Hacia la internacionalización del IES Campiña Alta
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

a) Context:The Campiña Alta Secondary School is located in El Casar, a town in the province of Guadalajara. It shares its boundaries with the province of Madrid. Due to its geographical closeness to Madrid (roughly 35 kilometres away), it has grown a lot in the last years as a consequence of housing boom of the last years in Spain. Lots of families arrived in the area looking for cheaper houses than on the outskirts of Madrid. It is a ‘bedroom city’ of Madrid in which plenty of families commute to work in Madrid every day. The public means of transportation are limited, especially between the town and the capital city of Gualdalajara. There is a high school abandonment rate in the area. The educational and cultural offers are very limited and overtly insufficient. The extremely high unemployment rate has considerably increased in the last years and it has brought about leaving families in economic dire straits. The school has got 594 students who study ESO (Compulsoty Secondary Education Stage), Bachillerato (School-Leaving Post-Compulsory Education), Basic Vocational Training, Middle Grade Vocational Training and Superior Grade Vocational Training. The whole vocational training stage is part of the profesional family of Administration and Management Some of the students come from the very town El Casar but mostly do from neighbouring towns and residential areas, very badly connected with one another with public transportation and with inexistent cultural possibilities.At our school the multilingual programme offered by the Regional Government of Castilla La Mancha has been offered since 2008. This same programme has been in existence for Vocational Training since 2011.Our school has recently started an internationalization process. The school received the ECHE letter for the mobility of students in 2013 and it currently takes part in three mobility projects (KA 101, KA102 and KA103). It has carried out 10 mobilities since 2014. All of them have been for FCT abroad and Dual Vocational Training abroad. It has hosting partners in Italy, Wales, Croatia and Malta. Financing for the key action KA 101 was received in 2015. They comprise six mobility actions for the formation of teachers comprising both courses for English teachers and for Teaching Methodology. Our school has got 5 eTwinning projects at the momento.
