IES PUIG DE SA FONT
Our school is a public secondary school placed in Son Servera in the East of Mallorca, at about 65 km from the capital city. Our school offers degrees in Compulsory Secondary Education with 800 students aged from 12 to 16 and post Compulsory Education, comprising vocational training in cooking as well as Bachillerato (pre-university and higher vocational studies). It also offers programs for some students who are unable to achieve ordinary degrees, in order to avoid early school leaving. We work jointly with the local government to provide enterprises which help those students to learn a profession as well as to get a certificate showing their abilities. There are 85 teachers working in our school, and every year about 15% of them change their destination. Despite of doing our best to provide a clean and socially warm environment to our students, we are facing difficulties in raising their awareness in keeping the school area clean and in breaking down the socio-cultural barriers among them due to the fact of the high diversity among our 800 enrolled students: from 26 different nationalities. Many of them come from a European Country, but we also have students from different African countries (Senegal, Nigeria, among others), from Pakistan and other non- European countries. We also have a large variety of students, most of whom are from families working in the tourist area. In many cases their families work only in summer and there is a high rate of unemployment. Our school vision pays attention to these kids and we aim to give them opportunities to feel integrated; the opportunity to exchange and communicate their experience with other students from different countries, languages, cultures and traditions while showing their own as well, which improves their motivation and their knowledge about foreign countries, languages, sciences, arts and technologies of the real Europe. Thanks to this project, we would like to overcome the common physical and social environment problems with our partners through an effective use of trendy mobile softwares within advertising which is another way of taking one’s attention on a specific subject.
