Students from the Basic 1 Catalan course in Guissona, Segarra, celebrated Castanyada with an in-class activity to learn about this Catalan tradition.

During the session, the students tasted typical foods of the festival, such as chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and panellets, and listened to the 'castanyera' song.
The activity also served to learn about the origin and history of Castanyada and to work on related vocabulary. This initiative is part of the complementary activities offered by the Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística (CNL), which promote learning Catalan through culture and traditions.
