During this academic year, 15 students from IES Puçol travelled to Yläston Koulu secondary school in the city of Vantaa (Finland) to launch the Finnish and Spanish Sustainable Cities international project. As part of this exchange, we welcomed 17 Finnish students to our school, who shared an enriching academic and cultural experience with us.
In addition to working on the aforementioned project, the visiting students had the opportunity to visit the facilities at IES Puçol and participate in different classes, discovering new ways of teaching and learning. The stay also included various social activities, including ice-breaking exercises, a meal featuring typical Spanish products prepared by the families, and several excursions to discover the cultural richness of our surroundings.
Our guests were able to tour the historic centre of Valencia, visit the City of Arts and Sciences, and enjoy a day of paddle surfing, a unique and fun sporting experience that allowed them to connect even more with our Mediterranean environment.
This exchange has been a valuable learning and international cooperation experience, allowing both our students and their Finnish counterparts to grow personally and academically, strengthen ties and reinforce their commitment to a more sustainable future.
