XXV Children’s Drawing Contest “This is my Mexico”
The period of our history known as the War of Independence begins at dawn on September 16th 1810, when Father Miguel Hidalgo pronounced the “Grito de Dolores” and ends on September 27, 1821 with the triumphant entry of the Trigarante Army, headed by Agustín de Iturbide and Vicente Guerrero, into Mexico City. For this reason, every year on the 16th of September the Independence of Mexico is commemorated with festivities and gatherings in Mexico and around the world. In these events we celebrate Mexican culture, the gastronomy of each state, regional Mexican music and typical costumes are worn. For this reason, the Institute for Mexicans Abroad has selected for the XXV Children’s Drawing Contest “This is my Mexico” the following theme: “The Independence of Mexico”
Participants must submit their drawings to the Embassy of Mexico in Korea or send them by email to culturalcor@sre.gob.mx
The Call will remain open until August 15, 2021.

How to live as an exchange student in Spain: Almeria, Andalucia

I would like to introduce you to what it was like when that dream-like thing actually happened, and what kind of city is Almeria, where I live now. Almeria is a city in Andalucia, Spain. It is a Spanish city that I first knew while preparing for an exchange student despite my major in Spanish studies. The Andalusian region was the longest-held territory when Islamic forces ruled Spain. Therefore, it is famous for its unique architectural and cultural style mixed with Islam and Catholicism.
