Welcome meeting 2015 (Spain)

The last 13rd of October 2015, the second welcome meeting for new families was organized as a part of our goals in this Project.

Apart from we have had the opportunity of knowing one each other, we explained who we were, what participation ways for families at school were or how to be involved in S.E.L.F. project, among other contents.
It was a nice and productive meeting where we felt that we were involved in a community project that could change our future model for Early Ages Education.
