The commission is composed by 7 relevant high school’s agents, from the academic to the administration management. Its members are the coordinator of mobility, the high school management team, faculty and administrative staff. Periodical coordination meetings are held monthly, with accurate follow-up meetings that are being shared will all the academic staff, students as well as placed in our website. Our High School has been actively involved, since 2008, in mobility programs and activities that promote European citizenship and motivations to take part in Leonardo program and PIC (Project Initiative Center from Catalan Ministry of Education).
