El Imperio Carolingio

Mientras Bizancio superaba con éxito la crisis, el ya extinto Imperio Romano de Occidente se fragmentaba en pequeños reinos controlados por diversos grupos de origen germánico. Uno de los más fuertes daría lugar al Imperio Carolingio (nombre derivado de la preeminencia del nombre Carlos entre sus líderes), con el célebre y ambicioso Carlomagno como referente. Revisemos su historia en este vídeo de AcademiaPlay.

El Imperio Bizantino

¿Recordáis el comienzo del curso?... En el año 395, Teodosio dividió el imperio romano en dos partes:

• Imperio romano de occidente, con capital en Roma
• Imperio romano de oriente, con capital en Constantinopla (más tarde llamada Bizancio). Esta parte del imperio logró sobrevivir durante varios siglos, e incluso tuvo momentos de gran esplendor. Podéis ver un repaso en este vídeo de "Cuadernos de Historia". 

Sin duda, la pareja imperial más importante y famosa del longevo imperio bizantino fueron Justiniano y Teodora. Sus retratos se incluyeron en los mosaicos de San Vital de Rávena, uno de los territorios italianos reconquistados:

Y como ejemplo culmen de la arquitectura bizantina: Santa Sofía de Constantinopla. Este vídeo de AcademiaPlay resume bien sus innovaciones.

3º British: Searching a job in Europe

Before looking for a job oportunity abroad, we must begin with a basic rule: INFORMATION about the country, about its market and labor legislation and, of course, its language.

To facilitate this process, the European Union has an online application for jobs searching (EURES) and a curriculum template, called EUROPASS, which can be completed online and is accepted throughout the European Union (there are two different versions: for University students and for workers). The EURES website also offers information about life in the country of destination and on the labor market (for example, what areas need new workers, etc.).

Also, keep in mind that job interviews can change slightly from one country to another (eg.: interviewers in Germany greatly appreciate a digital or video CV; or if applying as designer or publicist, they will love something catchy and creative).

As students of British Council in a globalise world, you will probably study or work abroad in any moment. Therefore, it would be a good idea to get used to Eures, isn't it? Here is the new double-task activity you have to do:

Task 1. Choose a job offer from this EURES list that is attractive for you. and use the Europass template to create a CV, a Language Passport and a letter to suit the job. Keep in mind all the tips and advices to create a good CV. When done, turn them into PDF format and send all those pdfs to acarriles@educa.jcyl.es. 

Task 2. Performance a job interview in class! Of course, balance share of roles, cooperation and the use of appropiate vocabulary will be also keep in mind.  

As usual, this work is mandatory. If you failed to do it, it will mean a 0 on your score. 

Good luck! :)
