O IES As Telleiras está inmerso nun proxecto europeo Erasmus + KA 229 co Mary Immaculate High School do País de Gales (2019 / 2021) chamado “Disconnect to Reconnect”.
Coa finalidade de acercar a cultura deste país amigo ao alumnado do noso centro, especialmente aos protagonistas destes dous anos de traballo en común, iremos presentando na nosa páxina web distintos aspectos da realidade cultural, histórica, social e toda a información que consideremos adecuada para que coñezamos en profundidade a cultura do que vai ser o país de acollida na nosa mobilidade europea de outubro 2020.
Usaremos tamén este espazo para darlle sostenibilidade ao noso proxecto, xa que continuaremos formando ao alumnado do noso centro na realidade galesa unha vez rematado o citado proxecto Erasmus +.
