Our Erasmus mobility experience was very positive, more than expected. Since 2015 our school aims to a deep process of europeization through several Erasmus projects, so we knew a lot about the hosting school organization because we met the Erasmus team 2 years ago in Portugal during another Erasmus mobility and we hosted them in our school last year. However, we were positively impressed by the warm welcome of the Spanish staff that organized everything in the best way. This shows how important are the Erasmus mobilities because they give the opportunity to create a web of relationships all around Europe to be used in other projects. Our students and our teachers learned a lot during this experience; one group cooked with the Spanish teachers and learned how to prepare typical Spanish dishes like paella; at the same time they taught how to prepare typical Apulian recipes. Another group prepared Spanish drinks like sangria and rum based cocktails. Moreover, the Erasmus gave us the opportunity of improving not only the English language as the Canarian school also hosted a Belgian school, but also the Spanish language as the group of students studies Spanish as a second foreign language at school. The experience was also enriching for the Principal and the administrative director, for the cooking and service teachers and for me as a Spanish teacher and responsible of Erasmus projects.
Finally, the Erasmus week was stimulating also from a cultural point of view because we visited many historical and naturalistic places like the old town of Vegueta with its market, the rum and coffee plantations and factories, a typical fish village and market. The whole week was a wonderful experience that helped our students, above all the girls, to develop some personal competences like a stronger self-esteem and adaptability to different situations. Also from a professional point of view it was important because it developed qualities like problem solving and team working and at the same time the students acquired new professional skills to be spent in their future job. We can strongly believe that after the Canarian mobility our students have established a stronger relationship and sense of belonging to their school and will be an example for their schoolmates against school dropout.
