The Reina Sofía School of Totana has been selected to be part of a European program called Erasmus +.
These programs are developed in the fields of education, training, youth and sports.
Erasmus + is a unique program that seeks to boost job prospects and personal development, in addition to helping our education, training and youth systems provide education and learning that provide people with the necessary skills for the labor market and Current and future society.
Within the Erasmus + program, our center is immersed in the “4R†project (Repair, Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle), which has a duration of two years and in which four colleges from Finland, three from Turkey, four from the United Kingdom participate and two from the region of Murcia, including ours.
The main objective of this project is to raise awareness among our students about the need to recycle, repair, reuse and reuse used products.
For this, the “4R†project intends to carry out activities related to the recycling and reuse of waste.
The project consists of several phases.
The first of these consists in conducting a survey on recycling for all students, teachers and parents of the center.
The analysis of the results of this survey will serve as a starting point for the following phases, the training of teachers to develop activities related to the recycling and reuse of waste and the creation of materials created by students from products recycled as wood, plastic, glass, paper, cloth ... Finally, students will learn to make short shorts where they must advertise their recycled products.
The purpose of these actions is to make students and the educational community in general aware of the importance of caring for and protecting our environment and thus saving our planet.
For this reason, two teachers from our center moved last week to the city of Kuopio, in Finland, where the first meeting between the professors partners of the program took place to plan and develop the main axes of this European project.
They also witnessed the operation of the prestigious Finnish education system, where the figure of the teacher has a very important role both for students and their families and for the rest of society in general.
Some of the most striking experiences of the Finnish education system is that high school students have a subject called "Home economics" in which boys and girls have to learn to cook, sew, iron ..., that is, to be autonomous in their Future adult life.
We have also been struck by facilities and workshops widely equipped with all the materials and tools necessary to develop their skills and creativity.
