KA229 Project- School Exchange Partnerships

The decision to initiate this project originates in the problems and impacts resulting of the socioeconomic and (un)employment crisis for students and younger adults affecting European countries in different ways.

The four participating schools are:

• Colegio Divina Pastora, Spain (the coordinating school).

• Staicele Primary School, Latvia.

• Colegiul Național 'Costache Negruzzi', Romania.

• Uulu Primary School, Estonia.

Three participating schools are located in rural regions, and one of them in an urban area; so they have different characteristics and conditions, but they face similar problems: loss of (old) industries and inhabitants, the lack, more or less, of new ones like services or production, the necessity to develop new labour fields.

By showing how every school prepares its students for their specific labour market the other partners will learn to improve their own methods.

With the project, we will install closer partnerships between schools and enterprises.
