Background

The characterisation of SDGs requires the commitment to collaborate to respond to social needs framed in a global environment. Therefore, it is essential to establish a teaching and learning network, open to the world. In this way, this project favors connecting with centers who are experts in their respective field, as well as the possibility of establishing a relationship with teachers for future exchanges of didactic experiences, and collaboration for the joint realisation of projects that provide solutions to the needs of today's world. Transforming classroom learning into action or social collaboration, implies innovating in educational matters, implementing active methodologies where the student is the protagonist of their learning, with the teacher being the tutor and guide. It will be favored by the implementation of resources obtained from the activities proposed in this project. Therefore, when considering participation in previous KA2 and KA1 experiences, the positive impact that these projects implement in the educational center is valued, taking into account cooperative and collaborative work, the exchange of good practices and the creation of a network of international cooperation in our school, aimed at achieving the SDG
