COMENIUS 2011-2013

As you know, our school has started an international project together with other schools in different European countries. English will be the language of communication among participating schools and all activities in the project will be developed in English, so this is a great opportunity for you to improve your oral and written skills! You will also have the chance of getting to know different cultures and countries and making new friends…I hope you make the most of it and enjoy the experience!

Here is a brief description of the project:

COMIC (Creativity Oriented Motivating International Communication) is a multilateral Comenius project developed by six partner schools from different European countries: Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Denmark, Poland and Spain. Our main aim is to raise awareness among students and teachers of European cultural and linguistic diversity in a creative and dynamic manner.

Our project has been organized according to three main topics: Arts, Sciences and Sports. The project activities will focus on these educational fields. Practical and manual work will be enhanced in all activities and they will be oriented towards the professional world. The outcomes of the students' work will be posted on different blogs, which will have free access from the websites of each partner school. ICT will be used in all activities.
