Last Friday, diplomas were presented to all those successful students who completed the Spanish Course for Foreigners, 40 hours of classes, provided by the Torrevieja council.
The event was attended by Gitte Lund Thomsen, Councilor for International Residents, Jean Paul Mulero, director of the Office of Attention to Migrant Persons (PANGEA) and Carmen Cerezo Aledo, president of the Association of Volunteers with Social Initiative (ATIS).
This diploma will help all of the students to be able to request the social roots report, a prerequisite to request residency in Spain.
The course, which began in November 2023 and ended in January 2024, was taught by ATIS teachers: Querubina Imbernón Valero and Belén Argüelles González, in collaboration with the PANGEA office of the Torrevieja City Council.
The classes were taught in the Miguel Hernández classroom of the Virgen del Carmen Cultural Centre, and two cultural visits were also made as part of the course, one to Las Salinas and the other to the Casino Cultural Society of Torrevieja.
The participating students who attended the Spanish course for foreigners cover three continents: Europe, Africa and Asia, thus demonstrating a sample of the current multicultural society of Torrevieja residents.
