"Juan López Morillas" School is located in a rural area called Mágina, fifty kilometres from the capital city of the province, Jaén. So it is in a way quite isolated, close to the mountains and in a very poor agricultural area which is quite depressed at the moment. The main source of living is the olive tree and oil. Most families live on agriculture or building, and usually both father and mother work for a living. Family structures are quite homogeneous and we have few students from abroad (from Romania, Lithuania, Peru). So we have a homogeneous model of classes.

We are comprehensive school, dealing with GCSE level and A level students. Students learn two foreign languages- English is their first foreign language and French as second. Students are divided into eleven groups. Their age vary from 13-18.There are 30 teachers and all our pupils come from Jodar, except two. There are two special needs groups, that is students who have problems to get the minimum objectives proposed by the educational system and they go to groups where they get some more reinforcement in basic materials as Spanish language and Maths. They are not psychologically or physically challenged.

As this will be our first experience on a Comenius project, we should motivate them, make them aware of the importance of getting to know other people and cultures and work hard for that purpose. We have no experience in any other Comenius project, or any type of European funding projects.
