The IES Mestre Ramón Esteve is located in Catadau, in the Ribera region, in the Valencian Community. It is a center located in a rural environment, it gathers students from three towns, with deficient communications that limit the mobility of our students and makes it difficult for them to visit other larger nearby cities and with a greater cultural and leisure offer. With the aim of alleviating these deficiencies, our center designed an internationalization and participation plan in various Erasmus projects. We have achieved a series of improvements, a multilingual plan with the teaching of some subjects in English and the promotion of the use of information and communication technologies. The center wanted to prepare a technological development plan and an educational innovation plan, for this, it needed to train teachers in these areas, hence the need for this new Erasmus project based on educational innovation and a methodological change. On the other hand, this project has helped us to improve our relationships and strengthen them with our partners, proposing new plans, not only for our center but also for others, helping them in their School Accreditation projects (2021-2027).
