Our organization is a public highschool . We have students from 12 to 18. The first 3 years students are in the highschool and then for 3 more years in lyceum. So our school is divided in two parts. In our school there are about 150 students and 35 professors. We normally use the formal educational system especially to older students in order to prepare them for national exams. For the younger (12- 15) we use sometimes non formal methods. We are doing e-twinning, environmental and Erasmus projects. In our school we love music and theatre so at the end of the year there is always such an event. We have students from different ethnic groups and different nationalities.
Motivation: Our school has tradition in taking part in traditional folklore festivals from theatrical plays to dances. And it is very important for us (teachers) to keep the bones between the new and the old very tight. We believe that if we want progress and development we will only catch this goal through the traditions. Traditions represent a critical piece of our culture. They help form the structure and foundation of our society. Tradition and culture reinforces values such as freedom, faith, integrity, a good education, personal responsibility, a strong work ethic, and the value of being selfless and lead to students inclusion and mutual acceptance.
We have been involved in four Erasmus+ projects as partner and as coordinator. We have planned activities, mobilities (of students and staff to other countries and as a host country too).The Headteacher and pedagogical team support all projects and help in all circumstances as well as evaluating the progress of the project; The Parents Association are up-to-date with the progress of the projects and participate in it (for example helping with accommodation in host families; Participating in some activities, helping in dissemination)
In what concerns the skills/experience of the key persons involved in this project we can refer that the teachers involved are experts in knowledge areas related to this project (Foreign languages, Portuguese, ICT, Literature, Dance, Music, Arts)
