“From
the School Board of the IES Mediterráneo, I would like to express our
satisfaction for the invitation received from the Coordinator school to join
this Project. It has meant deep research in the knowledge of our harbour . It has also been , thanks to
the warm welcome of all schools, a great opportunity to know the history, art,
customs and language from the other participating countries.”
Mrs. Inés María
Iglesias, Headmistress of the IES Mediterráneo in Cartagena
The
IES Mediterranean has demonstrated from the very beginning high motivation,
dedication and concern for active exchange of educational experiences and good
teaching practices between different schools.
So, when we received the invitation to join a project to deepen the
knowledge of our city we didn´t hesitate to participate in it.
The School Board unanimously supported our participation in
developing this project.
Our port activity and the influence it has
exerted on the city: its historical, economic, cultural, commercial and tourist
importance have always been relevant topics in our curriculum.
The
purpose of the project was twofold, on the one hand to know the culture, art,
language, cuisine and customs of other European cities, which they had in
common with Cartagena just for the fact of being washed by the sea and on the
other hand to achieve deeper historical knowledge as well as geographical
and economic aspects and job opportunities of our city.
From
the beginning the interest and motivation to participate in this project have
been high in the student sector and we have had the support of families for the reception of foreign students
to collaborate on activities that have been designed in the project. It is
noteworthy that the initial objectives have been fully achieved through activities. They have contributed to
the development of students of the following core competences:
·
Communication skills.
·
Social and civic competence.
·
Information processing.
·
Digital competence.
·
Learning to
learn.
·
Development of autonomy and personal initiative.
Besides, we want to emphasize that the experience has
been highly rewarding for our teaching practice, as we have known over the
course of the different methodological approaches of the centers of the other
participating countries and the structure of their education systems and their way to approach the problem of education in secondary schools.
Finally,
on behalf of the entire management team, we want to convey our sincere thanks
to all the people whose commitment and dedication have made the project a
reality: to the Coordinating center who designed it, the centers that have shared this adventure, our Teaching
Staff and the School Council, local
institutions that have collaborated, to families who have at all times so
warmly welcomed students who visited us; German, Polish and Turkish families
who opened their homes and heart to our students, all teachers who have become
involved and especially to the coordinator teachers, Mr. José Francisco Martínez
Manzanera and Ms. Joaquina Pérez Pagán, whose enthusiasm and good work have motivated and encouraged us in this extraordinary and
ambitious learning experience.
