[Cultural Week 2026] CINEMA, AGAIN

It's the second time that the school devotes its traditional annual Cultural Week to the topic of CINEMA. The first time was 7 years ago in 2019, as you can see above on the first poster, below is this year's. This counts as the 16th cultural week set up in the school.

So today we bring a flashback post and on this link CINEMA you can see the English works done by students for that first time. You can also remember the complete information of that first Cultural Week on our library's blog "ARQUIVOS DO TRASNO".

CONFUSING PRONUNCIATIONS

 

3rd AQUÍ TAMÉN SE FALA MUSIC FESTIVAL, TODAY

 What was born in a state secondary school in Coruña... is already a phenomenon that crosses borders: the #AquíTaménSeFala Festival celebrates its 3rd edition today Friday, 12th June at the Tolerance Square and gives its international jump featuring Carolina Deslandes, one of the most important musical artists from Portugal.

Apart from her, three other from the Galician scene: Apolo 18, Kid Mount & De Ningures.

But this is much more than music... not only because it's the only professional festival in Europe organized by a secondary school, but also ATSF is the largest lingustic revitalization movement in the country, actively carried out by more than 25.000 teenagers.

EUROVISION 2026, 70º

Pity for Eurovision's 70th anniversary, not even its slogan is true to reality. Today's the final of the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna (Austria). This year's contest should have been a celebration of 70 years of music, but it has lost part of its entertainment magic.

EUROVISION IS SINKING AND THEY CAN NO LONGER HIDE IT

Without Spain, without Ireland, without the Netherlands, and with half the continent pointing at its complicity with Israel, Eurovision is experiencing the biggest crisis in history while trying to project an image of normality amidst censorship, protests and propaganda. Viewers are plummeting, song hearings are down 45%, the EBU is losing nearly 800.000€ in fixed fees alone and even the contest's director admits they "miss" the countries that left. What once was a musical celebration is now a political showcase marked by Gaza, international whitewashing and shattered credibilty. And the more they try to cover it up, the more evident the collapse becomes. [From: Spanish Revolution Facebook]
