More info:

IES CANOVAS DEL CASTILLO is a Secondary and Vocational Education and Training (VET) Public School in Málaga (Spain), five minutes walking from the city centre, it is surrounded by one of the University Campus, a Theatre, an Arts school and the Advanced Music Conservatory of Málaga.

Malaga is located in Andalusia, the South of Spain, near Seville and Granada.

We have compulsory and non-compulsory secondary (Bachillerato) education students, vocational training courses on ICT and Tourism and Adults education students. Secondary studies are bilingual (Spanish-French) as well as one of the Tourism courses. The other vocational Tourism and ICT courses are Spanish-English bilingual.

We are located in a working-class neighbourhood, but some of our students come from depressed social areas, and there is a high percentage of immigrant students.

We focus our educational vision on three main goals:

  • An Educational Project based on diversity and academic excellence
  • The quality of teaching
  • The social integration of the different cultures that coexist in our school

In order to meet these objectives, we offer a variety of activities and Educational programs which are not strictly academic which include environment, health, entrepreneurial culture, school libraries, multilingualism, etc.

We want to make the students aware of the European community and to achieve this we coordinate several Erasmus+ projects:  KA 103 for Vocational Training courses which includes mobility of students and teachers, KA 219 for Secondary Education which involves schools from Romania, Lithuania, Portugal and Italy and mobility of students and teachers among these countries with the main objective of encourage entrepreneurship, innovation and youth association. We also participate in school exchanges with France (Brittany and Strasbourg) in which we emphasize values like responsibility, tolerance and the knowledge of other countries traditions.

Our school is looking for highly motivated volunteers prepared to participate in our activities and projects.

The main areas where the volunteer can be involved are:

  • Library: The volunteer will organize workshops in the library designing activities to raise European awareness (literary discussions, exhibitions, lectures, informal meetings with our students).
  • School garden: the volunteer will collaborate with the Biology teachers in the school garden. This project is focused on students from depressed areas with behaviour and learning problems.
  • The program “I am useful”: the volunteer will support the program “soy útil” (I am useful) which has been designed for disruptive students who have been temporarily expelled from school. They have to help in community jobs in one of the associations close to our area.
  • Supporting the department of extra-curricular activities helping with the organization and implement of the activities done both in and out of the school.
  • ICT tasks: The volunteer will update the school website and the school social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.)
  • Supporting the department of school coexistence helping with the organization and implementation of activities in order to improve the relationships in all the scholar community.
  • Supporting the coordinator and students involved in the Erasmus+ project.
