The Official School of Languages La Vall d’Albaida-Empar Granell has carried out a European mobility programme in Copenhagen (Denmark), from the 13th to the 18th, involving eight students and two teachers from the centre. Over five days, this experience combined educational exchange with cultural discovery, becoming a valuable opportunity for personal and professional growth.

The programme included visits to Danish educational centres, where participants were able to gain first-hand insight into a pedagogical model focused on the holistic development of individuals. Among the most noteworthy aspects were the support provided to adult immigrant learners to facilitate their social and professional integration, specific programmes for neurodivergent students, and a strong commitment to lifelong learning.

Moreover, the exchange was mutual: Danish teachers particularly highlighted the close relationships and personalised guidance that characterise the teaching approach at EOI, as well as the creation of a trusting environment that enhances learning.

The mobility programme also included cultural activities to explore the city of Copenhagen and its surroundings, with visits to iconic landmarks and nearby locations.

This experience reinforces the commitment of our school to internationalisation and the continuous improvement of educational quality, while opening new perspectives for further innovation in teaching practice.

Through this initiative, the institution reaffirms the importance of education as a tool to connect cultures, foster critical thinking, and support the holistic development of learners.

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!

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.
