Teaching English in Spain

Hi Everyone.
 
We hope that you and your families are keeping well in this strange and difficult time.
 
They say that a crisis often brings out the best in people and it's wonderful to see how professionals in the education world are already supporting each other despite the concerns about welfare and the inevitable difficulties of finding new ways of working.
 
We wanted to offer something too, so we are relaunching our newsletter this month to bring together links to a variety of initiatives and resources to help support you in the change to online working. We've got news about free British Council webinars and MOOCs alongside other free FutureLearn courses and open access to all of their web content from Magisterio.
 
Also, for those of you in need of some art take a look at Five Films for Freedom launching tomorrow!    Also, as you will know many museums are opening their virtual doors to help us get to know their collections. Some examples below!

We hope that you will find some inspiration and support in our round up and we'll be back with another newsletter soon.
 
And in the meantime, remember that you can keep up to date with everything we are doing through our British Council Spain Facebook and  Twitter accounts and on our webpage. 
 
¡Hasta pronto, ánimo ... and keep safe!
 
The English Programmes Team (Anne, Beatriz, Mark and Maureen)
