Manuel García Díaz

I am a Biology and Geology professor and currently I am also the principal of this educational  center.

I feel absolutely committed to the initiative to implement a solid Erasmus+ programme in the school.

From my point of view this programme offers possibilities for improvement for teachers, students and the institution in general, which must be taken advantage of for the good of our educational community.

Virginia Luque Oliva

Currently I am the Erasmus+ coordinator at the IES Mariana Pineda and I also work as a bilingual Biology and Geology teacher. Among the functions that I perform are the application, organization and management of the Erasmus+ program and the promotion of international relations of our center.

I love getting to know other cultures, traditions, ways of living, and the natural and historical heritage of other countries. I believe that this enriches people's lives, opens their minds, and educate more tolerant and supportive citizens, being aware of the world's problems and critical with their own environment. Besides this kind of opportunity could give them the possibility to improve their skills to solve the problems of the future's world.

I am very motivated to participate in this program and to turn it into something solid in the long term in our center, giving our students and teachers new training opportunities, exchanging ideas with foreign students and teachers, implementing improvements in our center and promoting the European identity in order to build a school that responds to the needs of the society of the future.


Carmen López Pérez

This is my first year as the bilingual coordinator of our school, and I'm enjoying every bit of it. I consider that my main task is to encourage our students to commit themselves to learning foreign languages by means of getting to know other cultures and ways of life, and to make them discover how enriching and fun it can be. To do so, my enthusiastic colleagues and I meet every week to work on different interdisciplinary activities, and  I deal with them in class from a cultural, social and linguistic point of view. Apart from that, my team and I are planning some ambitious activites abroad. During my teenagehood I was lucky enough to travel abroad and have an exchange with a foreign student, so now I feel it's my turn to give this chance to our students. I'm sure it'll be the time of their lives.
