MOTIVATION: The school introduces innovative projects in its educational process. In the framework of Education for Development, in order to train citizens committed with our world, our school has embarked on a strategic plan focused on sustainability and environmental education. This project has different initiatives all coordinated by our Green School commission. For example, a project called "Sostinc" about environmental issues and sustainable development, which is also linked to another European project called AmiAble: "Amigos de la Alimentación Sostenible" (Friends of Sustainable Food) where we exchanged experiences with a French school, and we were granted a KA229 scholarship (reference 2019-1-ES01-KA229- 063818).

ERASMUS+ COORDINATING TEAM: Our school has an Erasmus+ coordinating team made up of 7 teachers from different school levels, with the support of the school principal. There are two general coordinators, responsible for implementing and monitoring the different stages of preparation and implementation of the Erasmus+ project in Spain. These coordinators will handle communication and coordination with the main coordinating teams of the partner schools in other European countries. The main coordinators will be replaced by other coordinators (which are part of the Erasmus+ team), in the event that the former were not able to continue with their duties, so the new coordinators can continue managing the project. Also, a team of Secondary education teachers will manage local activities and the short-term mobilities in the partner schools.
