Brighton Metropolitan college works with a wide range of international partners and offers courses on business English, culture, exam preparation along with access courses for international students such as International Foundation in Art and Design. We have worked with students and academics from all over the world. 

The international team has experience in designing bespoke shadowing and learning experience for teachers and students coming from partner colleges. The MET has recently developed a successful Art and Design foundation course which gives international students the opportunity to study Art and Design combining blended learning remotely and in the UK. During the course students will benefit from an embedded English for academic purposes programme along with their core curriculum classes in art and design. The staff and support staff at Metropolitan are well versed and skilled in offering students support and catering to the needs of teachers and students in an ever changing environment 

Kauriala upper secondary school is a lively, active, and modern upper secondary school that has a special emphasis on mathematics and natural sciences, internationality, and culture. Internationality, sustainable development, and involvement of students are our key emphasis. 

Kauriala secondary school is located in Hämeenlinna, 100 km north of Helsinki, with about 600 students, aged 15/19, and 30 teachers + five members of other staff. Kauriala High School is a part of Tavastia Education Consortium, which includes e.g. four upper secondary schools, Tavastia Vocational school and Vanajavesi community college (VOP).  Internationalisation is one of the main things of Kaurialan lukio. We have a long history of international projects both Erasmus and also international projects funded by Finnish National Board of Institution. Not only the language teachers but also teachers of other subjects have been involved in those projects. We have had partners from Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Czech Republic, Spain, China, Canada and Tanzania, the most recent to be named.  Kaurialan lukio is very focused on Science, Maths and Arts. 

We are one of the 16 upper secondary schools in Finland who has a special programme for Science. We recently had a project called STEAMing Experiences, where Science and Arts are tested in VR. This project is funded by Finnish National Board of Institution. Teachers at Kaurialan lukio are very interested in taking part in this project to use their specialization in Art 3D modeling connected with VR and Science VR. The special programme for Science and our project STEAMing Experiences provides useful information for this strategic partnership.  

The co-ordinator of the project is Upper secondary school Futurum, pedagogical school which focuses on the education of new teachers. The education itself is big topic at the school and its future is key to students' success in later life when they transform from student to teacher after graduation. 

The key people are in day-to-day contact with students and they have many years of experience with delivering quality education to the students. The school is holding technological equipment in order to make VR classroom project happen and part of its staff have undergone pilot testing of VR classrooms including training. The school will be responsible for training the other partner schools and set the agenda for each meeting.

Futurum Secondary Pedagogical School was founded in 1991.

The main task of the owner, Tomáš Jízdný,  is to help maintain the quality and tradition of the school and at the same time come up with new innovations so that the Futurum school can keep up with the rapidly changing times and be able to prepare its students in the best possible way for their lives.

Pupils are involved in project-based teaching and planning. They are thus prepared to pass on innovative and alternative methods and approaches to future generations in the education of children and adults through all levels of education that they will experience as part of teaching. Futurum prepares students for their future internships and university studies with regard to the search for individual talents and career counseling. This path helps pupils to find their own direction in which they get the support of the school. 

The common goal is to build an environment that connects individual areas and projects into meaningful cooperation and dialogue about future development.
