When we considered carrying out this project, we set several objectives: 1. We intended to establish collaboration networks with counterpart centers, promoting the exchange of teachers and students, and the establishment of joint activity programs. 2. We planned to seek the incorporation of new motivating practices for our students that would help us counteract disinterest in learning and dropping out of school and favor inclusion. 3. In addition, we wanted to promote the professional development of the center's staff and the improvement of their qualifications both for teaching and their linguistic competence in other languages. 4. We also propose it as a means of increasing the motivation and degree of maturity of the students, improving their employability and perfecting their linguistic competence in other languages, facilitating the inclusion of the most disadvantaged. 5. Finally, we thought that it could help us improve the training of our students and teachers and increase their motivation, proposing mobility of experts from the technology sector and/or alumni who work in other countries.
The IES María Moliner is a public secondary education and vocational training institute, and within the Vocational Training, the institute has the following professional families: Computer Science and Communications, Electricity and Electronics, and Administration and Finance. Vocational training courses are taught, both at basic level, as well as at intermediate and higher levels. It also has an agreement with the British Council to provide bilingual education and offers the Baccalaureate of Excellence in Languages. In this context, and for this project, the target programs has been the Basic and Intermediate Grade FP that are taught in our educational center. In addition, our center has extensive experience in Comenius, Erasmus projects (5 to date) and actions abroad. We have also developed student mobilities to carry out training practices in more than 10 different countries in the European Union. With all this information we only want to highlight our involvement with the internationalization of our center.
