Galdakao Elexalde  High School  has received the Erasmus+ Accreditation in School Education from the Ministry of Universities. Thanks to this Accreditation , Elexalde students and teachers will continue to participate in European educational projects until 2027, observing methodologies and mobility of students from different European schools.  On the one hand, all of this will  allow students to develop their linguistic competence and, at the same time, learn about the culture of other countries. And on the other hand, teachers will also have the opportunity to get in touch with some work methodologies that will  improve the quality of teaching”, say the representatives of  Elexalde high school

Through the Erasmus+ Accreditation they will develop long-term objectives at  Elexalde high school : "We will achieve improvement in the teaching-learning processes, as well as in the organization of the school" they say. In this sense, they will promote internationalization in the high school,  promote the use of ICT inclusively and actively , acquire environmental awareness, work on values ​​such as citizenship, volunteerism and cooperation, or reinforce democratic values ​​with the  acquisition of the Memory historical. "All of this," they say, "students are responsible for their own learning process."

EXCHANGES WITH GERMANY, POLAND AND SERBIA

 The schools that participate in the Erasmus+ project carry out exchanges with other European schools. In the case of Elexalde high school , during the 2022-2023 academic year, students in the 3rd year of ESO will carry out a mobility  with the three educational schools in Berlin (Germany), Warsaw (Poland) and Serbia. In this project, our students  together with the students from the three educational schools in Warsaw, Berlin and Serbia, will work on activities related to active citizenship, say those responsible for Elexalde: «We will get to know the democratic cultural heritage of Ancient Greece that unites us through exchange of experiences, with the aim of acquiring universal values ​​and principles”.

Besides , the representatives of the high school indicate that the students of Elexalde of 3º of ESO will also work as volunteers together with the associations of their town. And in addition, two teachers from Elexalde, through job shadowing, will learn the methodology applied in Warsaw school, so that it could be carried out in our school”, they say. All this will guarantee the quality of the school. "The acquisition of good practices through the Erasmus+ project will improve the reality of the schools in which we participate", say the representatives of Elexalde.

The Elexalde high school began to develop European projects in 2018. For three academic years, until 2021, Galdakao students and teachers carried out a project entitled 'Discover and share your identity mark' with the Katerini Greek school. "It was a unique and unforgettable experience and with the Erasmus+ Accreditation that they have given us, we are now going to strengthen the paths of internationalization at the Elexalde Institute," they say.

Elexalde students have explained to the major the project they atre carrying out with Serbia, Varsovia and Berlin schools

First of all , Elexalde students have explained that  they are working in an open project with seven objectives,  in collaboration and exchange with other European schools. Thanks to this project, some student have already known Berlin, because one of its objectives is to work internationalisation and integration in an exchange work in Europe, improve ICTs,care for the environment, deepen democracy, analyze historical memory and improve English. 

In March of next year another students of the school will travel to Warsaw, in October students from  tthe other European  schoolswill come to Galdakao, and finally the last mobility  will take place in Serbia. 

Both teachers and students of the school have informed the major of the project and have told them what they are doing within the framework of these objectives.

They have informed him on the volunteering work students are doing, and how one of the objectives is to attend a town hall plenary to understand the way democracy works.

the teacher and the major have agreed to collaboarte on the works related to the historical memory

About twenty students from Poland, Germany and Italy are in Galdakao with the help of the Elexalde Institute

Youth 11/27/2023

Some students of Elexalde High School are getting to know different cultures, languages and places , within the European Erasmus+ program in which they participate  With this exchange program they carry out activities with students from other European countries, and even interact directly. These days, for example, around twenty students from Poland, Germany and Italy are in Galdakao with students from the Elexalde High School. They arrived in The Basque Country  on Saturday and after several visits and work together, they will return home on Sunday. All of these students will have democracy and ecology as their main work topic, and they plan to visit, among other places, Gernika. Before, today, they visited the Galdakao City Hall. The mayor, Iñigo Hernando, and the Councilor for Education, Asier Korta, were in charge of receiving them, and the  mayor answered  some questions asked by  students and teachers from Poland, Germany and Italy related to the town and, above all, everything concerning  ecological implementation. They have been speaking in  English in the plenary hall of the City Council. After the discussion, they took a family photo with all students, teachers, and representatives of the City Council.

About twenty students from Poland, Germany and Italy are in Galdakao these days to meet and live with students from the Elexalde Institute thanks to the Erasmus educational and exchange programme. They will stay in the town until Sunday, during this mobility  they will discuss and work on democracy and ecology and, to do so, they plan to visit, among other places, Gernika. But before that, everyone together went to see the Galdakao City Hall . 

Teachers from Warsaw know the methodology of Galdakao Elexalde high school.

Galdakao  Elexalde High School is immersed in the Erasmus+ project. This year, somec Galdakao students are participating in the project "Create and Experience a Better Europe" with students from Warsaw (Poland), Berlin (Germany) and Caserta (Italy). Between November 24th and December 2 nd  last year,  Elexaldea high school received seven students from Warsaw, six from Berlin and eleven from Caserta, and seven teachers who had come with them.  And in March  this year twelve students and two teachers from Galdakao visited the Italian town of Caserta.

Furthermore, in May, from the 11th to the 17th of the same month, two teachers from the Szkola Podstawowa Institute in Warsaw have had the opportunity to carry out a Job -Shadowing at the Elexalde Institute:

"Job Shadowing consists of directly observing the classes taught by other teachers to learn first-hand what education is like in other countries, what methodology they use and how students learn. All of this allows you to reflect on what can be changed or improved and draw conclusions, in addition to exchanging experiences and resources with the centers that participate in the job. shadowing", explain those responsible for the Erasmus+ programme at Elexalde high school. 

From our high school, last year, two teachers moved to Poland to the Szkola Podstawowa school, in Warsaw, to learn how the Polish system works and to be able to apply it in our IES Elexalde to improve its quality," they say.

Those responsible from the Elexalde high school say they have reflected on the educational systems of Poland and the Basque Country: "We have also shown them the projects that IES Elexalde carries out. They have also seen in different ESO groups the methodology and projects that are carried out in the subject of Spanish and English. They have also been able to see how spoken English in the subject English speaking is dealt through debates and in a playful way.

"Our Job -Shadowing has been very enriching and we want to continue collaborating in the future," they say.

Some students from  Elexalde High School of Galdakao  and another European countries at Elexaldehigh school within Erasmus programme

Elexalde institute has received 2022-27 accreditation within the Erasmus programme, with the project Create and Experience a Better Europe www.erasmuselexalde.com, which involves working on different projects, in our case on democracy, sustainability and historical memory with partners from European schools and carry out a series of mobilities (exchanges) with students of  European schools, job-shadowing of teachers and teacher training courses in Europe for five school years.

The Elexalde high school during the last academic year 2022-23 carried out its first mobilities (exchanges) in which 7 students from the Erasmus group and 2 teachers in November traveled to Berlin and participated in the activities organized for them in the German school and in March they did the same, but in a school in Warsaw. At the same time, our Erasmus students lived in families, having greater contact with the culture of these countries. In turn, two teachers from the Elexalde school observed how the way Polish teachers and the school in Warsaw worked.

During this second year, 2023-24, it has been the turn of  Elexalde high school to be the host. During the week of November 24-25 to December 1-2, 2023 our institute has received 7 students from Warsaw (Poland), 6 students from Berlin (Germany) and 11 students from Caserta (Italy) as well as 7 teachers from these schools. The students  lived in families of our Erasmus students, having close contact with our customs and traditions. On the first day, the Polish, German and Italian students and teachers were welcomed with an aurrezku performed by two students from the high school and our Erasmus students delivered a few words of welcome in Polish, German, Italian, Basque and English. Afterwards they were received by the mayor of Galdakao, who explained to them the different actions that the city council is carrying out to make it more eco-friendly. During the second day all the participants in the mobility visited Kortezubi, where they walked through the Urdaibai marshes, to end the day in Gernika, where they visited the Gernika Assembly House and learned how our democratic system works. There were some pictures on the Gernika Tree as a symbol of the Basque people. The bombing of Gernika was also present as part of our historical memory. The next day they visited Bilbao, where a tour of the Old Town awaited them to learn about the history of Bilbao. The day ended with a visit to the Guggenheim.

All participants in this mobility learned about the culture of the Basque Country, carried out workshops that consisted of creating acrostics about democracy and the environment, participated in traditional Basque sports and typical dances of the Basque Country on Basque Language Day, tasted Typical food from the Basque Country cooked by the families of our students.

It was a unique experience for all students that served to strengthen ties between Germany, Poland and Italy and build bridges for future collaborations.

Erasmus - Job Shadowing

Sabina Iftimie, Katherine Prodan, Theea Titieanu

ESO1-KA121-SCH-000114567),,,, 

As part of a JOB SHADOWING project - observing different lessons and learning within the framework of Erasmus accreditation, which took place between September 3 and 27, 2024 (project number 2023-1-ESO1-KA121-SCH-000114567), the students of the National College had the privilege of interviewing and carrying out a cultural exchange with two outstanding female teachers from the Basque Country.

Our guests' activities were quite diverse, including: participating in a partnership activity with a civil society organization (EuroDemos), visiting our school and learning more about the Romanian educational system from the director, Prof. Dr. Elena Calistru, and the deputy director, Prof. Mihaela Țurcănașu.

Another interesting activity they participated in was a workshop on climate change, organized by our geography teacher, Ms. Cornelia Fiscutean. The guest teachers participated in several history, English, French and civic education classes and collaborated with Ms. Prof. Cătălina Rusu in an educational activity on volunteering and sustainable development. Last but not least, they kindly answered our questions in an interview coordinated by Ms. Prof. Alina Crăciun.

At the library we  met with Ms. Gemma Gutiérrez and Ms. Iratxe Cuñado, who are English teachers at IES Elexalde BHI in Elexalde, where they work mainly with high school students.

Reporters: We have read several articles about the Basque Country and we are vey curious about it. Our first questions are: what changes have taken place in Bilbao to become so modern, and how do you manage to keep the cultural aspects of your identity relevant in this city?

 Ms. Gutiérrez: That's a good question, I see you've done some depth research! I think one of the things that transformed Bilbao into a modern city was the construction of the Guggenheim Museum. Before, we had tourists there, but not as many as now, because this museum has an  impressive and innovative architecture. So, the modernization of Bilbao started with its construction: the rivers were cleaned, several buildings were restored, and so on, transforming the face of the city forever.

How do we manage to preserve our cultural identity?

Well, as you may have read, in the Basque Country, in Spain, we speak a unique language, Euskara, which is substantially different from Spanish. We feel very proud of it! In addition, our culture includes Basque songs, traditions, sports; we are also known for our delicious food and world-famous chefs. We see these cultural peculiarities as parts of us, as Basque individuals.

Reporters: How do students perceive their Basque identity compared to their Spanish or perhaps European identity? There is a strong sense of being "Basque first"

Ms. Gutiérrez:

Yes, first of all, they are Basque. They are really proud of their identity. Secondly, one of our missions as teachers is to educate them about their European identity, which is why we participate in multicultural projects, such as Erasmus and other programs.

Reporters: How interesting! Now that you've told us more about your rich culture, we wonder: do you trust the younger generation to carry on the Basque heritage? We're curious because we're aware that Generation Z tends to be less interested in tradition these days, being more influenced by globalization and social media.

 Ms. Gutiérrez: Yes, we trust them and let me tell you why: Iratxe is a native Basque speaker, she learned the language at home and at school, where all her classes were in Euskara, but in my case, it was different. Only a few people I knew spoke the language fluently, so I didn’t have much knowledge about it. Even though I heard it at school, it wasn’t the language in which classes were taught. However, when I started teaching for the Basque Government, I had to start learning this language because it was mandatory. Since then, I have noticed a big difference. Now that our students are more connected to cultural symbols (like the Basque language), they seem interested in preserving this heritage.

Reporters:

What keeps the Basque people together? Ms. Gutiérrez: I think it was the strong community that brought us together. I can see that family-like closeness, especially in the town where our school is located, 20 minutes from Bilbao. Even though it is a small space, you can experience a real sense of community there.

Reporters: We really admire that. Thank you very much!

Learning by Observing the Estonian Education System

ELEXALDE – 2025/01/08

Text and Photos: Elexalde BHI – Gemma Gutierrez

As part of our Erasmus KA120 accreditation project, Gemma Gutierrez, the Erasmus+ project coordinator at Elexalde BHI, and Edurne Ruiz, an English teacher, participated in a job shadowing experience at Viimsi Upper High School, located 10 km from Tallinn, Estonia.

The first thing we learned from the Estonian education system is the high level of autonomy given to schools and teachers. Schools and teachers have the freedom to choose how they want to teach. Educational institutions can design and modify curricula based on the competencies of the school principal. Teachers are free to select the teaching methods they consider most appropriate and implement innovative classroom practices to promote critical thinking and meaningful learning.

School management teams can hire and dismiss teachers, manage budgets, and organize and evaluate teachers' professional development needs. Estonia has introduced a more flexible curriculum that better adapts to students’ learning interests and needs. Students have greater flexibility in choosing their learning paths. The Estonian curriculum is designed to develop the knowledge, skills, and personal attributes necessary for learning, life, and future careers.

As mentioned, the Estonian curriculum is focused on developing students' competencies and personal qualities, such as social and emotional maturity, self-regulation skills, physical abilities, digital literacy, and the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing world.

A Culture of Independence

One of the most striking aspects of our visit to Estonia was seeing how children go to school alone from a very young age. They learn to be more independent, improve their sense of responsibility, and develop time management skills. By the time these children reach adolescence, as we observed at Viimsi School, they are highly independent and autonomous. Teachers do not need to constantly remind them to complete their tasks—they know what they need to do, and if they don’t do it, they are aware of the consequences.

Viimsi Upper Secondary School, where we conducted our job shadowing, is only eight years old, yet it looks as clean as it did on its first day. There are no visible signs of wear, students’ desks are tidy, and the school environment is calm. During recess, students stay inside due to the extreme cold, and yet there is very little noise. They play board games, read in the library, or eat in the cafeteria, but they hardly make any noise.

Estonia’s Exam System and Maturity Award

Estonian students must take a National Exam at the end of their upper secondary education to enter university. This includes exams in Estonian, Mathematics, and a foreign language (usually English). However, if students have already obtained a B2 level in Cambridge English exams, they are exempt from taking the national English exam. Interestingly, the national exam only accounts for 20% of their final grade, while the remaining 80% is based on a research project completed over the three years of upper secondary education.

Some schools also have a maturity exam, as is the case at Viimsi Upper Secondary School. Additionally, Viimsi offers a Maturity Award, which includes:

Attending guest lectures on topics of interest,

Completing a job shadowing experience with a family member or a professional in their chosen field,

Taking an exam covering what they have learned in three years of study,

Presenting an oral exam before leaving the school, where they explain how they have developed specific skills.

Our Experience in Estonia

From October 28 to 31, 2024, we visited Viimsi Upper Secondary School and observed various subjects, including English, Science, Spanish, Music, and Art. We also spoke with teachers, the academic coordinator, the project director, and students about their school experiences.

Viimsi’s educational approach, vision, values, and student pathways were thoroughly explained to us. The school's main goal is to support students' development. Therefore, leadership and learning activities are based on students' needs, prior knowledge, and skills.

Viimsi School has developed a student profile based on five key 21st-century skills:

1. Critical thinking and problem-solving

2. Communication

3. Self-management

4. Collaboration

5. Creativity and entrepreneurial spirit

These skills are developed through the national curriculum, learning outcomes, and extracurricular activities.

Viimsi's core values include presence, collaboration, openness to others, mutual respect, and continuous development. The school values creative, meaningful, and well-thought-out initiatives and aims to enhance student learning and well-being, inspire teachers, maintain an active student council, ensure flexible learning organization, provide mentoring for both students and teachers, recognize different learning styles, and foster traditions, shared values, and cooperation with other schools.

A Valuable Learning Experience

In conclusion, participating in this job shadowing experience was incredibly enriching. We believe that our education system has a lot to learn from Estonia's.

Students from Elexalde Institute in Galdakao Experience the European Parliament Firsthand

2025/01/13 – Maider Ibañez Espinosa

Students and teachers from Elexalde visit the European Parliament with MEP Pernando Barrena // Elexalde BHI

Students from Elexalde Institute in Galdakao visited the European Parliament during their trip to Brussels from December 2nd to 5th. Thanks to the invitation of Pernando Barrena, an EH Bildu MEP, 23 students and 3 teachers from Elexalde had the opportunity to learn about the European Parliament and how it operates.

"During the visit, students were able to learn about various aspects of European politics and its main institution. They explored how the European Parliament was founded, how MEPs are distributed, what kind of work they do there, and the significance of their role for the citizens of the European Union," said representatives from Elexalde Institute.

An “interesting” visit, according to the Galdakao institute

"During the visit, students discovered the European Parliament through interactive multimedia screens. They also learned how it functions, its importance, and its impact on daily life in Europe. Students even traveled through time, immersing themselves in key historical events worldwide," they added.

"Pernando Barrena emphasized the importance of engaging with representatives from different political groups to defend Basque interests. He also highlighted the challenges posed by the far-right in advancing their proposals. Additionally, he pointed out the low voter turnout in the European elections, explaining that many citizens see Europe as something distant. He further explained the role of the European Parliament and the significance of the Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen in enabling the discussion of legislative projects," they stated from Elexalde.

"Students had prepared questions, and Barrena answered all of them. We are grateful for the opportunity to visit the European Parliament thanks to Pernando Barrena’s invitation. We are certain that this experience will contribute to the personal and academic growth of our students."

More visits

In addition to visiting the European Parliament, Elexalde students and teachers explored several places in Brussels.

"On the first day, we visited the colorful Christmas markets of Brussels, tasted traditional waffles, and enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the city’s streets, as well as the lights and music at the Grand Place," they shared.

"On the second day, we visited some of Brussels' most iconic landmarks: the Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Atomium, and the Saint Michael and Saint Gudula Cathedrals. We had a great time and truly immersed ourselves in Brussels' culture."

On the third day, they visited the European Parliament, and on the fourth day, they returned to Galdakao.

They described the experience as “enriching, unique, exceptional, and educational.”

"This visit to the European Parliament will help our students gain a greater awareness and understanding of the institution’s role in their lives as active citizens of the European Union," they concluded.

Two Elexalde Teachers Participate in a Job Shadowing Program in Romania

From September 23 to 27, the Erasmus+ program coordinator and another English teacher from Elexalde BHI took part in a job shadowing experience in Romania, within the framework of the Erasmus KA120 accreditation project.

The main goal of this job shadowing was to observe the daily workings of a Romanian school and gain a deeper understanding of the Romanian education system. This would allow them to integrate new teaching methods and techniques that could help improve their own school.

During their stay, the two teachers observed the operations of Iași National College, attending classes in Latin, Computer Science, English, History, and French. They also participated in a roundtable discussion on the Romanian education system, comparing it to that of the Basque Country, and attended presentations by Romanian students on active citizenship projects.

Romanian Education System and Student Excellence

According to the teachers, an important highlight of the visit was learning that, after completing the eighth grade, Romanian students must take the Testare Națională (National Exam). Based on their scores, they can choose which high school to attend.

The students who chose National College of Iași, where the job shadowing took place, had to obtain an average score of at least 9.5. As a result, these students demonstrate exceptional dedication to academic excellence, fostering a highly competitive learning environment.

Furthermore, Romanian students regularly compete in national and international educational Olympiads in subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, Philosophy, Roman Literature, Astrophysics, Geography, Latin, and English, often achieving top rankings.

Collaboration and Future Projects

In addition to being an accredited school, Iași National College participates in several Erasmus projects, which opened the door for Elexalde High School to potentially join a sustainability-related project with a Lithuanian school in the future.

During their visit, local education inspectors shared data on national exam results with the Elexalde teachers. They were also interviewed by Iași Television and the school’s magazine.

Additionally, Ms. Turcanașu, a history teacher and host of the visit, guided them through a tour focused on the historical memory of Iași and Romania.

Comparing Education Systems

The job shadowing experience was highly enriching, providing valuable insights into the differences between the two education systems. One key takeaway was that Romanian students' university admission is based solely on their Bacalaureat exam results (equivalent to Spain’s EBAU).

Moreover, students who achieve exceptional grades receive financial incentives, encouraging academic excellence.

The experience proved to be extremely fruitful, offering the participating teachers numerous ideas for potential implementation at Elexalde.

Romanian Teachers Visit Elexalde

As part of this exchange, two teachers from Iași National College visited Elexalde High School from December 9 to 13, 2024.

During their stay, they had the opportunity to observe how Elexalde operates, gain insight into the Basque education system, and explore various teaching practices that they could potentially implement upon returning to Romania.

Italian Students Working on Galdakao’s Historical Memory

For the third consecutive year, students from Elexalde High School in Galdakao have participated in the Discover and Share Your Identity Mark project, part of the Erasmus+ program in Europe. Over the past few years, this initiative has facilitated student exchanges with Greece, Poland, Germany, and Italy. This year, six students and two teachers from Caserta, a town in southern Italy, traveled to Galdakao for a one-week stay.

According to the project organizers, the main goal this year is for students to explore new realities beyond their local contexts. To achieve this, they are encouraged to discover, share, and reflect on the cultural, natural, and historical heritage of different regions.

As part of this initiative, Elexalde teachers explained that students are currently working on Historical Memory as part of the Erasmus+ project. To contribute, students from Elexalde High School have prepared several videos on the Spanish Civil War, which they created in Basque and English. These videos were showcased to the Italian students on their first day in Galdakao.

Beyond its historical significance, the project also serves as a unique opportunity for students to communicate in English and improve their language skills.

The Iron Belt Route

As part of this week’s scheduled activities, the group visited Galdakao’s City Hall this Friday, where they were welcomed by Mayor Iñigo Hernando. The mayor greeted them warmly and wished them an enjoyable stay, encouraging them to explore and appreciate "our town and the mountains and forests that surround us."

During the visit, he showed them the commemorative plaque honoring the 1931–1936 municipal governments, which has been displayed in the City Hall’s plenary session room since 2013. This plaque serves as a reminder that those governments lived through some of the most turbulent years, including the military coup that led to the Spanish Civil War.

In connection with this historical theme, on Saturday, the students will embark on the Iron Belt Route, which, as the mayor highlighted, is “one of our historical monuments.” This route will allow them to explore key elements from the Civil War, such as bunkers, shelters, and numerous trenches. Through this experience, they will gain a deeper understanding of the defensive line built to protect Bilbao and its industrial areas from the attacks of the rebel army.

An International Exchange of Educational Practices

Additionally, as part of this international project, two Romanian teachers have also visited Galdakao to observe new teaching methodologies and improve their own educational models.

This Erasmus+ exchange program also includes a reciprocal visit: two Elexalde teachers have spent a week in Romania to learn about its education system and explore ways to implement improvements in their own teaching practices.
