Article on unemployment in Spain

In our country, unemployment is one of the most important problems, specially youth unemployment.But how does it affect our society?

First of all, Spain is one of the countries with the highest rate of unemployment in Europe and of course, that is an enourmous problem. If people cannot work, they can not get a suitable level of life.Youth people is one of the most affected sector of population because most of them don´t want to study and if they do not study they cannot have a good job and cannot get their own independence from parents. So, crisis is the guilty of the present situation specially in Spain, where our politicians are not able to find the solution to this problem. If  companies increase production and consumers increase their purchases, the demand for workers will increase again and unemployment will decrease.

In Spain, we have a lot of problems and unemployment and our politicians have to work to solve them as soon as possible.

The original company bearing the corporate name was founded in 1919 by Isaac Carasso in Barcelona as a small factory producing yoghurt. The factory was named Danone, a Catalan diminutive of the name of his first son, Daniel Carasso.
Ten years later, the company moved from Spain to neighboring France.

A job I wouldn’t like to do

The job I wouldn’t like to do is farmer. Farmers have to cultivate land to grow cereals fruits and vegetables.

Farmers also breed cattle like cows horses and sheep.

They produce milk and make cheese or yoghurt. They work a lot; they start early in the morning and finish late in the evening.

I don’t want to do this job because I don’t like being outside. Furthermore, I dislike animals (I think horses are too big and they scare me)

This job is really tiring. The summer is harvest time so farmers don’t get any summer holidays. They are always busy because they have to take care of the cattle.

        I agree that this job is very helpful and necessary. But I believe, it is too hard for me. I would prefer to do a job which has more free time to spend with your family.

French pupils' articles about jobs

I chose a holiday job which is coordinator in a summer camp

This job consists in taking care of children during the summer holidays, or organizing different activities like games, sports or painting. The coordinator not only organizes games for the children but takes care of them, too, so he or she needs to be self-confident. To do this job you have to know how to manage children and to be patient, clear and firm you have to be able to take initiatives in order to amuse the children. The coordinator could have to work with all ages of children from 5 to 18 that’s why you need the BAFA diploma and you have to be over eighteen to work.

        I chose this job because I love children and I think it is an experience worth having especially learning to live in a community.

Unemployment

Unemployment

 

Nowadays the world is facing ‘the global’ crisis and I guess the problem of ‘unemployment’ occurs  in every country. It is social phenomenon that concerns  people who aren’t employed. We can distinguish two types of unemployment:  long-term (being unemployed for a year or more) and short-term (being out of work for three months). Being unemployed  for more than a couple of months can be very dangerous because chances of getting a job decrease.
Unfortunately, unemployment is one of the biggest problems in Poland. Polish unemployment rate grows rapidly – now around 13% . At the end of January 2012 there were 2121,5  thousand unemployed people in the labour offices. Almost 30% of these people are between 20 and 24 years old and they are with primary or lower secondary level of education.  The largest number of unemployed people can be specified in agricultural regions. The main causes of this problem in our country are: liquidation of some branches of industry, production restrictions, demand for various goods or services decreased, transferring factories or companies to other regions, etc. According to statistics form the end of 2011, the average duration of job search is one year.
Unemployment in Poland concerns especially young people. Employers are looking for people with professional training and experience. Students often do not have relevant qualifications and they are not experienced enough.
Not only does the problem concern young people. There are more women than men who are unemployed, especially in the country or small town. This sad thing is that even though they have higher education than men, still they have no job.
What is more, unemployment is the cause of low self-esteem, helplessness and isolation from people. The problem of getting a job is the reason of weakness and as a result a lot of people suffer from nervous breakdown or neurosis.  It is very hard to cope with  situation of being unemployed. 
To sum up, unemployment is a very serious problem and  in my opinion the government must decide what should be done to solve this problem.

Viluste was visited by a fashion designer

During the two-year period of Comenius project, we have invited the parents of our pupils and our former students to come to our school in order to introduce the requirements and everyday life of their professions. We have had lots of interesting people visiting us, such as police officers, municipality staff, local farmers etc visiting us, but the most interesting experience was when we had a fashion designer, Ragne Kikas, based in Hamburg, Germany coming to our school and speaking about her career choices. Ragne is a young Estonian knitwear designer, awarded with several prizes abroad. She was born in Estonia, went to Viluste Basic School , but then decided to live and work in Germany. She has graduated from Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.

When visiting our school, she pointed out to our students that something very traditional to us as having handicraft lessons regularly is not that natural in other countries. She herself learned how to knit at the age of five. So far, she has created five collection. In her last collection, she was inspired by the 15^th and 16^th century armour, whose inflexible and angular shapes she adores and translates into intriguing knitted fabrics. However, she also said that inspiration is only a starting point, more important for her is the choice of techniques. Her biggest achievement so far was the nomination for Festival Hyeres 2012 where she was among the ten finalists and won two awards – the Premiere Vision and the festival' s public prizes. Ragne is invited to New York and Paris to present her work to the press and the fashion professionals.

Our students and teachers were really amazed by the fact that it is possible to go and conquer the world despite of the fact that you originally come from a tiny village situated in a small country.

A Spanish enterprise: La Fageda (presented by our students in their visit to Lycée Jean Monnet)

La Fageda is a manufacturer of high-quality, naturally-made yogurts in northern Catalonia, Spain. La Fageda is substantially different from its main competitors such as multinational Danone in that it is a 270-person workers' cooperative with 60 percent of its membership made up of mentally disabled individuals. Since its establishment in 1982, the organization has aimed to integrate the mentally disabled by providing meaningful jobs and dignified salaries.
