More than 400 students from 8 educational centers have gathered at the Ontinyent Municipal Sports Center to enjoy a day of sports activities and games, but also coexistence, to foster relationships and communication between students from different centers.
The educational centers that have attended are: IES Jaume I, Colegio San José, Colegio Santa María, IES L’Estació, Colegio Pureza de María and Colegio La Concepción de Ontinyent, IES Bocairent de Bocairent and IES Vermellar de l’Olleria.
