soup festival
Soups Festival
Introduction
Since 2004, “9
Barris Acull” and “la Xarxa d’Intercanvi de Coneixements” organize the
festival of the soups of the world to know more things about the different
cultures of the neighbours in the neighbourhood.
But...Why a festival
soup? On the one hand because it is an
excuse to meet all the neighbours together, and on the other hand, because the
soup is the symbol of the mixing and the difference.
The soups share the basics elements: fire, water and a
pot and then the diversity is nearly endless.
We
interviewed a woman that informed us about one association that is called “Pont
del Drac” which was created in 2004.
We could see her speciality, it is Galician soup. The ingredients are:

The soup was very
hot and a little salty.
The woman gave us the soup, she said to us that the festival is very funny and we can participate the next year. We also tasted another soup: Turkey soup, but we couldn’t know all the ingredients because the man didn’t speak Spanish very well but we understood that the soup had a lot of Arabian spices. In the festival the people sold other things, like recipes , books with the history of the festival and soups from others countries.

Conclusion:
We think the
festival is very interesting because you meet
different cultures of the world.
Salvador Puig Antich (1948-1974)
•His life:
He was a Catalan anarchist who was active between the 60’s and 70’s. Activist of “Acció Catalana” during the Republic, he was involved in a trade union, “Comisiones Obreras”, an organization which defends the interests of the workers.
•His last years:
Salvador Puig Antich was a representative of the mobilizations against the dictatorship. He was a member of the “Movimiento Ibérico de Liberación” (Liberation Iberic Movement). This organization was formed by Spanish and French people and they started robbing banks to obtain money for the working class. All the acts of MIL had turned out well since September of 1973 when the National Police set a trap to Puig Antich and in the middle of a shooting one policeman died and Puig Antich was injured and carried to the hospital and then to Barcelona prison “Model”. He was in prison waiting for a court-martial and his sisters and his lawyer tried to liberate him. The court martial was a shame because it couldn't demonstrate that the bullet which killed the police was from Puig Antich and because the Franquism was in its last years and the dictator Franco sentenced him to death. Many international associations for Civil and Human rights and the Pope also asked for forgiveness but Puig Antich became the last victim of the Franquism. This man will be remembered like a fighter against the Franquism to obtain a more human and equal world where the Human Rights were respected and the working class had the same possibilities as the upper class.

PROSPERITAT NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION
Residents of Nou Barris District created the
Neighbours' Association in 1971 and then they created sections in each neighbourhood,
among them, the Prosperity Associations
The first years were hard because many of the
acts were illegal and some people were taken to a police station. Some
activities, like the neighbourhood’s festival, which originally was thought by
the N.A., have now been organized by many organizations that have emerged in
the neighbourhood. Now the work of the N.A. is still the demand for equipment,
housing and a better defence against the abuse of power, as well as the collaboration with other associations in
the neighbourhood
(festival, Casal de la
Prosperitat, Nou Barris Acull etc.), District and City Hall (through the neighbourhood
associations in Barcelona).
An example of the importance
of the N.A. is the fight they have had to build public facilities in the former
factory “Ideal Flor”.
in 1974.
The aim of the N.A. is to defend the collective
interests of the neighbourhood. The first year was busy because it lacked
everything: paved streets, leaders,
schools, parks, traffic lights, etc.. The N.A., promoted the
organization of the
neighbourhood, making meetings, demonstrations, etc..
They meet
on Tuesdays at 8 pm at 92, Argullós Street

1.WORKSHOP ABOUT NOU BARRIS
These groups were formed by a game which consisted of
recognizing animals to form the groups. In each group there should be a minimum
of one Spanish student, who would teach the others students in this activity.
In the gymkhana the students had to look for any neighbour who would tell them their history and something about the neighbourhood. The group also had to search a motto about any aspect of the life in Spain and take some photos to entertain the workshop.
After that, the teachers of each country and the coordinators
of the activity made all the groups to present their jobs and vote the best one.
We think the workshop was pretty good, but the
activity could be better if the coordinators deleted the activity consisting
off finding a foreigner neighbour because it was so hard to find. One of the
best parts of the activity was when we had to write our opinion about the
activity on the cardboards. We recommend
it for future meetings.
