I spent my year abroad in Spain working in a bilingual primary school where Science, Music and Art were taught in English. I assisted in the running of classroom activities, gave presentations and planned and prepared Science classes. I worked with children aged 4-11 years.I also participated in Isaac Albeniz's Comenius project, a project promoted by the European Union, which involved the cooperation of schools across Europe. Teachers from Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland and Spain shared their skills and ideas with the aim of enhancing children's knowledge and understanding of other cultures. This was achieved through communication in the English language. In addition to acting as a host when teachers from Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland visited Cuenca, I also produced the English subtitles for a short documentary about the traditional production of pottery in Cuenca.
