The aim for our students is to gain knowledge of Europe's Cultural and Historical Heritage, allowing them to realise how preserve Europe's Heritage sites, not only those most famous ones, recognized Internationally or Nationally, but also those less valued or considered less important, but being parts of our Regional or local Landscapes. One of the major objectives of our school is to develop European cooperation such as citizenship. It is important for our students to develop attitudes of tolerance through an understanding

of European diversity. Moreover, this kind of cooperation will make them discover the diversity of Europe cultures and will allow them to be more socialized and open-minded.
