Galilei-Gymnasium
D – 59065 Hamm
DE – GERMANY

Our school is a "Gymnasium" which leads to the "Abitur", which means that the students are allowed to study at an university.
Our student’s age is from 10 to 18 years. We have no special focus.
From the beginning our students learn English. In the second year at an age of eleven they can choose between Latin and French. During the last three years they can choose a language   or a science focus. In case they choose a language focus they study Italian language in general.

Our secondary school is characterized by a high percentage of migrants who grow up with a diverse cultural background. Many families are not able to provide a great variety of cultural activities at home and abroad. Therefore the students live in a modern multicultural world, but unfortunately have few opportunities to reflect upon this diversity and to research cultural traditions. The school tries to include different aspects of culture and geography into its everyday life at various occasions. A special course is taught on the subject of European geography, history and cultural and political unity. The focus is on aspects which unite rather than distinguish.
Since it is more common for our students to focus on differences in their daily life it is our intention to use this project as an opportunity to illustrate similarities of various European countries concerning science, economy, technology and cultural traditions.
The Comenius project offers a unique chance for many (financially disadvantaged) pupils to encounter traditions which are new to them and to broaden their understanding of rituals, traditions and cultural heritage in Germany and in Europe.

OLYMPION GYMNASIUM - LYCEUM
Palliometocho
CY – CYPRUS

Situated in the outskirts of the capital city, our school is in a non-disadvantaged area. However, as far as the catch up area is concerned, it is worth mentioning that our pupils come from a social background which includes families of various economic status. Through this partnership, our pupils are expected to work together as well as with other pupils from the participating countries something which will increase awareness and tolerance and lead to the European citizenship.
Moreover, working through a foreign language will enable them to master the language better and, at the same time, learn how to work on a project and solve arising problems something which will enhance their learning skills more.
Lastly, the contact with other people with various cultures and tradition, will benefit not only our pupils but our school and local partners as well.

 

9o Gymnasium Heraklion Crete
Heraklion, Crete
EL – GREECE

Our school is a Junior High School located in Heraklion, at the north east of Crete. The school embraces a part of the city which is considered underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure and regional advancement. An attempt to support the unprivileged students is undertaken through fund raising actions throughout the year. In addition, there are young learners who hold an immigrant background while others display learning difficulties. For this reason we operate induction as well as learning disability courses to support students who experience difficulty in the learning process. The aforementioned teenagers undoubtedly have very few opportunities to travel abroad and exceed the limits of their community. Their involvement with the program will help them broaden their perspectives and develop their skills and talents.
With regard to school facilities there is a chemistry laboratory, a library and two specially equipped computer rooms. Extracurricular activities are encouraged. Some of them involve an Environmental Club, a school newspaper, a Film club as well as participating in the English Language Festival. Despite its small size our school does not lack the inspiration and the enthusiasm to be engaged in stimulating new projects.

The use of ICT in our school is at a high level, we have an Informatics and Information technologies team of students, who takes part in national competitions and Olympiads and wins prizes. A large number of our graduates continue their education in prestigious universities in the country and abroad.

Students are of varied social and financial status, some of them are at the lowest economic level in society. The number of the ones coming from broken and step families is increasing every year. There are students with specific educational needs, who are at risk of social exclusion, due to some health problem- mental or physical. We also have migrant students from Turkey, Russia, and Scotland.

Lycée Geneviève de Gaulle Anthonioz

Our school is situated in the suburbs of Nîmes (6km from the town center). Nîmes as you may know has a lot of Roman monuments in particular an amphitheatre which is a tourist attraction. It is about 40 km from the sea and about 50 from the mountains. Most of our students come from the Camargue area, which is also quite nice. Plenty to do and see around here anyway.

The school itself is about 12 years old. It has about 1600 pupils and 135 teaching staff. We teach kids from 15 to 18 till they sit the final exam, the baccalaureat. We also have 3 years of further education. It offers boarding facilities for the students.

The students are usually nice. Most of them don't come from a wealthy background but they are interested and pleasant. And the teachers are nice too, of course!

Zespół Szkół w Iwoniczu
Iwonicz Zdrój
PL – POLAND

Zespół Szkół w Iwoniczu is a secondary school located in the south - east of Poland, in a beautiful, industrially unspoiled countryside. It is the school with over 100 years' traditions and since 1998 it's placed in modern, spacious buildings with plenty of green gardens around. The school provides its students with fully - equipped sports facilities as well as the boarding school. The students are educated within three types of courses: Lyceum (ending with state secondary school exam), Vocational School and Technical Secondary School. The last one consists of 6 specializations, e.g. landscape architecture, agricultural mechanization, economics or food production and customer service (with the faculty of enotourism - the branch of tourism connected with growing vineyards and the production of wine). Students of our school mostly come from families of low and very low economic status, usually from the villages located within 30 km from Iwonicz. Many of them are from numerous families that live from farming. Sometimes one of the parents lives abroad to earn the living. In the school there is also a group of students with special needs. They are given both psychological and educational help (extracurricular activities). Despite social and economic problems of the students, the school achieves great results in sports and technical competitions. As a result, many students get scholarships that enable them develop their skills.

The participation in international project would be a great chance for many talented, but poor students to meet new cultures and broaden their knowledge. They could learn how to co-operate with others, especially in a foreign language and with the use of modern technologies. Such partnership would prove them that what matters is knowledge, not the social and economic background.

 

Liceo linguistico Sophie Scholl
Trento
Italy

Liceo linguistico Sophie Scholl is a high school for students aged 14-19. We have a comprehensive curriculum but our main focus is the learning of foreign languages and cultures.

Our 940 pupils study three languages: English, German plus a language chosen among Russian, Spanish, French and Chinese. Furthermore, some subjects are taught in English and German.

Students come of different social backgrounds and many live in the valleys around the city.

The school is at walking distance to the town centre. Our town, Trento, (110,000 inhabitants) is set in a valley  surrounded by mountains and close to many lakes. In the last 20 years the town has experienced a rise in immigration, which can be observed in our school's composition, with 8 % of students coming of migrant families, a percentage which is likely to  increase in the next years.
 
The school is a lively learning community which values every culture and language and whose aim is to foster knowledge and mutual understanding. Our many CLIL experiences are aimed not only at developing language competence, but also at tackling school subjects in different perspectives, thus increasing awareness of a European dimension to teaching and learning.

We  want to offer our students the opportunity to work with European partners in meaningful ways, dealing with issues that we all have to consider in our modern, challenging and also interesting times.
 
By building a network of European schools working together on a common project, we will be able to enhance our students' knowledge of global issues while developing respect for other cultures and languages together with a greater awareness of their own cultural identity.

Finally, we will also pave the way,  among other things, for individual mobility, which is in our opinion a great opportunity for both teachers and students, allowing them to fully experience life and culture in another country.

Athénée Royal de Ganshoren
Brussel
Belgium

Athénée Royal de Ganshoren is a multicultural school in Brussels Capital Region. Ganshoren is one of the 19 communes of the capital. The students are from +/- 35 different origins. There are about 900 students in the secondary school and 500 in the pre-primary and primary school. They are 12 up to 18 years old. Almost all the students live in Brussels. It's a mix of Belgian students, migrants from the third or fourth generation and newly arrived ones from all over Europe and Africa. French is not the first language for most of the students. To keep the students on track, the school organises homework help and a large remediation programme. A part of the students have to face discrimination and social exclusion (origins, religion, employment...).

Brussels is facing an important increase in its population which is the youngest in Belgium but which also has the highest level of unemployment (20%).

The participation in the Comenius project is important for the students because it will show them that they are Europeans or NEW Europeans and that they all together create the "European identity"
