The main reason for applying was for us to meet the needs of our school community, the main of which are the following: It is important that the younger teachers in our school are able to apply new and innovative teaching methods, since they are highly specialized and skilled in terms of using new technology. The older teachers, who are less able to cope with new technology should be able to acquire adequate skills so that they gradually make use of it when teaching. To educate the staff on how to use educational software applicable to teaching as well as to students’ evaluation. To experience exchange of ideas and good practices with the colleagues from other participant countries as far as class management is concerned, thus enabling our students to benefit from the teaching process as much as possible. We aim for our staff to obtain a global view of the educational paradigm enhancing its European dimension at the same time.
