Background

The project followed up on our previous activities in the field of international cooperation within the Erasmus+ programme. In order to improve the quality of education we provide to our pupils and students, we see it as crucial to continuously educate both the teaching and service team, bringing new impulses and space for personal and professional development not only to classes and projects, but also to the entire life of the school. In this project, we also responded to the fact that the team is expanding and we created opportunities for team members who have not yet completed a mobility abroad to do so. We chose the topic of key competences because it is a key area that we are trying to develop in the school - we focus on the development of soft skills during all the activities that take place in the school.
