Six students from Mirasur School —Martina Muñiz, Noa Estrada, Irene de los Ríos, Avika Sharma, Carolina Martínez and Daniela Sanz— travelled to Romania to participate in the first mobility of the European project Erasmus+ Together for Equality, accompanied by teachers Yolanda Segura and Héctor Delgado.

Together for Equality aims to raise awareness and promote respect, empathy and acceptance of differences related to religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability and racism. In this first phase, the participating countries —Romania, Greece, Portugal, Türkiye and Spain— focused on the theme of religions.

Throughout the week, international teams reflected on key questions such as “Do we really know the pillars of each religion?”. Through presentations and collaborative activities, each country explained the foundations of different faiths and how to respect their differences. This exchange allowed students to better understand religious diversity and strengthened values of tolerance and coexistence.

In addition to the educational sessions, the students enjoyed a wide cultural programme. In Târgoviște, they visited various churches and monasteries, where they learned about the history and religious heritage of the city. They also took part in workshops on non-discrimination based on religion at the local Teacher Training Centre.

The visit included a trip to Bucharest, where they explored the Parliament and the main streets of the capital, accompanied by students from Colegiul Național Vladimir Streinu—an experience our students described as “wonderful”.

Academically, the participants are collaborating on the creation of an eBook and the selection of the project’s official logo, encouraging creativity, cooperation and intercultural dialogue.

he accompanying teachers highlighted the great educational value of this international experience.
Yolanda Segura explained: “This project helps us educate our students in deep respect for everything that makes us different. They learn that diversity is a strength and develop genuine empathy.”

Meanwhile, Héctor Delgado added:
“Erasmus+ allows our students to live alongside young people from other countries, discover new ways of understanding the world and develop skills that will stay with them for life. It is a truly transformative experience.”
