From 4 to 8 May, our Music Specialist had the opportunity to take part in an Erasmus+ job shadowing experience at EBI Francisco Ferreira Drummond in Terceira (Azores). This mobility was a unique opportunity to observe inspiring educational practices and to continue strengthening our European collaboration network.

During the visit, several music lessons and interdisciplinary projects were observed. The host school demonstrated innovative and inclusive methodologies, where music is used not only as an artistic discipline but also as a powerful tool for inclusion, participation, and emotional expression. Particular attention was given to how music supports students with diverse learning needs, fostering engagement and a strong sense of belonging.

Another remarkable aspect was the creative use of recycled and everyday materials to build instruments, promoting sustainability, experimentation, and hands-on learning. This approach reflects a strong commitment to environmental awareness and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals, which are increasingly integrated into educational practice.

The school, part of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network, actively promotes citizenship, intercultural understanding, respect for local heritage, and European values. Many activities were connected to the culture and traditions of the Azores, highlighting the importance of identity, creativity, and community engagement.

This Erasmus+ experience supports our Accreditation priorities: improving linguistic and digital competences, fostering pedagogical innovation, strengthening inclusion and diversity, enhancing the European dimension of our curriculum, and integrating sustainability into everyday teaching practice.

The mobility has enriched professional development, encouraged reflection, and provided new ideas that will positively contribute to our educational project and to the continuous improvement of our school.

Eva and Pol recently took part in a job shadowing experience at a school in Bobbio, Italy, as part of the Erasmus+ programme. During their visit, they observed innovative teaching practices such as project-based learning, cooperative learning and educational robotics, as well as initiatives focused on student well-being and reading promotion. They also explored activities linked to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly gender equality, and the educational use of outdoor spaces. This experience provided a valuable opportunity to exchange good practices and gather new ideas to support innovation and educational quality in our school.

Mònica Latre and Elvira Pujols took part in a job shadowing experience in Albufeira, Portugal, as part of the Erasmus+ programme. During their mobility, they visited several early childhood education schools and student support services, gaining first-hand insight into inclusive practices and methodologies focused on children's well-being. The experience allowed them to observe highly diverse educational environments with great cultural and linguistic richness, as well as strategies that encourage the participation of all students. They also exchanged experiences with professionals from other countries and gathered ideas to continue promoting inclusion, pedagogical innovation and educational quality in our school.
