The community of our school wanted to develop the competences of digital and distance learning, outdoor education skills as well as improving teaching of foreign languages. To improve one’s professional skills, the European institutions in Italy, Spain and France have been chosen that have had successful international experience in teacher training. Better ICT and distance learning skills, high quality of outdoor education, teaching of foreign languages were the main goals of our organisation.
Šiauliai "Sandoros" progymnasium is an organization which develops on a regular basis as well as conforming to the EU and State strategies for education which is to provide an innovative and effective teaching. Teachers and school staff play a leading role in this process. This was the reason for the applying for this project. The school life and education have had a lot of challenges last years. Due to COVID-19, distance learning and ICT skills have became significantly more important. Foreign language teaching and outdoor education are very important too. Therefore, our school community sent 5 teachers to the courses abroad (to Spain, France and Italy) to develop these skills and improve professional and cultural awareness.
