"The Bear"

Last Wednesday, November 25th, Cidenai students went to Clube Thyrsense to watch a group of talented actors perform Anton Tchekov’s masterpiece “The Bear”. It’s a funny and moving story about love, loss and the awakening for romance after a tragic death. Throughout the play, we could also hear the homage paid to Luís de Camões, our greatest poet, whose sonnets about love complimented Tchekov’s words brilliantly. It was brilliantly executed by the Grupo de Teatro Amador de Santo Tirso, who is also rehearsing other Tchekov’s plays in a cicle dedicated to the Russian playwright. With the intimate setting of our art nouveau club as the perfect plateau for a 19th century story, our students had the opportunity of speaking to the cast at the end of the play and of learning a little more about the secrets of the trade, and were also invited to take part in an open-training session for wannabe actors.
It was a great afternoon for us all, and we were all inspired to take up acting!

Twist - Your Energy Makes a Difference!

Twist – Your energy makes a difference. This is the catch-phrase of the new and exciting project in which Cidenai students will take part. It’s a partnership between EDP, ERSE and SDC with the institutional help of our Ministry of Education and UNESCO and the goal is to make young people aware not only of the impact that their actions have on the planet, but also of the small changes they can make everyday to lessen this impact. It will involve an energy-driven-questionnaire to the whole school, the organization of a conference about power efficiency, an audit to the school’s power consumption and a final report with the data gathered from all these activities.
The first step towards winning the first prize was taken this Friday, November 20th, when four students from the Secretariate B course (Ana Rita Ferreira, Cristiana Barros, Ana Rebelo and Patrícia Machado) travelled to Porto, to participate in the Regional Workshop, with hundreds of other students from the northern region of our country.
It was a very interesting morning, and on the way back, everyone was full of great ideas.
Let’s make a difference and change our school!
