They encouraged teamwork and the exchange of knowledge and pedagogical practices among students. The involvement of educators is a decisive factor in the success of the program, allowing students to feel safe and motivated to participate actively.

Academic Benefits Participating in international mobility programs, such as the one in Bulgaria, provides not only cultural but also academic learning. During the exchange, students were able to study areas related to traditional subjects, with a more practical and direct approach. Contact with new methodologies and learning resources can be an important driver for the academic development of participants.Feedback and Reflection

After completing this experience, it is essential that students share their experiences with the school community. This not only consolidates the learning, but also inspires other students to get involved in similar opportunities. In addition, feedback reflects in the formation of a more cohesive and internationalized school community. Sociocultural Impact

Finally, participating in the Erasmus program in Bulgaria is not only a personal gain for the students, but also a significant step forward for the Almeirim School Group and its pursuit of quality education.
