Schools

Therefore classrooms are equipped with boards InterWrite. Teachers have received training in the use of this tool in their work. Students during film and radio clubs create films, broadcasts using various computer programs and are taught to perform professionally photograph and manipulate them.Videos are posted on youtube channel TVSLO WROC. Zespol Szkol Salezjańskich has very rich activities for students: students participate in ecological project led by Polish Ecological Club.The school is organizer regional competition: ZLOTE PIORO. The school cooperates with SP6ZWR Rescue Spaces Club. They jointly organized the flight of the stratospheric balloon.

The school is going to take part in the project, because after the third year of work, it is an opportunity for the development of ourschool, increasing young teachers’ motivation to work, raising their qualifications.

High School Agiou Charalambous is located in the East of the town of Paphos, in Emba village. A small village 5km away from Paphos town. We also have a harbor and the Paphos airport is 12km away .

Over 350 students of the ages 15-18 years old are studying in our school. The school has 60 teachers in total, along with another 15 general staff.

Our school offers four different categories for academic studies, that students choose to follow according to their needs for entering universities. The four paths that they can choose to follow in their first studying year are those below:

• The first one has Ancient Greek, Latin, History and Philosophy.

• The second one has Mathematics, Physics, Science, Biology and Chemistry.

• The third one has Mathematics, Economics and Statistics.

• The forth one has English, Economics and Mathematics.

In the second and third year there are another two paths that students choose along with their previous decision, which are:

• The artistic path that includes: Art, Design, Theatre/Drama, Architecture.

• The foreign language path that includes: Russian, Spanish, French and English.

The school is going to take part in the project, because it is an opportunity for the development of our school, increasing young teachers’ motivation to work, raising their qualifications.

The school project is based on many purposes : taking care of all the students and their goals, especially for those with difficulties; give meaning to the training courses followed by each, according to their individual project; initiate a cultural journey throughout the school path.

The school needs to be more opened to the economic and cultural background, and the students need to increase their abilities in communication and sharing educational material. The coordinator for our school (Ms Schioser) has multiple experiences inleading European projects such as Leonardo, Comenius, ERASMUS+. Approximatly 25 wil be involved in the project, teaching History and Geography, CLIL, sciences, active citizenship. We are seeking for the possibility to open our school to European cultures, so we need to create individual contacts for our students but also group contacts between classes to share common educational activities. Our school, and its staff can contribute to the project because we are located in a semi-rural area, where the activities linked to wood are ancestral and still in progress; we have partnerships with organizations (ONF, Poissons de la Dombes, parc de la Dombes etc.) acting to preserve the natural resources such as the forests, the water, the fauna & flora. More than 1800 km² of forests, mostly oaks and softwood trees (firs, spruces). These mountain forests are the subject of an in-depth study of the forest resource, through the installation of a network of more than 700 permanent plots to monitor forest stands, forest renewal, forest management and biodiversity indices.

Year by year we organise field trips abroad for the best contestants of the Lóczy Lajos National Geography Competition where they can get to know the forests and trees of some more remote areas.The international experiences improve the learning motivation of the students and they can help them with the choice of careers, our teachers can receive opportunity for making contacts, and our school can also be seen on the map of the European learning network.The planned project is a continuance of a previous collaboration with the coordinator school in Poland, which program fits in the approving of our science education and our teachers can gain following experiences.The European cooperation projects improve the reputation of our school among our partners, serving the enrolment in our school.The English language based project is suitable for our bilingual course, in which we teach biology in English as well. In our institute there are science specification in four years of education, where six biology teachers instruct the students, two of them teach biology in English as well. We rely on their work in the planning and the accomplishment of the project. In our school we always carry out the Erasmus projects in teamwork, which is controlled by school leadership. In the case when one of the colleagues cannot complete the previous assumed duties, the leadership arrange the replacement and a new person is marked out for the task.

We are well resourced in terms of media technology.We also have a new Science/Physics Lab provided with working tables for students and a wide screen IWB. In compliance with the guidelines of the national Ministry of Education we are involved in implementing CLIL. The main objective of our school is to provide all the students with the best opportunities to show their talents and attitudes, to learn and achieve the goals they have set for themselves. We are a sustainable school, which means we are open to any occasion which could open up our students’ mind to ways to become active protagonists involved in changing our environment for the good of everybody. The staff team taking part in this project is made up of teachers with a long-standing experience in Erasmus+ and who have been teaching in our school for some years already: they are both language teachers and teachers of the Department of Science. The group will be supervised by our principal. If necessary, the people in charge of running the project will be easily replaced by other colleagues with relevant experience in Erasmus+ and specialisation in the thematic areas of the project.

We firmly feel that from our work we do we can deliver information to inform our partners. San Blas School is in the heart of a Natural Park and a biosphere reserve. This natural Mediterranean scenery, comprised of extensive pastures populated by holm and oak forests, has for centuries been the base of the area’s economy, due to the proper agricultural use of this space. We think that our natural landscape is an important part of our students and people living in the „sierra”, therefore it is important to analize our natural heritage and study other natural areas in Europe.Carmen Lería is our Erasmus + coordinator and she is incharge of the Erasmus + project leaded by Braunton Academy. María Dolores Talavera is our headmaster deputy and she is in charge of our students involved in Erasmus + leaded by the Diputación de Huelva. Francisco González is a Geography teacher with experience in Comenius, Grundtvig and Erasmus + and he is responsible for an exchange of students with Pilton Community College in Devon (UK). San Blas school paticipates since 2007 in Eco- schools programme, trying to produce sustainably minded students and environmentally conscious people, so we’re really experienced teaching enviromental issues. San Blas school is located in the heart of a Natural Park and the UNESCO biospheresite of “Las Dehesas de Sierra Morena”, so we will try that Natural Park Authorities get involved inthe project as well as some professors from Seville University and Aracena’s Town Hall staff.
