This year's carnival in 2024 will have a lot of significance in the towns that celebrate and wait for it the most, such as several towns in Vigo or Orense.

In addition, Ash Wednesday, February 14, this year coincides with Valentine's Day, so it is expected that there will be more places full in hotels, lodgings and therefore more tourists.

It may coincide with rallies of the current electoral campaign for the regional elections of Galicia that will be held this February 18, contested between 7 candidates with options to obtain representation in the regional Chamber

During these Christmas periods, when there is the largest sale of pets per year, we must not forget that many of them are already waiting for you in shelters, such as the Madroa shelter in Vigo.

The Vigo city council has opened a new project called "Adopt me" which reminds us of the advantages of taking in an adult dog or cat, such as the fact that they are calmer without biting everything as they are in a different phase and most of them have some education. It is also emphasized how grateful they are... and that over time they will become another part of the family.

Remember that an adoption must be done responsibly and that a dog or cat is adopted or fostered for the entire life of the animal and there are no vacations or weekends without them unless you have an acquaintance or family member who can take care of it, without forgetting daycare. for pets. In addition to the grooming and exercise they need as well as the affection they receive and that they will return in spades.

Adoption is done through the headquarters by clicking on the following link or at the shelter itself.

Good luck to everyone!!

 

The latest UNESCO's 2023 GEM report on education and technology, which reviews educational policies and the use of mobile phones in schools, warns that one country in four already regulates its use.

A cell phone that rings in class distracts the attention of the person carrying it and their classmates. In addition, using it in the playground would help spread images of other minors or hypothetical cases of bullying. On the other hand, addiction to them is generated earlier and earlier.

Italy prohibited it by law in schools in 2007, France in 2018, Portugal also has it restricted, while in Spain the competition depends on each community.

In Spain, mobile phone use depends on each autonomous community. In Galicia, its use in excursions, extraordinary activities, dining or recess until now was regulated in each school in Galicia, being prohibited only in classrooms. Starting at the beginning of the year 2024, that is, Monday, January 8, it will be regulated by law and will be prohibited throughout the school grounds.

It remains to be known whether the rule is flexible or not with students over 16 years of age, that is, in high school or vocational training courses
