During February and March, the school took part in two Erasmus+ mobilities. The first took place in Enkhuizen, the Netherlands, from 3rd to 7th February; the second in Quimper, Brittany, from 24th to 28th March. In both locations, students worked collaboratively with their Dutch and French peers, addressing vital issues such as:

 • Respect for gender differences.

 • Sexual identity and orientation .

• Ethnic diversity. 

• Recognition of elderly people. 

• Inclusion of individuals with reduced mobility or physical disabilities.

 "They discovered that difference is not a wall, but a bridge." 

This kind of experience does more than enhance academic knowledge: it transforms lives. Students didn’t just learn—they lived together, exchanged traditions, and explored different ways of seeing the world. They experienced what it truly means to be European, not just by geography, but through shared values. 

They also forged lasting friendships and significantly improved their English communication skills, a benefit that will no doubt stay with them in years to come.

 "Erasmus+ does not merely teach languages—it teaches how to be a citizen of the world." 

Of course, there was also time to enjoy the host cities. From the windmills and canals of Enkhuizen to the maritime charm of Quimper, and the warm hospitality of the host families, every moment left a lasting impression. 

At a time when differences can still provoke fear or misunderstanding, initiatives such as Erasmus+ are more essential than ever. This project has offered students a life lesson no textbook could provide: that only through respect, empathy and curiosity can we build a Europe that is fairer, more open, and—why not—happier.
