The training courses or activitieswere meant to help create a school identity in which its students were active citizens in the european dimension, promoting innovative ways of collaborative work. This project also intended to promote the enrichment and updating in the Sciences field, preferably interdisciplinary and when possible using apps and Information and Communication Technologies. Our schoool had as goals: 1 – to implement international projects that would raise an intercutural and european conscience; 2 - to improve our teachers skills in order to meet the individual requirements of our students blending in their social, cultural and language differences and diversity; 3 – to develop our teachers skills in STEM teaching in order to improve the learning; 4 – to increase collaborative experimental activities between the three levels of primary and secondary students in our school (1st, 2nd and 3rd levels); 5 – to implement new classroom management methodologies in the classes working with curricular flexibility and to promote the exchange of innovative practices of collaborative work in order to enable better interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
As our school had little international experience, there was the need to write a project and its internationalisation strategy along with an European Development Plan that suited our own reality necessities and objectives. The need to train in european mobilities was realted with the advantages of contacting with the culture of other european countries and with other languages speakers. Therefore, with this internationalization we intended to motivate our students to participate in Erasmus Projects. There was a priority to train collaborative work and curricular interaction related with the portuguese project of Autonomy and Curricular Flexibility, so that our teachers could improve their teaching skills, implementing new methodologies focusing on facilitate the learning of our students.
