SERVICE-LEARNING - LEARN HOW TO MANAGE YOUR FINANCES
The project has two aims:
The first one is to improve the citizens’ knowledge of finance in order to make the best decisions when managing personal and professional finances.
The second aim is for the students studying a degree in Business Managment ( - ) to broaden, put into practice and explain the finance content learned during the school year. This would enable them to consolidate the adquired knowledge.
Student motivation will be fostered in two ways. On the one hand, the contents seen in class with be contextualized within daily life situations. On the other hand, the acquired knowledge will be transferred to the social context of the school by having the students teach private lessons to the community by using the contents seen previously in class.
Contributing to the principles of Ambassador Schools of the European Union, the project puts into practice one of the Sustainable
Development Goals: Decent Work and Economic Growth. One of the targets of this goal is to “Strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all” (SDG Indicators — SDG Indicators, n.d.).

GREEN CLASSROOM PROJECT: ECOLOGICAL GARDEN IN MY IES
Maybe the idea of an urban garden is something that is thought to be from the past, which is true, or even a trendy methodology, which is also true. However, this goes beyond that. Ecological awareness and observation and respect for the natural world comes from a real environmental need. Therefore, the use of an urban garden can lead us towards multiple learning and personal and professional development oportunities that must be taken advantage of.
This project has been set out based on the traditional use of urban garden for the cultivation of vegetables as an educational resource. Therefore, activities and iniciatives related to personal and social competences in Vocational Education Training are developed through its use as an educational
resource.
Moreover, this projet is closely related to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
