An Exercise in Solidarity for Students

In Valencia there are many people and organisations who dedicate their time and energy to helping others less fortunate than themselves.

With this activity, using Valencia International and Business News’ section on co-operation, teachers can encourage their students to discover some of the good works taking place in Valencia, and maybe invite them to write about an NGO or individual they know about.

We will be happy to publish the results.
