Spanish project day at the high school: Four teachers inspire students!

On June 15, 2025,

at Teterower Gymnasium was organized by an exciting project day on the subject of Spanish, which introduced the students into the rich culture and language. Four committed women entered the footsteps of teachers and brought a breath of fresh air to class. Sulma Aguilar and Sensi Cabrera from Honduras as well as Laura Serrano and Idalina Rodriguez-Lanzas from Spain introduced themselves to the curious eight-graders. A few years ago, the women decided to start a new life in Germany and had to master the German language, such as nordkurier.de reported.

Sulma Aguilar fled from her home country because of the high crime and found support in the integration café and a free church community. Integration courses are of fundamental importance for them and many other immigrants who are looking for a new home in Germany. These were introduced in 2005 to promote language and values. According to [Integrationsordpragte.de] (https://www.integrationsbeittragte.de/ib-de/ich-moechte-mehr-wissen-ueber/integrations-und- language courses) over two million people took part in such courses and were therefore not only able to understand the language, but also German culture and values ​​better.

integration by language

Laura Serrano, who came to Teterow because of love, can only confirm the importance of language courses. In order to be accepted into the courses, she first had to report unemployed. This experience is crucial for many women who are looking for the way into the world of work. Sulma is now working in a nursing home, Easiness has her position as a dental technician in Güstrow, while Laura is now working as a nurse. Idalina Rodriguez-Lanzas has established herself as a project manager at the Formats Association in Teterow.

On the project day, the 86 eighth graders had the opportunity to use their knowledge you have already learned. They not only received information about the Spanish language, but also exciting insights into the topics of democracy and dictatorship in Latin America. Julia Borzinski, the Spanish teacher, expressed the desire to organize this project day annually in order to enable the students an even deeper examination of the matter.

The way to citizenship

A regrettable topic that Laura Serrano appealed during class was the changed mood in Germany. Some of the women who were present at the project day consider applying for German citizenship, but this is associated with certain requirements, such as five years of regular work. Sulma Aguilar made her application for citizenship a year ago and hopes to be part of the German society soon.

Overall, the history of these four women is an impressive example of how integration can be achieved using language. The participants at the integration courses acquire skills that help them find their way around German everyday life. The language courses are not only key to professional success, but also for social interaction, which is also clearly emphasized by [Integrationslieftragte.de] (https://www.integrationslungs.de/ib-de/ich-moechte-wissen-ueber/integration and--und-sprache courses).
