¿Qué se siente al vivir un día como una persona mayor?
Nuestros alumnos han podido experimentarlo gracias a un taller muy especial, guiado por una madre del colegio y profesora universitaria experta en Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública.
Durante la actividad, sintieron de primera mano los cambios físicos y sensoriales que trae la edad, desde la movilidad y coordinación hasta pequeños desafíos cotidianos que muchos mayores enfrentan. Una experiencia que va más allá de lo académico y que invita a mirar el mundo con más empatía y comprensión.
Una vivencia que nos recuerda la importancia de acompañar y respetar mejor a nuestros mayores en el día a día.

What does it feel like to live a day as an older adult?
Our students had the chance to experience this in a very special workshop, led by a parent from the school and a university professor, expert in Preventive Medicine and Public Health.
During the activity, they felt firsthand the physical and sensory changes that come with age, from mobility and coordination to the small everyday challenges many older adults face. This experience goes beyond academics and encourages us to look at the world with more empathy and understanding.
A powerful reminder of the importance of supporting and respecting older adults every day.

La solidaridad forma parte de nuestra manera de educar
Queremos dar las gracias a toda la comunidad del Colegio Europeo de Madrid por su implicación en la Operación Kilo.
Los alumnos de 3º de ESO, dentro del programa CAS (Creatividad, Acción y Servicio) del IB, han sido los impulsores de esta iniciativa solidaria que, gracias a la colaboración de familias, alumnado y equipo CEM, ha permitido recaudar 392 kilos de alimentos en colaboración con el Banco de Alimentos, para quienes más lo necesitan.
Acciones como esta reflejan los valores que trabajamos cada día en CEM y refuerzan la importancia de educar en la empatía, el compromiso y la ayuda a los demás.

Solidarity is part of the way we educate.
We would like to thank the entire Colegio Europeo de Madrid community for their involvement in the Operación Kilo.
Students in Year 9 (3º ESO), as part of the IB CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service) programme, led this solidarity initiative. Thanks to the collaboration of families, students and the CEM team, we were able to collect 392 kilos of food in collaboration with the Food Bank, supporting those who need it most.
Initiatives like this reflect the values we work on every day at CEM and reinforce the importance of educating in empathy, commitment and helping others.

Comenzamos la semana compartiendo los logros lingüísticos de nuestros alumnos ✨
Antes de las vacaciones de Navidad, celebramos la ceremonia de entrega de certificados de idiomas, un momento muy especial para reconocer el esfuerzo y la dedicación de quienes se presentaron a pruebas oficiales el pasado curso. Cambridge, FIT, chino, alemán… y en distintos niveles, con resultados excelentes, incluyendo varios C2 en inglés.
Mención especial para dos alumnos que se atrevieron con tres certificaciones y las superaron con éxito 👏
Empezamos el año recordando estos logros que nos llenan de orgullo y que reflejan la fuerza de nuestro proyecto multilingüe. ¡Enhorabuena a todos!

We’re starting the week by sharing our students’ language achievements ✨
Before the Christmas holidays, we held our language certificates award ceremony — a special moment to recognise the effort and dedication of students who took official language exams last academic year. Cambridge, FIT, Chinese, German… across different year groups, with excellent results, including several C2 levels in English.
A special mention goes to two students who sat three different exams and passed them all 👏
We begin the year by looking back proudly on these achievements, which truly reflect the strength of our multilingual programme. Congratulations to all!

Fue una tarde especial, cargada de emoción y orgullo, que nos recordó que el paso por el colegio no termina al graduarse: los lazos permanecen y la comunidad sigue creciendo con cada reencuentro. 💙
Gracias a todos los que volvisteis a casa. ¡Siempre será vuestro colegio!
