Nottingham teachers involved in the ‘Háblame' project visit their partner schools in Coahuila , Mexico

Teachers from schools in Nottingham taking part in ‘Háblame' will be visiting the state of Coahuila in Mexico in October this year to meet their counterparts and pupils from their partner schools and get a flavour of Mexican culture. The aim of the visit is to strengthen the relationship between schools in both countries involved in this project and to plan future joint curricular activities. This visit will also be an opportunity for the British teachers to know more about Mexico and its rich and fascinating culture and to practice and improve their Spanish language skills. MUNDI and the Local Education Authority in Coahuila are currently planning and co-ordinating this visit, which will be reciprocated next year when the Mexican teachers will be coming to Nottingham .
