The project has been requested in order to further develop the centre’s internationalisation strategy in line with our European Development Plan, according to the tendency of educational institutions similar to ours to continue including these activities in the process of improving the quality of teaching. IES Virgen de las Nieves has extensive experience in Erasmus projects, so we know the benefits of the participation of teachers and students to improve their skills. In particular, a high rate of school failure and dropout in Basic Vocational Educational Training and Intermediate Vocational Educational Training Cycles, related to the demotivation of students, had been detected in different analyses, There is a lack of teachers' tools to tackle this problem. The aim was also to improve the response of teachers to diversity and especial educational needs, so we tried to observe and learn techniques and strategies in other areas of Europe. Regarding the students, the aim was to encourage their academic expectations and improve their skills and professional profile. Both groups also sought to improve language proficiency in other languages.
