The students from IES Siete Colinas, specifically those studying French in the fourth year of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) and the first year of Bachillerato, participated in a cultural day in Málaga on 27 October 2026, coinciding with the 32nd French Film Festival. This event is a significant opportunity to engage with the French language and culture through cinema.
In the morning, the students attended one of the festival's screenings, sharing the experience with peers from other educational institutions in the province. This outing allowed them to enjoy French cinema in a setting outside the classroom, enhancing their oral comprehension and providing insights into different cultural realities.
The activity served as a practical and motivating way to learn French, highlighting the importance of cinema as an educational tool and a medium for exploring diverse expressions, customs, and perspectives. Participation in such initiatives fosters curiosity among students and reinforces their interest in learning foreign languages.
The afternoon continued with a visit to the Automobile and Fashion Museum in Málaga, where students discovered the evolution of automobiles through various eras and explored an intriguing collection of fashion and design history. This second activity enriched the cultural aspect of the excursion, offering insights into the social, aesthetic, and technological changes that have shaped different historical periods.
Thus, the students from the Ceuta-based institute completed an intense day where French learning was intertwined with cultural and artistic discovery. This educational experience outside the classroom promotes coexistence, participation, and meaningful learning, allowing students to connect classroom content with real-life experiences.
Through initiatives like this, the school continues to advocate for an education that is open to the environment and complementary activities that enrich students' academic and personal development, fostering interest in other cultures and the importance of language learning as a means of communication and connection between peoples.
