Hi!  My name is  Eva and I have been part of the fascinating world of Education for 21 years (wow! Where has time gone?).     I have had the chance to teach and learn in different levels: from Infant School to 6th graders. I am a Primary School English teacher. I studied my Teaching Degree and my Pscychopedagogy Degree at the University of Girona.  My adventure in CLIL started in 2009, when I was given a paid leave by the Department of Education of Catalonia to receive training in CLIL at the University of Nottingham, where I learned from great teachers. In 2017, as head of studies, some teachers of my school and I engaged in an Innovative Project called "Generació Plurilingüe" (GEP) which aimed to introduce and implement CLIL in Catalan schools. I have also participated in eTwinning projects and I have received two National Quality Labels and two European Quality Labels. I am very curious and I am in constant training to keep developing professionally. Eva 💖
