Walking on Sunshine

In 1997, Oxford graduate, working mother and Times journalist Rachel Kelly went from feeling mildly anxious to being completely unable to function within the space of just three days. Prescribed antidepressants by her doctor, and supported by her husband and her family, Rachel slowly began to get better, but her anxiety levels remained high, and six years later, as a stay-at-home mother, she suffered a second collapse even worse than the first. Throughout both of Rachel's periods of severe depression, the healing power of poetry became an integral part of her recovery. As someone who had always loved poetry, it became something for Rachel to cling on to in times of need - from repeating short mantras to learning and reciting entire poems - these words and verses became a powerful force for change in her life. In Black Rainbow Rachel analyses why poetry can be one answer to depression, and the book contains a selected 40 of the poems that provided Rachel with solace and comfort during her breakdown and recovery. At a time when mental health problems and depression are becoming more common, and the stigma around such issues is finally being lifted, this book offers a lifeline for anyone seeking to understand depression and seek new ways to treat it. Poetry is free, has no side-effects and, as Rachel can attest, 'prescribing words instead of pills' can be an incredibly powerful remedy.

El programa bilingüe del Convenio MEC/British Council, nació en 1996 como una experiencia única dentro del sistema educativo estatal español. Los primeros grupos de niños finalizaron la etapa de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria en 2008. El acuerdo formal entre el Ministerio de Educación y el British Council plantea como objetivo del programa proporcionar a niños desde los 3 hasta los 16 años una educación bilingüe y bi-cultural a través de un currículo integrado español/inglés, basado en el currículo español y en el national curriculum para Inglaterra y Gales. La implantación de un currículo como este implica una actitud en el aula muy distinta a la de la clase de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) tradicional, centrada en el aprendizaje de inglés en vez del aprendizaje en inglés. Este enfoque integrado coincide plenamente con el espíritu de las directivas del Consejo de Europa, que insiste en la necesidad de que los niños hayan adquirido competencia lingüística en tres idiomas europeos al finalizar la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, y que el aprendizaje de la primera lengua extranjera comience en los primeros años de la educación formal. Los objetivos específicos del programa son: Fomentar la adquisición y el aprendizaje de ambos idiomas a través de un currículo integrado basado en contenidos, crear conciencia de la diversidad de las dos culturas, facilitar el intercambio de profesores y alumnos y fomentar la utilización de las nuevas tecnologías en el aprendizaje de otras lenguas.
