 American volunteers:wish you the very best!

Every year we are so lucky as to have some American volunteers from the C.A.S.A programme, to assist the English lessons for a semester.

Their work and commitment is really high, involving students in each activity they prepared.
We are really going to miss them all.

Our students visited the town of Chorleywood as part of their exchange that the IES Velázquez has carried out this year with ST Danes school.

 Erasmus + KA122 project:"it is time to act: Urban rivers need help"

Our Greek partners finally visited us.
Three teachers from a music school in Larissa, Greece, attended some of our lessons as part of the Erasmus + project being carried out  by both schools.

This program has the river as the centre key, not only from an ecological point of view, but from an artistic and musical one as well.

This is the reason why a visit to the music school in the city centre was also carried out.

We are waiting for them to come with their students this October as part of an exchange between schools. 

Our French Partners

As a preparation for their visit in May the 5th, students from the Lycee Saint Rock in Estaires, France,have created this padlet to introduce themselves and their school. The same was done by our students. See their great work!!

We are looking forward to their visit!

Erasmus + project: Our Norwegian partners finally came!

 Our week in Seville

As part of our Erasmus project with Ringsker school in Brumunddal, Norway, our partners finally came after having cancelled it because of Covid19. 
Our students did a great job as guides and took the lead in every single activity we had planned. The result was a great week, full of activities and workshops,from which we learned a lot about the topic of our project: democracy and political values.
Here you have a photo album of the week. Just click on the following link:
