During the 2024–2025 academic year, our careers advisers, Mª Jesús Pérez and Mª Carmen Soler, took part in an Erasmus+ grant to undertake job shadowing in Sweden, co-funded by the European Union. This visit led to an Erasmus+ student exchange between IES Victoria Kent and Enskilda Gymnasiet. In January, we hosted eight Swedish students and two accompanying teachers for a week. They stayed with the families of eight Year 11 students from our school. We showed them around our school, explained our projects to them, and they attended classes with their ‘brothers and sisters’, as well as taking part in various workshops and activities. Thanks to the volunteer teachers who accompanied them on visits to Elche, Alicante and Santa Pola.
This experience has been very enriching for the participants, as they have learnt about some of the cultural differences between the two countries, and it has sparked their curiosity and eagerness for March to arrive so we can see each other again, this time in Stockholm.
See you soon!
