With this project we aim not only to meet the needs identified in our School but also to improve our performance and the general skills of our students. In this sense, we intend: - Improve the acquisition of language skills of our students, namely English. Our students, despite having a foreign language integrated in the curricular plan, find it very difficult to communicate in that language, either in writing or orally. For this reason, the best way to improve is to work together with foreign students and teachers who will necessarily have to use the English language. - Sensitize the participants, and other students of the school, to environmental issues. This is one of the themes addressed in the Citizenship Education Strategy, But it was intended that our students would address environmental issues, not only as citizens, but also as future professionals. - Sensitize students to the understanding of intercultural. Because we are located in an archipelago, we sometimes have no idea of the European reality.
