Taking part in a KA2 action gave us the chance to work with Secondary Schools from abroad, expanded our knowledge and views on education in other European countries. Furthermore, we share the issue of integration, inclusion and multiculturalism with other schools. We implemented foreign internship projects mainly in Spain, but also in Germany and France. The staff also take part in courses, training and job shadowing, unfortunately it is not a large group due to the language barrier. We are eager to join the Strategic Partnership, because it gives us the opportunity to get to know other education systems, especially other cultures and to improve language skills.
