OUR REWARDFUL JOB HAS WON

Today, we have reciebed the noticed that our blog EuroCora has won the contest Euroscola 2016! This contest celebrated the 30th aniversary of Spain in the EU, and consisted on explaining how Spain has evolved in the last 30 years thanks to this and using digital media only.

We worked for over 3 months for this task and interviewed important people such as Ana Pastor, Minister of Development of Spain. Not only the winner class has worked in this project (3th course of secundary education: bilinguals), but also all the school (Colegio Corazón de María de Zamora), every single teacher and student, directly or indirectly.

All that hard work has not been fruitless. We have been one of the top 5 schools, among the 15 prizable; the best blog of Castilla y León and the 2nd best blog in the bilingual class. We are so delighted about this notice!
