The project, awarded the National eTwinning Prize for Best Project and the European eTwinning Prize, has positioned the Jaén-based school among educational leaders in innovation and international collaboration. Mayor Millán highlighted that the European Prize represents "educational gold in international projects" and emphasized the prestige of a recognition that values the joint work of teachers and students from 5th and 6th grade of Primary Education.
This project stood out among more than 1,500 proposals from schools across Europe, demonstrating the Jaén educational community's capacity to develop innovative initiatives and foster collaborative learning.
The mayor specifically congratulated the teaching team for their "work, dedication, and educational vocation," as well as for the time and effort they dedicated beyond school hours to make this initiative possible. He noted that the recognition highlights the excellence, innovation, and educational collaboration of the Divino Maestro school.
Millán also extended his congratulations to the participating children, thanking them for their involvement and effort in achieving such a significant award. He also highlighted the opportunity this experience provided for them to learn other languages actively, work in multicultural teams, and develop advanced digital skills.
During the reception, the school's director and several teachers explained the project's content, development, and its impact on student learning and the educational community itself.
Councilor for Education, Eva Funes, used the visit to introduce the students to the functioning of local government and explain the City Council's role in managing the city. She also presented the Plenary Hall, the space where council sessions are held and municipal matters are debated and decided.
