps one

00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:51.200
and if you have to say something to a father or a mother

00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:55.200
is that they should not reject any good face,

00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:02.320
that they do not reject any help, that they do not reject anything, because everything helps.

00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:11.940
The Guillén project is a project born out of the need to maintain contact with a student

00:07:12.020 --> 00:07:16.880
who is not going to be in the classroom for a prolonged period of time, for a medical reason.

00:07:18.700 --> 00:07:24.200
When a new child arrives here to oncopediatrics, as when Guillén arrived in his moment,

00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:29.080
what we do in principle is to know the child, to know the family,

00:07:29.140 --> 00:07:34.660
the illness he has and the time foreseen, especially if he cannot access the educational centre.

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:43.180
There is a system of teacher at home and communication between the center and the classroom of the hospital

00:07:43.320 --> 00:07:50.680
because to continue as good as you can see some of the topics that have to do in class.

00:07:53.880 --> 00:07:58.620
I joined the Guillén Project on November 3, 2014.

00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:05.060
My role from the first moment was to be Guillén's private teacher

00:08:05.820 --> 00:08:11.800
and to coordinate the project with Javi, so that Guillén could follow the rhythm of the class,

00:08:11.900 --> 00:08:14.400
without being the class in person.

00:08:15.200 --> 00:08:18.840
With Vero, the truth is that we did have a quite fluid relationship,

00:08:18.940 --> 00:08:23.100
because every week we were updating ourselves on what had been worked,

00:08:23.200 --> 00:08:27.140
how far it had advanced and perhaps also with her because of her proximity.

00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:32.540
Because it's not... the hospital you want is not in Zaragoza, we're in Monzón,

00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:35.360
and we do have a much closer relationship with it...

00:08:35.780 --> 00:08:42.680
there was a lot more communication about how the educational process was going, the educational part of Guillén.

00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:53.400
My first impression, it impacted me, it impacted me a little how Guillén was at that moment.

00:08:53.420 --> 00:08:56.760
But when I left there I left with a very gratifying feeling

00:08:57.020 --> 00:08:59.220
because I had been with Guillén for an hour and a half

00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:04.500
and had seen that he really wanted to continue learning

00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:07.060
and that was the feeling I took with me when I left his house.

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:13.980
She was like a postman who brought me letters from school, homework...

00:09:14.260 --> 00:09:18.880
I did my homework and handed it to the school and there they corrected it.

00:09:19.160 --> 00:09:21.800
I started teaching with him at 9:00 in the morning.

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:26.940
We always started at 9 in the morning and depending on the hours we had to teach,

00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:33.320
on the hours we had accumulated, we gave from 9 to 10.30 or to 11.00 11.30...

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.060
It was depending.

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.960
In those 7 hours that we had weekly classes we had to teach

00:09:38.060 --> 00:09:41.360
language, mathematics, English and natural sciences.

00:09:42.680 --> 00:09:47.820
One of the hardest parts of the project is the one she had to face

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.120
because arriving home and one day finding it with more strength, with less strength,

00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:58.860
with more desire, with less desire... and knowing how to turn that around

00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:04.460
and create a learning situation so that a person

00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:12.320
who is in a difficult situation can take advantage of it has a merit and a brutal job on her part.

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:19.220
When Guillén came here, he would bring proposals from his teacher who was at home,

00:10:19.300 --> 00:10:21.240
he would bring work proposals.

00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:26.580
And when he was here hospitalized, as long as his conditions allowed it,

00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:30.380
we would continue the work that had already been organized from Monzón.

00:10:30.540 --> 00:10:33.840
The routine was more or less...

00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:37.960
Soon in the morning it was breakfast,

00:10:39.400 --> 00:10:45.020
bathing, going to the classroom, eating...

00:10:46.540 --> 00:10:52.320
eating, watching a movie or sleeping, snacking...

00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:58.940
And then again there were like volunteers who were there to play with me.

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.520
That period of treatment and the period of recovering the defenses

00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:08.560
out of isolation was the period in which he, well,

00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:15.660
in the mornings he could do something in the classroom of the center could... well...

00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:17.600
Or when we were here with Vero...

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.820
Or go out in the afternoons, or it was when Javier came home.

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:28.020
I remember that on Wednesdays when I could he would come here to my house to teach me Roman numerals

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:37.400
or to teach me to make divisions much faster, to multiply much faster...

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.120
Whenever children miss out on school for a long time,

00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:50.800
our idea is to tell the tutors that please don't forget that they are still part of the class.

00:11:51.540 --> 00:11:56.280
And that they never forget to take them into account in any activity that they can participate in from home,

00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.240
that they take them into account. In the moment that they are going to do any activity in the playground

00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:05.120
in the afternoon, that he can approach to see them, even if it is from the go, whenever they call him.

00:12:05.380 --> 00:12:09.820
In other words, what we want is for you not to lose contact in any way.

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.140
I came up with the idea of, in the blog we already had in class,

00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:21.700
to articulate that they were the ones who were going to explain things to them, being realistic

00:12:21.780 --> 00:12:28.480
and knowing that when he is in the hospital, precisely, he is not in the mood for anything pedagogical.

00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:34.340
We had a blog, called the 4th blog,

00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:38.180
where we would send each other comments...

00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:47.480
What I did there was to involve his classmates to get him hooked on the contents

00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:56.080
and have a little illusion to see that his life and the life he had before he got sick was waiting for him.

00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:03.160
We started giving ideas to start it. Each one with his idea and we finish with all the ideas.

00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:09.180
And we were really looking forward to it, because we knew we were going to do it right.

00:13:09.540 --> 00:13:17.900
Hello Guillén, I'll explain the approximations with the material we have in the sports center, in physical education.

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.680
The children were very involved. It stimulated them a lot, come on.

00:13:22.040 --> 00:13:27.300
They were perhaps paying more attention to everything they had to prepare and everything.

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.900
Another thing I was very clear about was that I didn't want to tell them what to do.

00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:35.020
It had to be them, because I came to tell them make me a video

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:37.480
and give them even the made script didn't make any sense.

00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:41.020
We divided the tasks according to... One wanted..... The other "okay"...

00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:47.900
Javi in that was also very good..... From being in class and if you have to do this, work, whatever...

00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:52.380
but at the time that all these things were being prepared,

00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:55.500
I said what had to be done and the rest was autonomous everything.

00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:57.560
He always used to say the same sentence:

00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:02.520
Think that Guillén doesn't have to feel out of class, so what

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:08.560
you think is more important, transmit it to him so that he can continue in class.

00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:15.340
2 x 7 and multiply it, which in this case is 14.

00:14:15.880 --> 00:14:21.300
I realized that when Guillén was watching the videos of his classmates

00:14:21.380 --> 00:14:25.060
it was when he really felt that he was learning more,

00:14:25.780 --> 00:14:31.000
either because he was much more interested in how they explained the subject matter to him,

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.580
he contents that he had to learn and also because it was much more...

00:14:36.780 --> 00:14:38.320
much more familiar.

00:14:38.460 --> 00:14:43.260
Because we're his age and we have another way of explaining it.

00:14:43.420 --> 00:14:48.820
Not like teachers - more like their age -, who sometimes explain it in a different way than children.

00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:52.520
They explain it in their own way. Sometimes you don't understand. We understand each other.

00:14:52.680 --> 00:14:55.780
Yes, yes, yes. We have the same language.

00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:02.240
Yes, I'm not going to deny that the first few weeks were absolute chaos.

00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:05.500
But you can see that little by little they are entering the dynamic and I think

00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.880
it wasn't even two weeks ago that everyone already knew what they had to do.

00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:18.780
Come again. 3... since Diego arrives, Diego arrives... 3, 2, 1... now.

00:15:18.900 --> 00:15:23.140
If he hadn't explained all that to us, we couldn't have explained it to Guillén.

00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:28.240
He had to explain it to us several times until the group caught him.

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:34.980
I had absolutely no idea of mounting videos, absolutely no idea of recording...

00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.620
I had a camera and with that, well, we'll get started.

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:42.220
Come on... let's send him a mood video... And we made a mood video...

00:15:42.400 --> 00:15:44.440
Again, please, without the two of them.

00:15:45.180 --> 00:15:46.840
I send you forces...

00:15:47.020 --> 00:15:52.080
I didn't even know how to make the video, because I had no idea, I mean, I had no idea.

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:57.040
Guillén this is dedicated to you and we hope you will come with us soon.

00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.820
A hug!

00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.980
We hope you Guillén!

00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:07.900
We hope you return soon to school, a very strong hug.

00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.160
We hope you recover.

00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:13.620
We miss you.

00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:16.340
I hope you recover soon.

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:20.200
Guillén, my friend, we'll be waiting for you soon here at school.

00:16:20.380 --> 00:16:23.040
Guillén will be waiting for you.

00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:25.860
Repeat...

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:29.980
Guillén friend, we wait for you.

00:16:31.880 --> 00:16:33.280
Repeat...

00:16:34.260 --> 00:16:37.100
Guillén friend, we wait for you.

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.780
Then we tried the news, which was a total and absolute fiasco.

00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:48.060
Hello, good afternoon, we start with the weather. I'll put you through to Mauro.

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.000
Hello Guillén, it's going to rain in Monzón...

00:16:54.340 --> 00:17:01.080
A failure because we had no idea, I, first, had no idea how we could do it...

00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:10.260
Of course, you set up a table, you're with the camera... four children recording, twenty children watching...

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:16.580
One who speaks, one who doesn't speak, one who laughs... You say... it doesn't work like that.

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:21.220
One of the videos that... the first videos that worked best was that of the senses

00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:26.900
and from there on, as if they liked putting themselves in front of a camera to explain.

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:32.720
They started with the senses, but then they were the vertebrate and invertebrate animals...

00:17:33.060 --> 00:17:38.440
the accentuation... and now, well, we move on to this type of content.

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:44.420
Today I'm going to explain to you the Sierra Natural Park and the Guara Canyons.

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:50.260
That to Guillén as it served him a little carrot, motivation to say, well,

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:53.000
if my teammates go there, I have to stay there too.

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:58.660
I liked them because I knew that when they could,

00:17:58.760 --> 00:18:00.600
they could make some time for me.

00:18:00.760 --> 00:18:11.120
And it was also cool because when I saw them, I felt like a classmate.

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.320
It got better because, first of all, he was much more motivated,

00:18:15.840 --> 00:18:21.160
that he liked the subject of the videos very much and he also wanted to be part of those videos.

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:26.000
So the first video we made was explaining a division,

00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.640
how a division was made and how the test was done.

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:34.600
Hello friends, I'm going to explain how to make a division.

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:40.040
Since 3 is smaller than 8, we take 35...

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:49.080
I sent two videos. One was from a Christmas story, which I sent them how to make gifts,

00:18:49.900 --> 00:18:53.440
and another was how to make a division of two numbers.

00:18:54.460 --> 00:19:00.860
If the division has gone so well, why something you don't like at all, such as writing essays,

00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:05.960
I can't take advantage of this resource and carry it out as well.

00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:09.840
The boy, whose name was Guillén,

00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:16.780
left home to live his life

00:19:17.760 --> 00:19:21.980
and invented the gift tree.

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:24.160
And it was like...

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:30.840
very emotional that his companions saw Guillén congratulating them on Christmas

00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.780
with a story he had made.

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:41.620
So, the truth is that I think it's a very, very good point of the project,

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:46.580
when Guillén also stands in front of a camera to talk to his classmates

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.660
and to be one more.

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:55.780
he same thing they're doing in class, he's doing it, which is to record videos for the classmates.

00:19:56.040 --> 00:19:58.580
I'll tell you the secret of the tree.

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.500
First, we open the gift.

00:20:03.800 --> 00:20:06.900
Then we keep the toy.

00:20:08.340 --> 00:20:12.440
Then we plant the wrapper.

00:20:12.840 --> 00:20:17.080
And next year, a gift tree.

00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:23.820
Good Christmas, have a good vacation.

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:29.840
The project managed to turn the situation around and that many students did not see...

00:20:30.060 --> 00:20:34.840
I don't know if they were aware, when they were doing Project Guillén,

00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:36.760
of how Guillén really was.

00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:40.940
Because we turned it around. In other words, it is not "there is an empty desk",

00:20:41.020 --> 00:20:46.300
it is "we are working so that the person who is here when he returns to the classroom, because he is going to return..."

00:20:46.420 --> 00:20:48.560
because the message is not "we don't know if he is going to return or not".

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.380
Our message is "we're working for you when you get back."

00:20:51.860 --> 00:20:55.780
We felt responsible for the tasks we each had to do.

00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:01.460
And we learned more... to know that we had to do it for Guillén and for ourselves.

00:21:02.540 --> 00:21:07.780
And it was also a great experience, because even though we were kids, Javier gave us a great responsibility...

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.120
It's true, Javier gave us a great responsibility.

00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.380
At least I felt a little more adult.

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:23.160
And because I felt that if my group was this row, without Alba it would not be the same,

00:21:23.260 --> 00:21:26.040
without me it would not be the same, without Judith it would not be the same...

00:21:32.820 --> 00:21:35.780
Putting yourself in front of a camera, being able to talk...

00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:38.980
I don't even know if I'm capable now,

00:21:39.060 --> 00:21:41.600
but I assure you that two years ago I had no idea.

00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:48.000
The fact that they stand in front, the ability to develop communicative skills,

00:21:48.800 --> 00:21:54.240
their ability to speak, without working on it specifically, but we are putting activities

00:21:54.340 --> 00:21:59.520
that force them to work on oratory, public speaking, metacognition,

00:21:59.600 --> 00:22:02.800
knowing what is what they know and what they don't know.

00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:09.680
Because when you get stuck and you don't know what to explain to him, you realize that you have to go over that.

00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:15.660
Because we spent it, apart from when we did it, we learned more.

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:22.900
It's another way of learning how to do things. More fun than there at the table...

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:35.440
They were geniuses. In other words, for me, those who have the merit of how well this turned out

00:22:35.560 --> 00:22:40.420
were they because they are the ones who started with videos explaining the content,

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:45.880
doing plays, they invented them, the scripts they made them...

00:22:48.100 --> 00:22:53.740
Some were comics, which we took from the book... And then we made like stories.

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:58.740
Others we made up. At the end of the course,

00:22:58.820 --> 00:23:03.220
we all ended up doing plays on different themes, because we liked doing that better.

00:23:04.300 --> 00:23:07.960
From the mother's point of view, I never saw them overwhelmed with saying no...

00:23:08.060 --> 00:23:12.860
is that we have to make a recording. It was everything... On the contrary,

00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:15.920
in other words, we have to learn this well, because we have to explain it to Guillén on video

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:20.300
and it has to look good and good... it was one more motivation to study and review.

00:23:20.520 --> 00:23:28.780
Learning from my classmates is that they can teach me more things and that while they teach me,

00:23:28.860 --> 00:23:32.740
they can also learn other things and then teach them to me.

00:23:32.800 --> 00:23:38.680
With Javier we talked when he came here, "but are you fulfilling the objectives of the course?"

00:23:38.760 --> 00:23:43.620
And Javier said that yes, thanks to Vero's support and to what they were doing with the Guillén Project,

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.180
that he reached the minimums of the course.

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.500
Then, in that aspect, Javier gave us enough tranquility, telling us

00:23:50.580 --> 00:23:52.900
"don't worry because the course is going to overcome it.

00:23:54.640 --> 00:24:00.200
Education is something different from what we were used to.

00:24:00.340 --> 00:24:05.520
Nor is it necessary to do something radically different, but that education can be something else

00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:07.960
and can work very well.

00:24:08.580 --> 00:24:15.040
So above all it's motivation to see different ways of doing things,

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:19.640
to value your students, to be willing to catch up with them...

00:24:22.260 --> 00:24:29.940
It's a new way of learning and supporting the one who's having a hard time.

00:24:30.040 --> 00:24:35.780
As a team. It's a very nice detail for the person who's suffering.

00:24:35.860 --> 00:24:39.360
If what we want is to form only citizens with knowledge,

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:46.720
then we will have a society with people who are very brilliant at the knowledge level, but we will not have human people.

00:24:47.340 --> 00:24:53.560
And I think that in education it is also super important to put all this more humanistic knowledge,

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:59.180
more values, more emotions, more empathy, more respect, more tolerance ...

00:24:59.260 --> 00:25:04.440
that ultimately will help to have a society that in the future is better.

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:14.440
Now we were commenting, also from the project they did with Javier and with Guillén ...

00:25:14.540 --> 00:25:19.280
And then there are four brushstrokes, four calls of attention, so that any tutor

00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:25.920
when he has one of these children in his classroom, or a girl, has that motivation,

00:25:26.020 --> 00:25:33.020
in other words, has that memory of how it can be done so that they do not lose contact with their classmates.

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:41.940
Well, thanks to the dissemination that the project has had, several teachers who see themselves in similar situations,

00:25:42.120 --> 00:25:46.460
have contacted me directly and I have been able to give them a cable on how it worked.

00:25:46.540 --> 00:25:52.840
And I am aware that this project has already been replicated in several cabbages and with satisfactory results.

00:25:53.260 --> 00:26:02.780
Making a crisis, taking out a great opportunity, which can be copied and which does not require

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:08.300
large budgets or much investment, requires intention and will.

00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:16.280
Guillén's return to the classroom was progressive, little by little.

00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:21.440
In the beginning I would come some afternoons, some hours in the afternoon, then I would come some day loose,

00:26:21.520 --> 00:26:27.300
and in the end I already incorporated in the day to the day of the routine of the classroom.

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:32.320
He came and he was happy to be with us and we were happy to be with him.

00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:39.080
And we realized that the whole class was important and that without one `then everything was emptier.

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:44.580
It was a little more boring, because if one is missing, sometimes it's different, you feel weird.

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:46.380
It's like a puzzle without a piece.

00:26:46.800 --> 00:26:54.340
Well, I felt very happy because all of a sudden I saw all my classmates

00:26:54.420 --> 00:27:05.180
there, all of them together again in class... And then I felt much better because we were together.

00:27:05.360 --> 00:27:14.060
I think he learned more humanity, values, than knowledge.

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:19.880
It was almost as if he hadn't been absent during those months.

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:26.780
So really, the goal we had was to keep him in touch with his classmates,

00:27:26.860 --> 00:27:31.060
even though he wasn't in the classroom, I think it went quite well.

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:37.000
Guillén did not have to recover a site he had lost.

00:27:37.100 --> 00:27:41.980
Guillén returned to the place that was waiting for him. And he never stopped being there.

00:27:42.080 --> 00:27:45.020
Not losing course for them is hope.

00:27:45.220 --> 00:27:50.820
The hope that life will continue as it was until now and that has been a short break,

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:55.700
but that this has not prevented him from continuing with his classmates and know that you have finished the course

00:27:55.780 --> 00:27:58.640
and are going to move to fifth, that gives you a hope in life.

00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:04.200
That in the end the effort and how long it took us to do it has paid off.

00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:09.840
It's a good way to learn. It's been a great experience to be able to do that.

00:28:10.140 --> 00:28:12.200
I think they put a lot of work into it.

00:28:14.540 --> 00:28:18.940
I was very aware that all this was going to help the students and it was going to help them a lot.

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:24.340
So good, then at the level of creativity... the creativity they developed...

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:29.180
There are things I didn't know existed, I didn't know what could be done...

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:36.800
And, frankly, it's that the students went to places where I didn't even know it existed.

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:39.200
Then I think it's brutal.

00:28:39.320 --> 00:28:42.020
Javier knew how to handle it very well, very naturally.

00:28:42.120 --> 00:28:52.740
I imagine that he would find it difficult to digest and assimilate at the time, but then here he treated it...

00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:57.420
come on, it's that with a lot of affection. In fact Guillén says many times,

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:59.040
the best teacher I've ever had is Javier.

00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:05.100
I think he's the best for doing all that in such a short time.

00:29:05.260 --> 00:29:11.400
Almost at night, I don't even think I slept to do the project.

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:13.740
I think it's the best.

00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:24.520
I assure you that the best prize of all was when Javier returned to class in the month of May,

00:29:24.580 --> 00:29:32.940
after seven months away. Thank you Guillén for not losing the desire to learn,

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.740
for continuing to fight every day, you are an example for us.

00:29:54.990 --> 00:29:55.000
.
