The majority of the parents have graduated from long educations and they ask questions to improve their children's education. They are supportive parents.
The faculty is a mix of many interests and teachers supply/support each other both in the job as a teacher, but also in social ways.
Hunderupskolen is a newer school in the city, but it has managed to build good traditions during the year which encourage the pupils to interact, help and understand each other across grades and age. Being part of this project will enable the pupils to expand their perception of what it means to be Danish but also to be a European citizen. Also the project will enable the pupils to see that we are all very different, but despite differenties, we have to help each other to overcome different problems and issues, and if we work together, we are able to embrace others and this is in several ways.
The school is the coordinating school and will be in charge of getting the project moving forward.
Hunderupskolen has participated in different international projects for many years. These are Comenius Projects, Nordplus Jr, exchange programs with schools in Beijing and a Danida project with a school in Kenya. The families in the school are familiar with international guests comning to the school and they host international pupils in their homes often. The school has an international coordinator who will have the greater view of the project, activities, etc. The coordinator works closely with a team, which consists of members from management and 3 teachers from the school. All members of this team are well aware of how to work in Mobility Tool and well known with the activities in the project. All are memers of the big group chat and participate in online meetings. Hunderupskolen has focus on 17 Global Goals and is able to contribute with interesting and relevant activities for the pupils in this area.
