GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT VISITS PORTUGAL THROUGH ERASMUS+ SCHOOL EDUCATION

As part of our Erasmus+ School Education Project, co-funded by the European Union, our colleagues Amaya Albaladejo and Vanesa Medina took part in a Job Shadowing mobility experience in Portugal.

This opportunity allowed them to observe innovative educational practices, inclusion strategies, and sustainability projects that contribute to enriching the educational work carried out in our school.

🌱 A School Committed to Inclusion and Sustainability

The Agrupamento de Escolas Terra de Larus, located in Amora (Portugal), stands out for its strong commitment to inclusive education, sustainability, and values-based learning.

Through initiatives such as Eco-Escolas 🌍 and the Ubuntu Project 🤝, the school promotes social commitment, active citizenship, and respect for the environment.

♿ Education for Everyone

The school provides specialised resources and classrooms to support students with diverse needs, including:

🧩 Classrooms for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
♿ Classrooms for students with multiple disabilities
🦻 Support resources for deaf students

These resources help ensure an inclusive learning environment adapted to the needs of every student.

📚 Learning Through Participation

The activities observed reflected participatory and collaborative teaching methodologies that encourage:

✅ Student autonomy
✅ Creativity
✅ Teamwork
✅ Personal and academic development

🌟 A truly enriching experience that helps us continue building a more inclusive, sustainable, and innovative educational community

UNITED IN GREECE: AN ERASMUS+ EXPERIENCE THAT OPENS MINDS

UNITED IN GREECE: AN ERASMUS+ EXPERIENCE THAT OPENS MINDS

As part of our Erasmus+ School Education Project, co-funded by the European Union, our colleagues Paqui Maquilón (Administration and Facilities), Gabriela Espineira (Guidance Department), and Olga Tortosa (Biology Department) enjoyed a valuable Job Shadowing experience on the island of Rhodes, Greece.

🌍 Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone

This mobility experience gave them the opportunity to step completely outside their comfort zone. One of the first challenges was communicating in a foreign language on a daily basis 🗣️, a challenge they successfully overcame through patience, determination, and a willingness to learn.

📚 Discovering the Greek Educational System

Professionally, the experience was highly rewarding. They had the opportunity to learn first-hand about the Greek educational system and explore innovative sustainability projects 🌱♻️, from which we can all gain inspiration.

They also attended classes and shared learning spaces with students, observing different teaching approaches, classroom dynamics, and educational practices.

🏫 A Different School Organisation

One of the most surprising aspects was the organisation of the school itself. In Greece, schools do not have the equivalent of the caretaker or concierge role commonly found in Spanish schools. It was both interesting and inspiring to observe how the school community collaborates to ensure the smooth running of daily activities 🤝.

✨ A Life-Changing Experience

Without a doubt, this Erasmus+ mobility was an enriching personal and professional experience. It provided new perspectives, ideas, and learning opportunities that will continue to benefit our educational community.

💙 Travelling, learning, and sharing international experiences not only broadens knowledge but also opens minds and transforms the way we understand education and the world around us.

Ευχαριστώ! (Thank you!) 🇬🇷

ERASMUS HOST PROGRAMME IN SWEDEN

18 March, 2026

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!

RECEPTION OF GROUP MOBILITY FROM SALERNO (ITALY). KA121 SCH

18 March, 202618 March, 2026

During the week of 23–29 March, IES Victoria Kent welcomed a group of 14 students aged 16–17 from Salerno (Italy), accompanied by two teachers, who had the opportunity to stay with the families of our Year 16 students and enjoy a week of activities at our school.

It was a very enriching experience, both for the Italian students and for our host students, as well as for the entire educational community, as both students and teachers at our school who were not participating in the exchange were also able to share in the activities and experiences, contributing to the improvement of linguistic and cultural competence.

The Italian students had the opportunity to live alongside students of the same age and attend classes and activities, learning how our education system works and being able to compare it with their own. They also enjoyed various cultural visits, including: a guided tour of Elche; a visit to Alicante; a visit to Valencia and entry to the Oceanografic; and a visit to Clot de Galvany and Arenales beach, amongst others. Furthermore, on the final day they took part in a cooking workshop in collaboration with students from the basic vocational training programme, who also had the opportunity to benefit from this cultural exchange and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

All in all, it was a very intense and rewarding week, which helped to forge bonds with our Year 16 students who, two weeks later, would travel to Italy to complete the exchange. The week ended with a very moving speech from our students, the presentation of certificates and a tearful farewell, with everyone hoping to meet again.

A huge thank you to the Erasmus+ programme for making this kind of exchange possible, which not only helps to improve the personal and professional skills of those taking part, but also enriches their lives, allowing them to enjoy an unforgettable experience
