Erasmus+
Accreditation makes it easier to obtain funding for international mobility over the next three years.
This recognition is not only a confirmation of our work, but also a step forward in our vision to become the School of the Future. Through mobility activities, we can significantly enhance the quality of teaching and the overall educational process.
The accreditation will enable our teachers to travel abroad and gain new experiences and inspiration on how to implement educational innovations into their teaching. Pupils will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge at partner schools abroad, discover new countries and cultures, and learn more about themselves.
Stepping out of one's comfort zone is a life-changing experience that broadens the horizons of everyone involved in the programme.
Erasmus+ also opens the door for our school to engage in international cooperation with foreign schools and various educational institutions.
ERASMUS MOBILITY BELGIUM
At the end of January, we accepted a cordial invitation from our colleagues from Go! Antheneum Geraardsbergen. We participated in our first Erasmus program in Belgium, specifically in the small town of Geraardsbergen approximately an hour away from Brussels.
Our stay was unforgettable for the students, especially thanks to the combination of their open minds and high level of education.
Furthermore, the city of Geraardsbergen itself is a magical city, famous for its steep streets and legendary mattentaarten cakes.
The host families welcomed our children with great cordiality, which made them feel at home in Belgium.
In addition to new knowledge from the workshops, the students brought home precious friendships. Staying with host families allowed them to get to know the Belgian lifestyle first-hand and overcome language barriers in a natural way.
Creative activities, such as making T-shirts or sparkling bath bombs, relaxed the atmosphere and German lessons showed them that foreign languages can also be learned playfully.
A trip to Bruges, a visit to the VR Museum and the visit to the European Parliament in Brussels are all experiences they will remember for a long time.
We returned home full of inspiration and with a better overview of European culture.
TEAMWORK WAS REWARDED WITH FIRST PLACE
Members of Student Union took part in a teambuilding event called Together We Can Achieve More at the Team Up center in Bratislava.
In a friendly and motivating atmosphere, they competed and tackled time-limited challenges as a team. Our girls ranked first among all participating teams!
The activity was supported by the Youth Council of the Trnava Region as part of the Erasmus+ project Participation in School Parliaments: Quality and Sustainable Solutions.
We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in the workshop where our project was created — and funded.
We believe that this experience will help us improve the functioning of student union at out school in the upcoming school year.
Participation of School Parliaments: Quality and Sustainable Solutions
Together with members of the student union, Ella Dagmar K. and Leon ., we attended the introductory presentation meeting of the project organized by the Youth Council of the Trnava Region. The project, funded by Erasmus+, aims to support the development and quality of student parliaments. Our student union will have the opportunity to participate in training sessions, acquire new skills, create our own project, and present it at a conference.
