“Nómadas del Viento”: Una experiencia de acogida intercultural en el CEIP Francisco Arranz

Abstract

This article describes the beginning of a series of initiatives taking place in an educational community (teachers, pupils and family) so as to identifying the best practices of reception for new members who come to Francisco Arranz school. The search starts with organizing a film club, Nomads of the wind, and continues with the decision to create a comfortable climate all through welcome signs, story creation, songs and cross-sections in the school newspaper. Although Spanish is the sole language used in the school, this experience shows how to seize cultural and linguistic diversity as a source of enrichment and learning for all. It also shows how teamwork and participation of the entire school community can develop practices that generate intercultural education.
