as it is a projectin which different departemts of

both schools are involved.

This project started between the friendship of two English teachersfrom both schools: Mónica Palacios, from

IES LA MOLA, and Letizia Perna from LICEO SCIENTIFICO MAJORANA

As a result of that friendship, the English Departament ofIES LA MOLA and LICEO SCIENTIFICO MAJORANA

organized an exchange with students from both schoolsduring the course 2008-09. In that occasion, none of them

received any kind of financial support from the 0APEE.

After the greatsuccess of that

exchage…

it was decided to applyfor a Bilateral Project

COMENIUS between the two schools

This year the OAPEE has passed our project and has awarded thenecessary funds to carry out the project during this course

and the next one. The name of the project is“EUROPEAN STUDENTS BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE EUROPE”.

Although it was born as an initiative of the English Departments of both schools, it is thought to imply different departments and students

from different levels, as well as parents, Local Councils, and Firmsrelated to the subject of Environment and Sustainability.
