The Vice-Rectors at Deusto, Julia González Ferreras, for International Relations, and Mª Begoña Arrieta Heras, for Academic Organisation, presented these projects to secondary education representatives. In addition, these projects may lead to future collaborations in initiatives promoted by the University or by educational institutions regarding issues such as projects with educational institutions in other fields, the internationalisation of educational establishments, and language improvement projects.These projects were very well received by the educational institutions, whose first working groups are expected to begin their activity shortly.
