The promotion of mobility among our teaching staff and their participation in training programs offered by cooperating European organizations will contribute significantly to the formation of a European-oriented school environment, which will allow our school to respond successfully to the challenged of globalization and the incorporation of diversity.

It will also encourage the participation of our students in exchange programs with partners abroad, which our school aims to implement systematically within the framework of educational programs.
The primary target of the Experimental Junior High School of the University of Macedonia is to expand and consolidate our activities within the framework of European mobility. Specifically, we aim to consolidate and broaden our European and international cooperation projects and mobilities through: i) our active participation in educational networks/organizations (e.g. UNICEF, UNESCO), ii) the eagerness of our teachers and students to cooperate and contribute to European projects (e.g. Erasmus+, Teachers 4 Europe, twinning agreements, international conferences, partnerships), and iii) online training seminars we could organize for the benefit of local or international colleagues. Actions like the ones mentioned above will enhance the European profile of our school, get all the members of our school community involved in innovative educational activities and practices, facilitate diversity awareness and incorporation, allow teachers and students alike to develop a wide range of skills a
