Iceland Mobility C2

This Mobility C2 Iceland Mobility has been configurated as the 2nd European Congress: “3D Printing, Vr and Programming” of the Project : Girls and Boys are Programming in Europe. with code 2019-1-CZ01-KA229-061282.

In this congress, Teachers and students from the differents schools of the erasmus project participated in the following activities : cultural activities, formation sessions, exhibitions and Working Sessions.

Covid Impact

This mobility has suffered many problems due to Covid restrictions and It was very near to be cancelled ( with the rest of the project ) however thanks to the efforts of the involved teams, it has been posible to Carry it out .

This mobility was originally planned for 16 of march of 2020 but due to the irruption of the panthemia in Europe and the all airports clousure that weekend, it had to be cancelled. Indeed we were a bit lucky because we were very near to get stuck in Iceland with the students for months and months. Other big problem was that many airlines and hotels did not gave back the money or they only gave some vouchers which were useless because they had to be used within a year. ).

After a 2020 Summer when COVID restrictions had been lowered, the Coordinators suggested the possiblity to carry out this mobility in october 2020, All the teams agreed and prepared their trip but suddenly at the end of september 2020, it appears the second wave of the panthemic and it had to be again posponed (with all budget problems of cancelations that it involve once more).

Finally, After a second year of restrictions but with the hope of an improvement of the situation, in a virtual Meeting in June 2020 . Teams decided to plan the mobility for september 2021.

Everything was going on, although we had serious budget problems and many of the participant paid their travel by themself because the Erasmus grant was lost in previous cancellations.

Unfortunately, in August 2020, there was an uprising of the COVID cases in Europe and many goberments hardened the conditions to travel (Vacination and Test) . Many students didn’t acomplish the requirements in some countries (vacination age not allowed in Italy and Spain) but it was possible to be vaccinated in others (C. Republic & Portugal) so we decided to make a mixed online-presential mobility where many of the workshops where retransmited using Etwinning & Google Meet Platform.

Participation in Programming Hackaton

IES Playamar students from the Erasmus program “GBPE + Project Girls & Boys are Programming in Europe” participate in the TXACkathon Periodic contest (https://toolbox.uma.es/hackathon/) held on March 6

https://toolbox.uma.es/hackathon/

This platform is an initiative of the University of Malaga to bring programming closer to the youngest and also reduce the gender gap in female students when choosing technical training.

The TXACkathon Periódico is a pre-university level programmers’ competition on the ToolboX.Academy platform, created at the University of Malaga.

From these lines we would like to congratulate the organizers for this initiative.

GBPE Covid Measures

Covid -19 derivated problems and prevention Measures have been a big problem to develop all activities which were planned to will be carried out in 2020 and 2021.

Thanks to the Erasmus changes we can postpone all the mobilites and presential activities to next course.

IES Playamar

IES Playamar is a Bilingual Secondary School located in Torremolinos, in the south of Spain. It was founded in 1998. It is an ICT center. This school year our educational center serves 912 students aged between 12 and 20 years old.

This is the School Link : https://www.iesplayamar.es/

We offer ESO in fully bilingual (English) mode. And as post-compulsory education: Baccalaureate in the itineraries of Social, Humanities and Technology.

We also have two cycles of Vocational Training in the families of “Computer Systems and Networks” and “Electromechanics of Motor Vehicles in Dual Mode”.

The main problems of our context, based on the figures of the INE and the PISA report referenced to 2016 data, are:
-The high number of unemployed (22, 4%) and the consequent emigration.
-The growing number of students who leave school prematurely and the failure in education (25.8%, among the highest at the regional and national level)
-The low level of school performance (30%, among the highest at regional and national level)

Our school assists students from different socioeconomic contexts, and the training opportunities are not the same for everybody. We have a considerable number of immigrant students with special needs. Many families are not able to Give adequate support to your children in the school curriculum. These conditions lead to the direction and cloister of the school to take additional measures to balance them. We have a school accompaniment program during non-school hours in the center.

The school, as well as the region, possess an enormous natural heritage, in reality excessively exploited and deteriorated by the tourism and that, with the support of a good project, we are likely to make it sustainable by encouraging growth smart and inclusive (ET 2020). Through:

– Social Entrepreneurship, with a more efficient, supportive and responsible use of resources.
– Promoting inclusive growth through the promotion of multiculturalism among young people.

The teachers of the IES Playamar want to change this reality excessively dependent on seasonality and tourism.
Creating synergies, partnerships, initiatives that facilitate the start of a new development model, capable of giving an impulse, not only  economic and sustainable, to our environment but also in solidarity.

A vision shared by all the partners of this project was that, to achieve success in its implementation, it was
It is necessary to guarantee a team of quality teachers, motivated and committed. Hence, we agreed on the following
criteria that we have applied in all schools of our association.

Where is IES Playamar?

The reasons for joining us are:

1) IES Playamar teachers want to change that described reality. We intend to preserve and disseminate this ancestral knowledge about these crafts, especially those that are in danger of disappearing. And, on the other, to increase the employability of young people by helping them to start from the detection of opportunities in the craft sector using ICTs, so that they generate value and that, as their ancestors did, they can continue living from it. .

2) We need to continue with our strategic internationalization plan that began two years ago. Erasmus + is an opportunity. Regarding our potential, as a center, with the contributions to the project, indicate that:

1) Our teaching team is involved in the main relevant areas of knowledge of the project. The departments involved are: Art; History; Technology; Economy; Computing; English; Orientation and the management team

. 2) In this project the director, the association of fathers and mothers (families) and the administrative staff actively participate because, for them, it is also important to compare our organization and management with other educational systems.

3) The school interacts and collaborates with cultural institutions and craft associations in the area.
