On the afternoon of Wednesday, 24 September, at 7:00 p.m., the president of the
Federation of Troops and Legions, Eduardo Conesa, the councillors of the Cartagena City
Council Government Team, María Belén Romero and María Francisca Martínez, and the
mayor of Roche, Isabel Lainez, presided over the ceremony to recognise the 12 schools in
our municipality (CEIPs Sán Félix, Asdrúbal, Azorín, Félix Rguez de la Fuente, San
Fulgencio, La Concepción, Jose Mª de la Puerta, Virgen del Carmen, San Isidoro and
Virginia Pérez de El Algar, and the Hispania and San Vicente de Paul Schools) and CEIP
Ginés Cabezos de Roche, for participating in the Cartagena Department of Education’s
Educational Programme called “Hannibal in Europe”, which leads them to become
members of the Network of Ambassador Schools for the Carthaginians and Romans
Festival and the Hannibal Route, which also includes five French schools.
This educational programme has been running for the third year running during this
academic year, as part of the Erasmus+ project known as BESH, and it is hoped that it will
continue in future academic years as part of the Carthaginians and Romans Festival’s
commitment to promoting the history of our city in schools in our municipality and the
surrounding area.
The recognition is reflected in the presentation of a representative plaque to be placed in
the facilities of the participating schools. In addition, all of them will receive a map as a
souvenir with locations, characters and battles that played a leading role in the Second
Punic War to be used as robotics material in the Classrooms of the Future promoted by
the Regional Ministry of Education of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia.
