Barcelona to Vic Can anyone please help with prices and times available We are arriving in Barcelona on 17th July and leaving on 24th July 2013 Reply OhBarcelona 22 January 2013 at 1040 am Hi Denise Thanks for the comment Youre in luck as there is a Renfe train that runs from Barcelona to Vic Youll see in the article under the ShortDistance paragraphs that you can take Line 3 to Vic This line passes through Catalunya in the heart of Barcelona city centre and also through El Clot also in the city centre You can find schedules and more info on the Renfe website Have fun at the festival Reply Marlene Kelly 5 February 2013 at 144 am A friend and myself are coming on holiday to Santa Margarita near Roses and we were wondering what train we get from Barcelona Airport we are coming in May Reply OhBarcelona 5 February 2013 at 1109 am Hi Marlene To get to Roses you will need to get the train into the city centre and from Barcelona Sants station you can get the train to Vilajuiga before taking a taxi the rest of the distance There is a very useful website on that particular transfer here the third box down concerns the trip from Barcelona Airport to Roses Hope that helps and enjoy the holiday in the sun Reply user 2 March 2013 at 335 am is there a train that would go from Barcelona to Alicante what train station would the train leave from and is it far from Barcelona airport and roughly how much would it cost thanks Reply OhBarcelona 5 March 2013 at 1022 am Hi There is indeed a train that goes to Alicante from Barcelona It leaves from Sants train staion which you can arrive at via train from the airport or from the city centre using the Metro The journey lasts around five hours and costs around 60 We hope you enjoy your time in both cities Reply Jenny 13 May 2013 at 213 pm Hi there We are 3 adults wanting to get from Barcelona airport to Mataro to the Atenea Hotel What is the easiest and cheapest way please Reply OhBarcelona 14 May 2013 at 1039 am Hi Jenny You should take the train from the Airport to Barcelona Sants station From there you would need to change to the line R1 to Mataró This will be the quickest and cheapest way to get there Enjoy your trip Reply Alice 10 June 2013 at 507 pm Hello I will be traveling from Barcelona la sagrada familia area to pamplona Could you help with the best way to go about this Thank you Reply OhBarcelona 11 June 2013 at 311 pm Hi Alice The easiest way would be to take the L5 metro from Sagrada Familia to BarcelonaSants The dark blue line and then catch a train from the BarcelonaSants station to Pamplona I hope this helps Reply Arlene 15 June 2013 at 918 pm We will be coming from Santa Susanna to Barcelona via train and need to know how to get from train station to hop on hop off bus stationThanks Reply OhBarcelona 17 June 2013 at 122 pm Hi Arlene The easiest route for you will be to catch the R1 train which takes you from Santa Susanna straight to Plaça Catalunya station in Barcelona You can see the timetable here Both of the main bus tour companies Barcelona City Tours and Barcelona Bus Turístic operate their routes from Plaça Catalunya so you can chose which route you wish to take The bus stop is in front of El Corte Inglés which is in the same square as the Plaça Catalunya train station For more information about the different bus routes you can take a look at our guide here I hope this helps Reply Sim 25 June 2013 at 1002 pm Hello We will be coming to Barcelona soon and wanted to know how to get from Barcelona Airport to Mataro Atenea Port Hotel via train and what the quickest route is Thank you Reply OhBarcelona 26 June 2013 at 915 am Hi We can certainly help you there From Barcelona airport you will need to take the R2 train light green line to Estació de Sants From there you can catch the R1 train light blue line which will take you straight to Mataró Hope this helps and have a safe trip Reply Sim 2 July 2013 at 1031 pm Thank you so much for your help I would also like to know how long this journey is and how much a ticket would be for an adult one way Thanks once again Reply OhBarcelona 3 July 2013 at 935 am Hi again One way it is 360 to Sants Estació from the airport on the R2 line and then the R1 line to Mataró should be between 35 each The length of the journey can vary as trains are frequent from Sants Estació to Mataró but from the airport they depart every half an hour from Terminal 2 One other important point is that the train station at Barcelona airport operates from Terminal 2 If you are arriving at Terminal 1 then follow the signs for RENFE or the train icon and they will direct you to a very frequent shuttle bus that goes from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 about 10 mins From there just follow the RENFE signs again and they will take you to the platform where you can buy your tickets If you have any other questions Ill be happy to help Reply Alistair 28 June 2013 at 1103 am Hi I want to travel from Malgrat to Sagrada Família What station should I get off at in Barcelona Id like to stay clear of Sants if possible Thanks Reply OhBarcelona 1 July 2013 at 1010 am Hi Alistair We can certainly help you out there Firstly you need to take the R1 train the light blue RENFE line from Malgrat de Mar to El ClotAragó From there you need to change to Clot station on the Metro and take the L2 purple Metro Line which is two stops to Sagrada Familia The only confusing part is that El ClotAragó and Clot are actually the same station the former is for the RENFE trains and the latter is for the Metro Hope this helps if you have any other questions please get in touch again Reply janet 5 July 2013 at 903 pm Hi there Please could you provide the easiest route to follow via train or bus from Barcelona clot to velencia airport Reply OhBarcelona 8 July 2013 at 1123 am Hi janet Id be glad to help you out The easiest route would be take the metro from Clot to Sagrada Familia on the purple L2 then transfer onto the blue L5 and head to Sants Estació It will be from here that you can catch a RENFE or AVE high speed train to Joaquin Sorrolla in Valencia for this you can buy your tickets either at the station or online prices vary according to which train company you use From there catch the yellow Linea 1 metro to Angel Guimera and then you can get a direct metro either the L3 or L5 line to Valencia airport Alternatively a slightly cheaper but probably longer option would be to take a bus to Valencia from Barcelona Nord bus station You can get there by taking the L1 red Metro line from Clot to Arc de Triomf and then follow the signs for the bus station When in Valencia again I would recommend taking the metro from the bus station to the airport For a map of the Valencia metro lines click here Hope you have a safe journey Reply Sari 18 July 2013 at 627 am Hi We arrive to Barcelona airport on Saturday and our final destination is Tossa de Mar What is the easiest way from the airport to Nord busstation I already checked that we can take the train but do we need to chance to metro or can we use the train to reach Arc de Triomf We are group of 2 adults and 3 teenagers Can we buy one T10 card and stamp it for all five Thank you for your help Sari Reply OhBarcelona 18 July 2013 at 926 am Hi Sari The easiest way to go by train would be to take an R2 RENFE train from terminal 2 at Barcelona airport El Prat to ClotAragó Then change to the Metro station of El Clot in the same building and take the L1 three stops to Arc de Triomf This way does involve going back on yourself a little bit but its the easiest way and only involves one change I can confirm from the official website that the T10 is a multiperson ticket so you are allowed to put it through the turnstile more than once for several people Hope this has helped have a safe trip Reply Susan 23 July 2013 at 133 pm Hi we will be travelling tfrom Barcelona to figueras and then on to Roses on the afternoon of Sunday 28 July I would like to do this as quickly as possible but without too many changes Please can you advise on this and also whether I should buy tickets in advance online We are a family of 4 Thank you Reply OhBarcelona 24 July 2013 at 928 am Hi Susan You can take a RENFE train from Barcelona Sants Passeig de Gracia or El ClotAragó whichever is easiest for you that will take you directly to Figueres It is usually cheaper to book online at RENFEcom although I would advise you to read this helpful guide as sometimes people do have problems with the site There is also a High Speed AVE train that will take you from Barcelona Sants to Figueres Vilafant in only 53 minutes However this arrives in a town about 2km from Figueres itself and it may be a bit difficult for a family of 4 to get to Figueres from there From Figueres to Roses it is a half hour bus journey and you can buy tickets here Have a safe trip Reply Sine 28 August 2013 at 1151 am Dear OhBarcelona I can not find any timetable anywhere on how to get from Barcelona Airport to Mataro and return by train Is it really not possible It is on September 25th after 1700hrs and back on September 27th at 1000hrs Look forward to hearing from you Brgds Sine Reply OhBarcelona 29 August 2013 at 1104 am Hi Sine Youve come to the right place for an answer Im afraid there isnt a direct train from the airport so you will need to make one change From Barcelona airport you will need to take the R2 train light green line to Estació de Sants From there you can catch the R1 train light blue line which will take you straight to Mataró Trains run until midnight so you shouldnt have any problems with times R1 trains from Sants to Mataró leave every 10 minutes whilst the R2 train to and from the airport to Barcelona Sants is every 30 minutes Hope this has helped If you have anymore questions just ask Reply Sarah 6 September 2013 at 1225 am Hi Which is the easiest station to change at in Barcelona travelling from the airport to the renfe station at badalona Hotel site says clot and another site says Sants I will be travelling this Sunday and could do with any help Thanks Reply OhBarcelona 6 September 2013 at 955 am Hi Sarah To be honest they are both correct The R2 train from the airport stops atboth Barcelona Sants and Clot From both of these stations you can change onto the light blue R1 line for any RENFE station in Badalona There is very little difference between the two routes however the route via Clot has one stop fewer Have a safe trip Reply

The Well Two men stood in the billiardroom of an old country house talking Play which had been of a halfhearted nature was over and they sat at the open window looking out over the park stretching away beneath them conversing idly Your times nearly up Jem said one at length this time six weeks youll be yawning out the honeymoon and cursing the manwoman I mean who invented them Jem Benson stretched his long limbs in the chair and grunted in dissent Ive never understood it continued Wilfred Carr yawning Its not in my line at all I never had enough money for my own wants let alone for two Perhaps if I were as rich as you or Croesus I might regard it differently There was just sufficient meaning in the latter part of the remark for his cousin to forbear to reply to it He continued to gaze out of the window and to smoke slowly Not being as rich as Croesusor you resumed Carr regarding him from beneath lowered lids I paddle my own canoe down the stream of Time and tying it to my friends doorposts go in to eat their dinners Quite Venetian said Jem Benson still looking out of the window Its not a bad thing for you Wilfred that you have the doorposts and dinnersand friends Carr grunted in his turn Seriously though Jem he said slowly youre a lucky fellow a very lucky fellow If there is a better girl above ground than Olive I should like to see her Yes said the other quietly Shes such an exceptional girl continued Carr staring out of the window Shes so good and gentle She thinks you are a bundle of all the virtues He laughed frankly and joyously but the other man did not join him Strong senseof right and wrong though continued Carr musingly Do you know I believe that if she found out that you were not Not what demanded Benson turning upon him fiercely Not what Everything that you are returned his cousin with a grin that belied his words I believe shed drop you Talk about something else said Benson slowly your pleasantries are not always in the best taste Wilfred Carr rose and taking a cue from the rack bent over the board and practiced one or two favourite shots The only other subject I can talk about just at present is my own financial affairs he said slowly as he walked round the table Talk about something else said Benson again bluntly And the two things are connected said Carr and dropping his cue he half sat on the table and eyed his cousin There was a long silence Benson pitched the end of his cigar out of the window and leaning back closed his eyes Do you follow me inquired Carr at length Benson opened his eyes and nodded at the window Do you want to follow my cigar he demanded I should prefer to depart by the usual way for your sake returned the other unabashed If I left by the window all sorts of questions would be asked and you know what a talkative chap I am So long as you dont talk about my affairs returned the other restraining himself by an obvious effort you can talk yourself hoarse Im in a mess said Carr slowly a devil of a mess If I dont raise fifteen hundred by this day fortnight I may be getting my board and lodging free Would that be any change questioned Benson The quality would retorted the other The address also would not be good Seriously Jem will you let me have the fifteen hundred No said the other simply Carr went white Its to save me from ruin he said thickly Ive helped you till Im tired said Benson turning and regarding him and it is all to no good If youve got into a mess get out of it You should not be so fond of giving autographs away Its foolish I admit said Carr deliberately I wont do so any more By the way Ive got some to sell You neednt sneer Theyre not my own Whose are they inquired the other Yours Benson got up from his chair and crossed over to him What is this he asked quietly Blackmail Call it what you like said Carr Ive got some letters for sale price fifteen hundred And I know a man who would buy them at that price for the mere chance of getting Olive from you Ill give you first offer If you have got any letters bearing my signature you will be good enough to give them to me said Benson very slowly Theyre mine said Carr lightly given to me by the lady you wrote them to I must say that they are not all in the best possible taste His cousin reached forward suddenly and catching him by the collar of his coat pinned him down on the table Give me those letters he breathed sticking his face close to Carrs Theyre not here said Carr struggling Im not a fool Let me go or Ill raise the price The other man raised him from the table in his powerful hands apparently with the intention of dashing his head against it Then suddenly his hold relaxed as an astonishedlooking maidservant entered the room with letters Carr sat up hastily Thats how it was done said Benson for the girls benefit as he took the letters I dont wonder at the other man making him pay for it then said Carr blandly You will give me those letters said Benson suggestively as the girl left the room At the price I mentioned yes said Carr but so sure as I am a living man if you lay your clumsy hands on me again Ill double it Now Ill leave you for a time while you think it over He took a cigar from the box and lighting it carefully quitted the room His cousin waited until the door had closed behind him and then turning to the window sat there in a fit of fury as silent as it was terrible The air was fresh and sweet from the park heavy with the scent of newmown grass The fragrance of a cigar was now added to it and glancing out he saw his cousin pacing slowly by He rose and went to the door and then apparently altering his mind he returned to the window and watched the figure of his cousin as it moved slowly away into the moonlight Then he rose again and for a long time the room was empty It was empty when Mrs Benson came in some time later to say goodnight to her son on her way to bed She walked slowly round the table and pausing at the window gazed from it in idle thought until she saw the figure of her son advancing with rapid strides toward the house He looked up at the window Goodnight said she Goodnight said Benson in a deep voice Where is Wilfred Oh he has gone said Benson Gone We had a few words he was wanting money again and I gave him a piece of my mind I dont think we shall see him again Poor Wilfred sighed Mrs Benson He is always in trouble of some sort I hope that you were not too hard upon him No more than he deserved said her son sternly Good night II The well which had long ago fallen into disuse was almost hidden by the thick tangle of undergrowth which ran riot at that corner of the old park It was partly covered by the shrunken half of a lid above which a rusty windlass creaked in company with the music of the pines when the wind blew strongly The full light of the sun never reached it and the ground surrounding it was moist and green when other parts of the park were gaping with the heat Two people walking slowly round the park in the fragrant stillness of a summer evening strayed in the direction of the well No use going through this wilderness Olive said Benson pausing on the outskirts of the pines and eyeing with some disfavour the gloom beyond Best part of the park said the girl briskly you know its my favourite spot I know youre very fond of sitting on the coping said the man slowly and I wish you wouldnt One day you will lean back too far and fall in And make the acquaintance of Truth said Olive lightly Come along She ran from him and was lost in the shadow of the pines the bracken crackling beneath her feet as she ran Her companion followed slowly and emerging from the gloom saw her poised daintily on the edge of the well with her feet hidden in the rank grass and nettles which surrounded it She motioned her companion to take a seat by her side and smiled softly as she felt a strong arm passed about her waist I like this place said she breaking a long silence it is so dismal so uncanny Do you know I wouldnt dare to sit here alone Jem I should imagine that all sorts of dreadful things were hidden behind the bushes and trees waiting to spring out on me Ugh Youd better let me take you in said her companion tenderly the well isnt always wholesome especially in the hot weather Lets make a move The girl gave an obstinate little shake and settled herself more securely on her seat Smoke your cigar in peace she said quietly I am settled here for a quiet talk Has anything been heard of Wilfred yet Nothing Quite a dramatic disappearance isnt it she continued Another scrape I suppose and another letter for you in the same old strain Dear Jem help me out Jem Benson blew a cloud of fragrant smoke into the air and holding his cigar between his teeth brushed away the ash from his coat sleeves I wonder what he would have done without you said the girl pressing his arm affectionately Gone under long ago I suppose When we are married Jem I shall presume upon the relationship to lecture him He is very wild but he has his good points poor fellow I never saw them said Benson with startling bitterness God knows I never saw them He is nobodys enemy but his own said the girl startled by this outburst You dont know much about him said the other sharply He was not above blackmail not above ruining the life of a friend to do himself a benefit A loafer a cur and a liar The girl looked up at him soberly but timidly and took his arm without a word and they both sat silent while evening deepened into night and the beams of the moon filtering through the branches surrounded them with a silver network Her head sank upon his shoulder till suddenly with a sharp cry she sprang to her feet What was that she cried breathlessly What was what demanded Benson springing up and clutching her fast by the arm She caught her breath and tried to laugh Youre hurting me Jem His hold relaxed What is the matter he asked gently What was it startled you I was startled she said slowly putting her hands on his shoulder I suppose the words I used just now are ringing in my ears but I fancied that somebody behind us whispered Jem help me out Fancy repeated Benson and his voice shook but these fancies are not good for you Youare frightenedat the dark and the gloom of these trees Let me take you back to the house No Im not frightened said the girl reseating herself I should never be really frightened of anything when you were with me Jem Im surprised at myself for being so silly The man made no reply but stood a strong dark figure a yard or two from the well as though waiting for her to join him Come and sit down sir cried Olive patting the brickwork with her small white hand one would think that you did not like your company He obeyed slowly and took a seat by her side drawing so hard at his cigar that the light of it shone upon his fare at every breath He passed his arm firm and rigid as steel behind her with his hand resting on the brickwork beyond Are you warm enough he asked tenderly as she made a little movement Pretty fair she shivered one oughtnt to be cold at this time of the year but theres a cold damp air comes up from the well As she spoke a faint splash sounded from the depths below and for the second time that evening she sprang from the well with a little cry of dismay What is it now he asked in a fearful voice He stood by her side and gazed at the well as though half expecting to see the cause of her alarm emerge from it Oh my bracelet she cried in distress my poor mothers bracelet Ive dropped it down the well Your bracelet repeated Benson dully Your bracelet The diamond one The one that was my mothers said Olive Oh we can get it back surely We must have the water drained off Your bracelet repeated Benson stupidly Jem said the girl in terrified tones dear Jem what is the matter For the man she loved was standing regarding her with horror The moon which touched it was not responsible for all the whiteness of the distorted face and she shrank back in fear to the edge of the well He saw her fear and by a mighty effort regained his composure and took her hand Poor little girl he murmured you frightened me I was not looking when you cried and I thought that you were slipping from my arms downdown His voice broke and the girl throwing herself into his arms clung to him convulsively There there said Benson fondly dont cry dont cry Tomorrow said Olive halflaughing halfcrying we will all come round the well with hook and line and fish for it It will be quite a new sport No we must try some other way said Benson You shall have it back How asked the girl You shall see said Benson Tomorrow morning at latest you shall have it back Till then promise me that you will not mention your loss to anyone Promise I promise said Olive wonderingly But why not It is of great value for one thing andBut therethere are many reasons For one thing it is my duty to get it for you Wouldnt you like to jump down for it she asked mischievously Listen She stooped for a stone and dropped it down Fancy being where that is now she said peering into the blackness fancy going round and round like a mouse in a pail clutching at the slimy sides with the water filling your mouth and looking up to the little patch of sky above You had better come in said Benson very quietly You are developing a taste for the morbid and horrible The girl turned and taking his arm walked slowly in the direction of the house Mrs Benson who was sitting in the porch rose to receive them You shouldnt have kept her out so long she said chidingly Where have you been Sitting on the well said Olive smiling discussing our future I dont believe that place is healthy said Mrs Benson emphatically I really think it might be filled in Jem All right said her son slowly Pity it wasnt filled in long ago He took the chair vacated by his mother as she entered the house with Olive and with his hands hanging limply over the sides sat in deep thought After a time he rose and going upstairs to a room which was set apart for sporting requisites selected a sea fishing line and some hooks and stole softly downstairs again He walked swiftly across the park in the direction of the well turning before he entered the shadow of the trees to look back at the lighted windows of the house Then having arranged his line he sat on the edge He sat with his lips compressed occasionally looking about him in a startled fashion as though he half expected to see something peering at him from the belt of trees Time after time he lowered his line until at length in pulling it up he heard a little metallic tinkle against the side of the well He held his breath then and forgetting his fears drew the line in inch by inch so as not to lose its precious burden His pulse beat rapidly and his eyes were bright As the line came slowly in he saw the catch hanging to the hook and with a steady hand drew the last few feet in Then he saw that instead of the bracelet he had hooked a bunch of keys With a faint cry he shook them from the hook into the water below and stood breathing heavily Not a sound broke the stillness of the night He walked up and down a bit and stretched his great muscles then he came back to the well and resumed his task For an hour or more the line was lowered without result In his eagerness he forgot his fears and with eyes bent down the well fished slowly and carefully Twice the hook became entangled in something and was with difficulty released It caught a third time and all his efforts failed to free it Then he dropped the line down the well and with head bent walked toward the house He went first to the stables at the rear and then retiring to his room for some time paced restlessly up and down Then without removing his clothes he flung himself upon the bed and fell into a troubled sleep III Long before anybody else was astir he arose and stole softly downstairs The sunlight was stealing in at every crevice and flashing in long streaks across the darkened rooms The diningroom into which he looked struck chill and cheerless in the dark yellow light which came through the lowered blinds He remembered that it had the same appearance when his father lay dead in the house now as then everything seemed ghastly and unreal the very chairs standing as their occupants had left them the night before seemed to be indulging in some dark communication of ideas Slowly and noiselessly he opened the hall door and passed into the fragrant air beyond The sun was shining on the drenched grass and trees and a slowly vanishing white mist rolled like smoke about the grounds For a moment he stood breathing deeply the sweet air of the morning and then walked slowly in the direction of the stables The rusty creaking of a pumphandle and a spatter of water upon the redtiled courtyard showed that somebody else was astir and a few steps farther he beheld a brawny sandyhaired man gasping wildly under severe selfinfliction at the pump Everything ready George he asked quietly Yes sir said the man straightening up suddenly and touching his forehead Bobs just finishing the arrangements inside Its a lovely morning for a dip The water in that well must be just icy Be as quick as you can said Benson impatiently Very good sir said George burnishing his face harshly with a very small towel which had been hanging over the top of the pump Hurry up Bob In answer to his summons a man appeared at the door of the stable with a coil of stout rope over his arm and a large metal candlestick in his hand Just to try the air sir said George following his masters glance a well gets rather foul sometimes but if a candle can live down it a man can His master nodded and the man hastily pulling up the neck of his shirt and thrusting his arms into his coat followed him as he led the way slowly to the well Beg pardon sir said George drawing up to his side but you are not looking over and above well this morning If youll let me go down Id enjoy the bath No no said Benson peremptorily You aint fit to go down sir persisted his follower Ive never seen you look so before Now if Mind your business said his master curtly George became silent and the three walked with swinging strides through the long wet grass to the well Bob flung the rope on the ground and at a sign from his master handed him the candlestick Heres the line for it sir said Bob fumbling in his pockets Benson took it from him and slowly tied it to the candlestick Then he placed it on the edge of the well and striking a match lit the candle and began slowly to lower it Hold hard sir said George quickly laying his hand on his arm you must tilt it or the stringll burn through Even as he spoke the string parted and the candlestick fell into the water below Benson swore quietly Ill soon get another said George starting up Never mind the wells all right said Benson It wont take a moment sir said the other over his shoulder Are you master here or am I said Benson hoarsely George came back slowly a glance at his masters face stopping the protest upon his tongue and he stood by watching him sulkily as he sat on the well and removed his outer garments Both men watched him curiously as having completed his preparations he stood grim and silent with his hands by his sides I wish youd let me go sir said George plucking up courage to address him You aint fit to go youve got a chill or something I shouldnt wonder its the typhoid Theyve got it in the village bad For a moment Benson looked at him angrily then his gaze softened Not this time George he said quietly He took the looped end of the rope and placed it under his arms and sitting down threw one leg over the side of the well How are you going about it sir queried George laying hold of the rope and signing to Bob to do the same Ill call out when I reach the water said Benson then pay out three yards more quickly so that I can get to the bottom Very good sir answered both Their master threw the other leg over the coping and sat motionless His back was turned toward the men as he sat with head bent looking down the shaft He sat for so long that George became uneasy All right sir he inquired Yes said Benson slowly If I tug at the rope George pull up at once Lower away The rope passed steadily through their hands until a hollow cry from the darkness below and a faint splashing warned them that he had reached the water They gave him three yards more and stood with relaxed grasp and strained ears waiting Hes gone under said Bob in a low voice The other nodded and moistening his huge palms took a firmer grip of the rope Fully a minute passed and the men began to exchange uneasy glances Then a sudden tremendous jerk followed by a series of feebler ones nearly tore the rope from their grasp Pull shouted George placing one foot on the side and hauling desperately Pull pull Hes stuck fast hes not coming PULL In response to their terrific exertions the rope came slowly in inch by inch until at length a violent splashing was heard and at the same moment a scream of unutterable horror came echoing up the shaft What a weight he is panted Bob Hes stuck fast or something Keep still sir for heavens sake keep still For the taut rope was being jerked violently by the struggles of the weight at the end of it Both men with grunts and sighs hauled it in foot by foot All right sir cried George cheerfully He had one foot against the well and was pulling manfully the burden was nearing the top A long pull and a strong pull and the face of a dead man with mud in the eyes and nostrils came peering over the edge Behind it was the ghastly face of his master but this he saw too late for with a great cry he let go his hold of the rope and stepped back The suddenness overthrew his assistant and the rope tore through his hands There was a frightful splash You fool stammered Bob and ran to the well helplessly Run cried George Run for another line He bent over the coping and called eagerly down as his assistant sped back to the stables shouting wildly His voice reechoed down the shaft but all else was silence Literature Network W W Jacobs The Well

Why do we need creativity in education Posted on June 6 2014 by Amelia HempelJorgensen This is arguably a question we need to keep asking There are several arguments for and against but in this post Im going to focus on the economic argument for creativity in education The previous Labour Government in the UK prioritised creativity in education for England and Wales largely on the basis of its value for the economy The new National Curriculum 2014 on the other hand devised by the ConservativeLiberal Democrat coalition marginalises creativity in that it doesnt feature as a central aim and instead there is a focus on transmitting knowledge which is argued to be a basis The research on creativity in education has firmly established that for learners to be creative teachers need to consciously provide a context for learners to be creative which is commonly defined as imaginatively combining objects or ideas to create a novel new one which is of value in the immediate context or to wider society Yet if we are to argue for the reinstatement of creativity as a key aim of education there needs to be a value attached to it for individuals and society Much research has been done on the value of imagination and creativity in terms of learning and cognitive development While I think this is a highly valid line or argument but which I wont explore here it is arguably tempting to return to the economic argument as it has dominated policy and public discourse in the past and the current UK government is highly focused on developing the economy The economic argument for creativity is in a nutshell based on the idea that if we teach children to be creative they will develop as flexible and adaptive to new situations and have an ability to innovate by devising imaginative and novel solutions to a wide range of problems This is seen as highly beneficial in a rapidly expanding and developing especially in terms of technology knowledge economy which requires flexible and innovative employees This is based on an assumption that the purpose of education is to mass produce skilled and creative knowledge workers Another argument which aims to directly dispel the idea of the economic value of creativity is that the knowledge economy is according to the research of Hugh Lauder and colleagues likely to move away from the UK to the new strong economies of the developing world such as China and India They argue that the number of jobs requiring skilled creative and flexible workers is likely to reduce significantly in developed countries including the UK The well paid interesting jobs in diverse industries currently located in the UK are likely to move to developing economies such where mass higher education will produce equally skilled workers to those graduating from UK HE institutions but will be much cheaper to employ Related to this is the emergence of digital Taylorism which enables innovation to be translated into routines that might require some degree of education but not the kind of creativity and independence of judgment that Lauder et al 2012 p46 These two reasons together suggest that the creative jobs with permission to think will be reserved for a very small elite outside the UK I would argue that even if we wanted to value creativity for primarily economic reasons the arguments for the social value of creativity in education might be more compelling It has been argued that creativity should be valued as a social good in that it has an integral value for producing novel ideas or products in the form of new ideas knowledge and innovation which are of value to society in finding answers to social problems such as climate change and unpredictable educational futures again the impact of rapidly changing technology I would add poverty and inequality to this which Ill be writing more about in my next blog post on how creativity is relevant to social justice This entry was posted in creativity curriculum pedagogy technology by Amelia HempelJorgensen Bookmark the About Amelia HempelJorgensen Amelia is developing a new line of research on creativity at The Open University focussing on how creative pedagogy can help achieve more equal outcomes for learners from disadvantaged backgrounds Her PhD was on the impact of highstakes testing and school social class composition on pupils learner identities and has been published in British Journal for Sociology of Education and Journal of Education Policy She is Principal Investigator on the Learner Agency in Urban Primary Schools in Disadvantaged Areas project which is funded by Society for Educational Studies View all posts by Amelia HempelJorgensen Leave a Reply Your email address will not be published Required fields are marked Name Email
