Internationalization is the opening of the school to the outside world and the search for new learning environments for students and professional development for teachers.
The concept goes beyond simple individual mobility and mobility and the meaningful use of foreign languages, and implies a changing and living process that allows the integration of the international, intercultural and global dimensions in education for a transformation not only of the school itself but also of those others who interact with it.
The international dimension of a school is made up of various aspects, each of which must be carefully planned and managed each one of them.

An Internationalization Plan has been drawn up to develop a series of actions at the territorial level to promote the internationalization of schools.

Once again, on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, we celebrated Erasmus Days. This event is organized by CRP VOI, together with the Granollers City Council, and involves all the schools in the CRP VOI Erasmus+ consortium (ALASVO), along with other schools and institutes in the area that also have Erasmus+ projects.
Below we attach evidence of the days.
On May 9, 2025, we celebrated Europe Day once again. Eight primary schools in the area (including some consortium schools) participated in a day dedicated to Games in Europe. Each school selected one or two European countries and searched for traditional games to explain and play on Europe Day with students from other schools.
Throughout this project, the schools of the consortium and the CRP VOI itself have hosted teachers who have come to do a job shadowing or students from different European schools. Below we explain it to you.

The CRP VOI has created the “internationalization of centers” seminar. This is a coordination seminar, a training modality to share and exchange projects between teachers from different centers, in this case, teachers of foreign languages or CLIL from primary and secondary schools. The seminar had the following work objectives:
To seek and share strategies between primary and secondary schools that allow the opening of the centers to the outside world, the investigation of new learning environments by the students and the professional development of the teaching staff.
To seek strategies for the improvement of foreign languages at the oral level.
Promote networking among the centers with concrete actions.
In the 22-23 academic year: out of 31 teachers participating in the seminar, 28 primary and secondary school teachers (90%) have accredited.
In the 23-24 academic year: out of 29 teachers participating in the seminar, 25 primary and secondary school teachers were accredited (86%).
The CRP VOI has also created the coordination seminar “Network of schools with Erasmus projects in Vallès Oriental I” where the Erasmus/international coordinators... of primary and secondary schools in the area that are carrying out an Erasmus+ project have participated.
The objectives of the seminar were the following:
To give visibility to different actions related to languages that are carried out at European level.
To design and carry out an Erasmus day that gives visibility to the Erasmus projects that are being carried out in our area.
To create a network among the Erasmus centers to share experiences and information.
In the course 22-23: 20 teachers have participated and accredited (100%).
In the 23-24 academic year: out of 13 teachers participating in the seminar, 10 primary and secondary teachers have been accredited (77%).
The local television (VOTV) made a report on the Erasmus Day held on October 13, 2022.
From the CRP VOI, together with the educational centers members of the consortium, the participation in the Erasmus Days of the CRP VOI itself, of the centers that are part of the consortium and of the educational centers that have Erasmus+ projects in the area has been promoted.
A joint action of all the shcools has been carried out: a fair to give visibility to the citizenship, students and families of the Erasmus+ program.
The celebrations took place on October 13, 2022 and October 10, 2023.
Below we attach evidence of the days.
This is the video prepared by the schools and our own consortium to explain the Erasmus+ projects in the area.
On October 10, 2023 the primary and secondary schools celebrated again the Erasmus Days. This time in the Plaza de la Porxada of Granollers (the main square of the city).
The CRP VOI in the framework of the internationalization seminar has organized the celebration of the Europe Day.
This holiday was held on May 9, 2023 and 2024. In the year 2023 10 schools participated and in this year 2024 9 schools participated. The event was held in two sports pavilions: Can Bassa de Granollers and Pista Polivalent of Canovelles.
The theme was “Traditional games in Europe” and each class group had to choose a traditional game from a different European country, research how it was played, prepare a technical sheet and teach how to play and play the game on Europe Day. And all this had to be done using English as the language of communication.

The international school congress project is a project that uses English as the language of communication and has two main goals:
To develop a scientific research and to elaborate as a final product a scientific poster in A0 size to communicate the results of the research.
Organize the congress in a space outside the school to show the experience.
It is a project designed for students in upper primary school and the first cycle of ESO.
The guiding thread of the workshops will be the Global Goals for Sustainable Development proposed by UNESCO.
In the following LINK you have an explanation of how the congress works, resources and materials to carry it out and all the editions that have been carried out.
It is a project open to all educational schools who will participate and propose a work in the classroom to prepare a text in English with the purpose of elaborating an audio that will be broadcast on Radio Educa Baix Montseny. These audios, in addition to emitirse en directo, will be published in podcast format together with an oral comprehension in the web page series.
The objective is to reinforce/enlarge the activities in the classroom of oral expression and comprehension in English and to invite European schools to participate in the project, transforming it into an eTwinning project.
In the following LINK you have an explanation of how the project works and some podcast elaborated by schools uploaded.
Throughout this project, the schools of the consortium and the CRP VOI itself have hosted teachers who have come to do a job shadowing or students from different European schools. Below we explain it to you.
