KLB School has been working on joint projects since 1997.
Socrates for schools, otherwise known as "Comenius", is designed to
create a 'Europe of Schools' by organizing
"multilateral" partnerships between Schools of the Union to achieve
European Educational Projects (EEP).
The motto is: "promote
cooperation in the school world and spread the cultures and languages of
European countries."
Schools involved in a European Educational
Project may:
- have students take part in projects of European interest (on
subjects such as the environment, artistic heritage, science and
technology, etc.);
- exchange teaching materials, information and experience in the
latest pedagogical methods;
- create staff exchanges to encourage contact between teachers from
different countries;
- make use of the technology of information and communication to spread
the results of the partnership.
At the end of each academic year a representative group of teachers from all the partner schools meet to discuss the outcomes of the current year and to plan activities for the following year.
The venue for the annual conference changes each year and rotates between the partner countries. Staff feel it is important to meet in each other's schools since Comenius is not only about interaction between pupils but also a valuable platform for teachers to observe first hand the cultural differences in other European schools.
