IES Infante Don Juan Manuel is a public secondary school located in the city of Murcia. After carried out some surveys during the last courses, both in teachers and in students were aware of the necessity of giving an international European educational approach to our center. In the academic course 2013/14, we began our journey as a bilingual center, however, we had to improve our knowledge in foreign languages for our students and teachers. In addition, it was necessary to implement methodological innovation, to progress in the digital competence, to introduce the use of gamified tools and to update the teaching practice, in order to increase the motivation of teachers and students. Furthermore, our school had some experience in etwinning projects, so we made the decesision to apply for this project as a starting point for the new Erasmus+ programs.
