The development of the European dimension of education is part of the school strategy and will help them acquire the 21st century skills. By taking part in projects we believe our teachers will improve the quality of education at our school, increased the motivation of our students. Teachers and students enriched their understanding of European citizenship, practiced foreign languages and developed a better understanding of the cultures of the participating countries. We are fully aware of the importance of the European Union (EU) 2020 Strategy in what concerns education goals and the 21st Century skills so our project is in line with both national and EU level educational policies in terms of fighting and preventing early school leaving.
