The teachers at Swedish schools are not afraid to use innovative teachings methods and there are a lot of ICT use in the teaching. Compared to other parts of Europe the teaching is more student oriented and effort is put on student-responsibility.

When you are progressive and innovative, there is also a risk that you perhaps go to far in this! Therefore we welcome European teachers to shadow us with fresh eyes to help us to evaluate our methods.
