Visit of six Danish teachers

On February 18th and 19th, we welcomed six Danish teachers who came to learn more about our adult language teaching model, following their initial visit last October.

In the classroom, they shared experiences with our students and were able to observe our commitment to inclusive education firsthand, adapted to the diversity of ages, backgrounds, learning paces, and profiles. The connections created with the students were especially enriching and inspiring for everyone involved.

The experience extended beyond the classroom with a comprehensive cultural tour of our region. On Wednesday, they explored the Medieval Quarter of Bocairent with a local guide, captivated by its heritage, and also visited ‘El Angosto’ winery 🍇 in Ontinyent, where they learned about the characteristics of the land, climate, and crops that define our region.

On Thursday, they immersed themselves in the essence of the Moors and Christians festival by attending the children’s Mid-Year Parade, experiencing firsthand the music and passion that define us. They also enjoyed a session with English students at Casa del Delme and delved deeper into our history with a guided tour in English of Vila Palace and the air-raid shelter.

A week full of shared learning, culture, local traditions, and beauty that will continue in April when our teachers and students travel to Denmark as part of the Erasmus+ programme. 🇪🇺

Education connects people. Languages connect cultures. See you in Copenhagen in April, friends!

Seis profesores daneses nos visitan

Los días 18 y 19 de febrero recibimos la visita de seis docentes daneses que quisieron profundizar en nuestro modelo de enseñanza de lenguas para adultos, después de una primera visita el pasado octubre.

En el aula, compartieron experiencias con nuestro alumnado y pudieron observar de cerca nuestra apuesta por una educación inclusiva, adaptada a la diversidad de edades, trayectorias, ritmos de aprendizaje y perfiles. Las sinergias creadas con el alumnado han sido especialmente enriquecedoras e inspiradoras para ambas partes 🤝✨

La experiencia fue más allá del aula, con un completo recorrido cultural por nuestro entorno. El miércoles descubrieron el Barrio Medieval de Bocairent de la mano de un guía local, quedando cautivados por su patrimonio, y también visitaron la Bodega El Angosto 🍇, en Ontinyent, donde conocieron las características del terreno, el clima y los cultivos que definen nuestra tierra. El jueves se adentraron en la esencia de las fiestas de Moros y Cristianos asistiendo al desfile del Medio Año infantil, viviendo de cerca la música y la pasión que nos identifican. Además, disfrutaron de una sesión con alumnos de inglés de la escuela en la Casa del Delme y profundizaron en nuestra historia con una visita guiada en inglés al Palacio de la Vila y al refugio antiaéreo.

Una semana llena de aprendizaje compartido, cultura, territorio y belleza que continuará en abril, cuando nuestro profesorado y alumnado viaje a Dinamarca dentro del programa Erasmus+ 🇪🇺

💬 La educación conecta personas. Las lenguas conectan culturas. ¡Nos reencontramos en Copenhague en abril, amigos!

Two Danish teachers visit our school

🌍 The European adventure continues at the EOI La Vall d’Albaida!✨

Last October, 2, we received the visit of two teachers from an educational centre in Denmark who were delighted with everything that our area and our school offer, and who will come up with very interesting interchange proposals. 🤝
We will provide more details very soon, but… will Denmark be our next Erasmus+ destination? 👀

Second Erasmus+ mobility with students in Ireland

The Erasmus+ mobility in Ireland became an unforgettable experience for both students and teachers. During an intense and enriching week, participants immersed themselves in a journey of cultural discovery, historical reflection and European connection.

From November 15 to 21, the group explored the Gaelic region of Donegal, discovering the richness of the Irish language and culture, while also gaining a deeper understanding of recent history through the study of the Spanish conflict and the Peace Process in Derry and Belfast.

Some of the most moving moments included the visit to Gaelscoil Éadain Mhóir, where all subjects are taught in Gaelic, the powerful Bloody Sunday tour led by a relative of one of the victims, and the close contact with local music and traditions, which brought Irish culture vividly to life.

The experience came to an end in Belfast, surrounded by a warm Christmas atmosphere that provided the perfect setting for meaningful intercultural exchange and the strengthening of bonds between European students.

This mobility, which beautifully combined learning, shared experiences and cultural exchange, has left a lasting impression on everyone involved.

Salida cultural del alumnado de francés

Un pequeño grupo de alumnos de francés de nuestra escuela, acompañado por su profesora Marie Yo, asistió el domingo 11 de enero a la representación de Los niños del coro (Les Choristes) en el Teatro Olympia de Valencia.

La experiencia fue muy positiva: el grupo disfrutó mucho del espectáculo y salió encantado tanto por la obra como por el buen ambiente. Sin duda, fue una manera excelente de acercarse a la lengua y la cultura francesas fuera del aula.

Desde la EOI continuamos apostando por este tipo de actividades culturales que hacen del aprendizaje una experiencia más viva y motivadora.

Our EOI lived an unforgettable Erasmus+ experience in Finland

From April 27th to May 3rd, a group of nine students and two teachers from the ‘EOI La Vall d’Albaida’ participated in a training stay in Finland as part of the Erasmus+ programme, hosted by Mercuria Business College in Vantaa.

Throughout the week, the students participated in activities with Finnish students, such as workshops on theater applied to the business world, comparing work situations, and creating multilingual glossaries. They also had the opportunity to learn about the Finnish education system and the innovative methodologies used.

The cultural visits included iconic sites such as Seurasaari Island, the Oodi Library, Suomenlinna Fortress, and Nuuksio National Park, where they enjoyed a picnic and traditional games in the heart of nature. The celebration of the Vappu festival provided an opportunity to experience one of the country’s most beloved traditions up close.

This Erasmus+ experience has been a unique opportunity to foster intercultural coexistence, improve students’ linguistic and personal skills, and enrich teachers’ teaching practices.

At the ‘EOI La Vall d’Albaida-Empar Granell’ we would like to express our gratitude for the Mercuria center’s welcome and reaffirm our commitment to open, European, and transformative education.

Erasmus+ stay in Dublin

Good morning everyone!

I want to tell you about my Erasmus experience in Dublin. In August 2023 I spent time there thanks to the Erasmus+ programme. In Dublin, I was able to learn new methodological and didactic techniques related to language teaching, and not only that, I made contact with other professionals from all over Europe!

This way, when I came back, I was able to put everything I had learned into practice in the classroom. My goal is to motivate students and show them that learning a foreign language is not only easy, but also fun. It was a fantastic experience!

Erasmus+ stay in Vantaa (Finland)

From November 12th to 19th, our colleague Marta completed an Erasmus+ stay in Vantaa, Finland, at the Mercuria school. There, she visited a vocational and adult education centre, where she was able to observe the way of working in this country, ranked first in education worldwide. She also received specific training on the education system and the methodologies used. This is what she tells us 🧏🏻:

«Hello! Thanks to our Erasmus+ project, I had the opportunity to travel to Finland and see how other European centres work. The experience was very enriching because I was able to learn not only from my Finnish colleagues, but also from the students. I felt very well supported and guided thanks to their warm welcome. Furthermore, it opened the doors to future student exchanges, which is our ultimate goal with this Erasmus+ project. Quite an experience! 👏🏽»

Loles and Maria visited a multicultural centre that respects other cultures

 
Our first Erasmus+ project is moving forward very well!

This time, our colleagues Loles and Maria participated in a very interesting mobility program in Munich, Germany, from March 17 to 23.

They visited a dual baccalaureate and vocational training school where they were able to observe how language classes work (German, English, and Spanish for foreigners) and also experienced the German education system firsthand.

They concluded their visit to Germany very successfully, creating bonds with the school’s foreign language teachers, taking advantage of new learning experiences and methodologies, and discovering new teaching spaces.

We hope to continue collaborating with this school in the near future to facilitate mobility programs for our students and thus continue our goal of becoming a European school and a benchmark in the region.

The students in the Spanish classes welcomed us with enthusiasm
Maria and Loles actively participated in classes
Very modern installations and spaces to work autonomously

Erasmus+ stay in Cork (Ireland)

Hello everyone!

Our colleague Marta was in Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪, from July 15th to 19th, visiting the University of Cork where she observed how English classes are taught at different levels, from A2 to C2. The observation also included Academic English and Business English classes. She was also able to compare the differences and similarities between Irish and Valencian, as minority languages, at the academic and institutional levels.

She also thoroughly enjoyed the international atmosphere at a fair where students from different countries took center stage and took the opportunity to ask about their customs and traditions.

As you can see, Erasmus+ 🇪🇺 projects are a great opportunity for teachers to take new ideas and bring them into our classrooms.

We continue developing our great little project with enthusiasm!

TCA in Palermo, Sicily (Italy)

Our colleague Maria travelled to Palermo from September 22nd to 26th to participate in a training and cooperation activity on diversity and inclusion (TCA: ‘Inclusion for Newcomers in Erasmus+’), attended by a total of 67 teachers from 18 European countries.

Over the course of four days of work, Maria was able to network with other European participants with similar concerns and needs in the area of ​​inclusion, and she gained many ideas for our school, which aims to be an open and inclusive center capable of responding to all the needs that are identified.

Some proposals for cooperation with European partners have emerged, and Maria will follow up on them to continue improving and learning in the future.
