SPANISH STUDENTS VISITING LOCAL
COMPANIES FOR ONE ETWINNING’S PROJECT TASK
For this activity, students and teachers
have initially chose the following representative companies of the local
business of Menorca: Gin Xoriguer, Lloc de Menorca and Ca’s Sucrer. Finally, as
we are only seven students in class, we decided only to make the task related
to two of those three companies, due to the fact that the team work needed to
be at least of three people. The final chose companies were Ca’s
Sucrer and Gin Xoriguer.
The, at random we chose three students
to be the owners to make the presentation of the company “Gin Xoriguer”, whose
names are Jordi, Albert and Nicole and four students to be the ones in
charges to make the presentation of the company “Ca’s Sucrer”, whose names are Marc,
Joselín, Ana and Gemma
In each of the companies, the members of
the group had already gathered information from their webpages related to them and
then they went to visit the companies with teachers to take some photographs and
get much more information in order to fulfil the assignment properly.
With all the information that now the
members of the groups have of each company, each group will make a Power Point, a video or a Prezy’s
presentation that will include at
least: some photos of the company, a photograph of all
the components of the group, some video, the voice of each member of the group
talking at least once, free music and, of course, these information related the
company (company’s overview, history, economic activity, distribution’s
system of its products, marketing’s process, and three questions
to ask to the other students related to the company's presentation
The visit to Ca's Sucrer
Ca's
Sucrer is located in Es Mercadal, a small town in the center
of the island of Menorca. Five generations of craftsmen, since 1875, endorse and give name to the
product better representation of Menorcan
pastries.
During this time they have been preserving and transmitting ancestral way
of recipes from father to son, without ever losing enthusiasm for
maintaining the quality of our products. Products such as "carquinyols", "pastissets" or "ensaimades”.
The visit to Gin Xoriguer
Xoriguer is the name of the old
windmill, built in 1784, in which
many generations of the Pons family had converted bushels of wheat into white
flour.
Miquel
Pons Justo heir to a long tradition
of craftsmen, wanted to put these traditional values of quality and refinement
to use in his liquor company, and
for this he chose as an emblem not only the name but also the image of the
century-old family business: the graceful windmill with its wind-sails
Gin
Xoriguer ceased to be merely a
local curiosity and became a product with a widening reach, opening the way in
the market with its quality and attractive bottling.
Due to its origins, traditions and
Mediterranean characteristics, Gin Xoriguer has gained recognition throughout
the CEE being denominated a guaranteed
traditional specialty or specific.
