Our European Development Plan
ICT BASED TEACHING AND LEARNING & INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
The aim of our project was to promote digital competences and boost entrepreneurship towards new European projects and consequently encourage the evolution of Kolymvari Junior High School into a school of the future and direct its reformation process into a school with European dimension. The objectives of our plan were the development of the professional skills of our teachers, the employment of new learning tools, the deeper understanding and exchange of good practices in different European education systems, the improvement of foreign language and the broadening of their socio-cultural horizon. The main activities were training courses in differentiated ICT based teaching and learning approaches and in quality European project management, in the Czech Republic, Dublin, Latvia and the Netherlands, creating an ambitious and long route from the Mediterranean to the Irish and Baltic Sea through central Europe. The impact of our plan on Kolymvari Junior High School as a whole was a more dynamic working environment, a school that is ready to incorporate good practices on the aforementioned thematic fields taking into consideration the students’ needs. Our school is now able to operate at a European and international level. The gained European Added Value trigged changes in terms of international opening through Erasmus+ strategic partnerships with schools for the benefit of our students. Finally, this project increased our school’s good reputation in the local and broader community. |
