The students from the Erasmus programme who were studying for four months at HUHEZI, The Faculty of Humanities and Education at Mondragon University, have returned home. There were 9 students altogether, 7 in Teacher Training and 2 in Audiovisual Communication.

None of them knew Basque or Spanish so English was their language of communication. Four of their subjects were taken along with our students, and during their stay here they have had a student-companion from the faculty to help them integrate.

The students of Teacher Training carried out teaching practice in Ikastola Arizmendi, whilst the students from Audiovisual Communication were in Goiena, a local communications company. Julia Barnes has been the academic coordinator for their stay.
