The Cedros delegation was impressed by Marcet’s educational structure and the dedication and personalized approach given to each student. Paulo César, Football Coordinator at Cedros, highlighted: “We were fortunate to have two of our students participate in the Summer Camp here, which opened the door to this collaboration. At Marcet, just like at Cedros, integral education is highly valued, and that’s something we want to reinforce in our institution.”

There’s still work to be done in Mexico, but experiences like this motivate us to keep pushing forward.”

It’s a connection that extends beyond the field, which is vital for the comprehensive development of young people. It’s something we will seek to implement at Cedros.”

The visit from Cedros International School to Marcet provided them with new tools and knowledge and reinforced the importance of an educational approach that prioritizes both sports and personal development. With this experience, Cedros plans to implement practices in their institution that strengthen the comprehensive education of their students, adapting what they’ve learned to their context in Mexico.
