The Pepita Pérez Kindergarten, located in Chipiona, has taken another step in its educational internationalization strategy by participating in the Initial Workshops for Erasmus+ K121 Mobility Projects. The event, held in Albacete on September 22nd and 23rd, brought together representatives from educational centers across Spain to discuss the program's updates and opportunities.
The participation of this Early Childhood Education center (0-3 years old) is particularly significant. The school actively works to integrate the European dimension into the daily lives of its students and the entire educational community. The main objective of the Erasmus+ project is to bring Europe closer through activities, experiences, cultural exchanges, and the knowledge of other educational systems.
In addition to training and mobility for teaching staff, the school's management has indicated that new mobility possibilities for students are being explored. Among these initiatives, they aim to facilitate opportunities for children, accompanied by a family member, to have European experiences adapted to their age.
The educational team emphasizes that introducing Erasmus+ in Early Childhood Education expands learning opportunities from the earliest years, fostering values such as respect for other cultures, coexistence, diversity, and a greater openness towards Europe.
“"We want to demonstrate that the European dimension also has a place in a school for 0 to 3 year olds. Erasmus+ allows us to learn from other centers, discover new ways of working, and offer our students and their families experiences that, although small due to their age, can have great educational significance."
The Pepita Pérez Kindergarten will continue to implement new European activities, mobilities, and collaborations during the 2026/2027 academic year. For this purpose, it has a budget of 12,000 euros allocated to these initiatives, aiming to consolidate Erasmus+ as a key tool for learning and growth for the entire educational community of Chipiona.
