A COFFEE AND A CHAT EXPERIENCE: POLITICS AT THE LIBRARY

Our library has opened its doors to our traditional "Café con Letras", which has become a classic speaking activity at school that both teachers and students love. I took advantage of this wonderful opportunity that the school library team gives us every year to move my students forward and get them talk about politics over a coffee and a nice snack.

It seems obvious that the issue was tough, so we tried to analyse the results of the elections in Andalusia by making some optimistic predictions on the future of the region. Some even dared to speculate about the future in Spain!

I would like to thank my students for their passion and motivation when doing this activity. It was really rewarding to find them going on with their discussions even once the class had already come to an end! This is what really makes teaching worth it! Arousing my students' interest and curiosity at the library tables has been a pleasure. That is why I keep going every year. In fact, I am already looking forward to our next "Café con Letras" experience!
