More than 30 students from our International Baccalaureate (IB) programme recently participated in FLORA, the International Flower Festival of Córdoba. This prestigious global event unites art, nature, and heritage, transforming the city’s historic courtyards into stunning floral installations created by artists from around the world.
For our students, FLORA offered far more than an artistic experience. It was an immersive international learning opportunity that allowed them to collaborate with global artists, explore creative processes, and serve as cultural ambassadors. They guided visitors through the meaning behind each work of art, fostering dialogue and connection through beauty and emotion.
Through this experience, students strengthened key IB skills such as critical thinking, intercultural communication, creativity, and social awareness. These abilities extend beyond the classroom, shaping confident and empathetic young people prepared to engage with a complex global society.
At the British School of Córdoba, we believe that education should be transformative and relevant to the world beyond school. Participating in international events like FLORA empowers our students to learn in authentic, inspiring contexts that encourage imagination, leadership, and social responsibility.
Our mission is to nurture well-rounded, globally minded individuals who appreciate diversity, think creatively, and act with purpose. Experiences like FLORA exemplify how we prepare students not only for academic success but also to understand, create, and positively shape the world around them.
