Objectives

The English language domain will be a fundamental principle in teacher training as it is a language that is like the basis of all international events. In the predominantly technological post-COVID-19 world of today, an English language domain is required to be included in the digital world when making use of digital tools. At school, it is necessary to analyze the reflections of teachers' training in changing their practices, monitoring the involvement of students in clubs that have a European dimension in the implementation of firm bonds with other partner schools where the English language is a means of communication. The school is assuming an opening commitment to other institutions and creating a project in which the strand passes through the idea of triggering a European citizen fully covered with social skills; developing sustainability in two dimensions: valuing humanist values for the formation of each young human being and preserving the environment “our true home”.

Background

If on the one hand, any individual has to develop skills that give him his individuality, on the other hand, he also has an obligation to develop skills that give him status for good social performance, in the sense of living in harmony with all his peers. Bearing in mind these assumptions, we defend that any student who leaves school must be SYMPATHETIC, UTOPIAN, CRITICAL (SUC). In today's world, where more and more social inequalities are maintained, sometimes they are aggravated, it is imperative that each young person is aware of the importance of being SYMPATHETIC towards others. On the other hand, both in individual terms and in social terms, there must be a horizon of UTOPIA. Utopia in making each one's dreams come true, Utopia in the desire to inspire a happier society. Finally, we are unequivocally pleased to affirm that only with CRITICAL human beings can we attain a society that is every day monitored in the defense of equity and social justice.
