In daily practice, this means that our students are really part owners of their own learning process, but always under the supervision of the teacher. Teachers are also counselors for pupils.

We see the exchange of pupils as a very important aspect to realize our goals. Children who participate in the exchange will be well prepared and share their experiences with their fellow students.

Within our school, we have a student council that is investigating solutions to think and act sustainable. Older pupils are represented in the student council. They consult in their classes. In 2020, we started separating plastic and paper and residual waste. Lately we asked for a grant at the municipality, to experiment with worm hotels to obtain our own compost. The student council regular discuss also these matters.

In the meantime, the student council has already purchased a plastic container to separate the plastic waste.

The Steinheid primary school is a two-stream primary school on the crest of the Thuringian Forest. As a partly bound all-day elementary school with a fully rhythmic school day, we have created child-friendly structures for optimal learning success. The basic educational goals of our institution are anchored in our school concept “Elementary school Steinheid – a primary school where you feel comfortable in the green heart of Europe”. A solid basic education and the upbringing of young people who are open-minded, honest and willing to learn are the focal points of our concept. As an European school, we pay particular attention to the idea of ​​Europe growing together and education for sustainable development on an international scale. Our lovingly designed school building and our spacious school grounds with schoolyard, playground, school garden and school forest offer ideal external conditions for joyful, natural and effective learning. Elementary school lives through the community, lives in and with a region. That is why working with parents and grandparents, with the communities and with local clubs is particularly important to us.

The 10th Primary School of Palaio Faliro is a school with a multipurpose educational staff of all specialties. It is located in the center of the area and is one of the largest schools in population as well as there are 12 classes with 25 or 26 students per class. The students are mainly of Greek origin, there are many  pupils who are the children of immigrants, mainly from Balkan countries. Our school is stepping up to the standards of sustainable education, every year it takes part in a variety of innovative actions carrying out environmental, cultural & health education programs that bring them into contact with students with sustainability issues and practices and tries to be open to adopting innovative practices that will improve the work of our teachers. The teachers are often interested and involved with their own initiative in training days, seminars or other educational programs. Since 2015 the school is registered in the Electronic Twinning platform (eTwinning) and is in close cooperation with countries of the European Union (Romania, Poland, Spain, Italy, France) and Turkey carrying out innovative programs every year.

We are a grouping of schools with a diversified educational offer that includes: Pre-School Education, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Cycles of Basic Education covering the age group from 3 to 15 years old. The grouping has seven schools, with around 830 of the 1590 students and children at the main school. The Group’s territorial growth was always accompanied by positive organizational transformations that promoted the improvement of the quality of learning and the development of citizenship and solidarity attitudes of the students. Three pillar moments of this change stand out. In 2009, the educational community was defined as an Educational Territory of Priority Intervention (TEIP), a strategic decision that successfully responded to the challenges posed by the socio-educational reality in which it is limited.

Our educational project prioritizes social and democratic inclusion, in a holistic approach in which there are formal moments for all students to participate: assembly of class delegates and student advisory council. Everything is only possible thanks to collaboration between teachers, technicians, students, their families and various partners, prioritizing well-being in different aspects. Our big on an intercultural approach to knowledge and learning, enriching itself through the reception, integration and educational success of children and young people of all nationalities, as well as respect for differences and the establishment of positive relationships of interaction and approximation between students and other members of the educational community from different cultures.

The AEFS intends to establish itself as an educational organization of reference, as a focus for the development of citizenship and interculturality for and with the educational community. In the development of citizenship, the work carried out in the context of environmental education stands out as one of the guiding vectors of the Group, to promote the formation of children and young people, making them more responsible for the preservation of the environment and the Planet. In order to achieve this, the Group provides two pedagogical gardens, at the Dr. Francisco Sanches School and at the Kindergarten at Quinta das Fontes, develops the “Ciência Viva” Project and promotes activities promoted by the “Eco-Schools” program. All activities aim at intercultural integration (the school has students from 47 different nationalities) and encouraging the integrated development of the concepts of citizenship and environmental sustainability associated with intergenerational responsibility.

The project will be coordinated by the sub director, Arlindo Areias and the Erasmus+ Coordinator, Professor Hermínia Alonso. In their absence, the headmaster will nominate another person with expertise in the area to replace them.

Although the school has been in the Eco-Schools programme for 2 years, the sub-director has a long experience in managing projects of environmental sustainability to which he has been linked for 10 years.

Although the school grouping is still in the accreditation phase, which could make our participation difficult, as we do not have a budget approved by the Erasmus+ programme, we intend to turn the exchange of experiences in the areas of environmental education into a motor for intercultural approximation, inclusion and the fight against xenophobia, under the cover of the protection of the Planet – a subject that is common to all and that unites us all.

Taking into account our conditions, we are available to participate with the other partners in the project presented. Our families have also shown interest in collaborating in this exchange, although the possibility of travel is not guaranteed due to lack of funding.  As our school is multicultural and has ethnic minorities, we are also available for jobshadowing about inclusion.

In the next year, a mobile school will be in operation. We operate by grade level in four groups, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd-4th grade and 5th-6th grade. Taking into account the corona situation, the activities include the student council, välkäri activities and sponsor activities. We will also meet the school grandmother, Mrs. Vuolteenaho, when it is safe. We are supported by an active parent group.

This school year, the multidisciplinary learning units are internationality and emotional skills.

During the school day, we have a half-hour break during lunch. In this way, we get a longer working session in the middle of the day, where we have time to do, for example, different projects according to the recommendations of the curriculum.

We are happy to get some European teachers and pupils into our school and get to known their school system etc.

Welcome to Agkistri Island! Our primary school is located in the centre of Megalochori, the main village of the island! It is a new building with a great sea view and in front of it there is a big school yard, where pupils play, rest and eat during the breaks! There are only a few pupils in our school, 26 in total, and 4 main teachers. The school is organized in 3 classes: 1st & 2nd grade, 3rd & 4th grade and 5th & 6th grade. Most of our days are sunny and when school time is over you can watch our students play in the narrow streets of the island during the evening!

Living in a country and an island surrounded by the sea, there is a major need of educating our students towards more eco-friendly and sustainable behavior and lifestyle. This has become our main motivation in joining this project.

Our key people in charge running the project in our school are Elli and Kyriaki (Kiki). Elli’s position is permanent in our school.

The Elementary School of Vatheos, Aegina, is a small government-funded public school, situated in the north part of the island of Aegina, GREECE. It is located on a hill overlooking the Saronic Gulf, and it is surrounded by pistachio plants, tall pine trees and beautiful orchards. The school is known for being a close-knit educational community, dedicated to providing a supportive learning environment to every student.

In this school, every student has a voice, and they are heard. Each pupil is given an initiative and responsibilities so they can feel as though the school is their second home. This includes: sweeping their classrooms at the end of the school day, keeping the school yard clean, recycling, and looking after the school cat, a stray little ginger cat that was found hungry in the school yard and the students decided to adopt and take care of it. The students’ learning takes place in and out of the classrooms. They take frequent visits to museums, theaters, parks, orchards, beaches, animal shelters and more. They also take part in events, as a way to expand their knowledge, express their thoughts or see some of the real problems that exist in society and figure out how they can help. The students participate in school plays, local and national celebrations and school projects. They are constantly taught to take care of each other, respect everyone’s difference and live together in harmony.

There are 52 pupils enrolled in the school, from 1^st to 6^th grade. Together with the principal of the school, Mrs. Lilly Vogiatzi, the faculty stuff is made up of 13 teachers: 5 classroom teachers, 5 subject  teachers for English, physical education, music, art and drama, 3 teaching assistants specialized in special education and one school nurse. The IT teacher is expected to start working in the school, hopefully in October.

What is helpful for the implementation of good inclusive education practices, is the hiring of the 3 teaching assistants (Paralliles, as they are called in Greek). These teaching assistants stay in the classroom, collaborate with the general education teacher, and together they support the learning of the pupils who are diagnosed with a learning disability and those who struggle academically. The constant presence of the teaching assistants in the classroom is vital because no student is held aside in order to receive help. The classrooms are equipped with the required technology (whiteboards, projectors, internet, etc.) so that the teachers can prepare and deliver an enriched lesson, one that can meet the needs and learning style of each and every one of their students. Needless to say that the knowledge and expertise of the teaching assistants, will contribute to the completion of the Erasmus project on inclusion.

It is actually this vision of the school that has always been the motivation for joining the Erasmus project on inclusion. This project stands as an opportunity to open the school up to the world, help the teachers develop professionally, interact and exchange ideas with colleagues abroad, reflect, improve their teaching skills, try new teaching practices and learn from experience. What is more, hosting students from the partner schools in the Spring of 2023, will give our students and teachers the chance to meet, share school experiences and bond. With this project, our small community will become part of a larger one.

The key people of running this project are the principal, Mrs. Lilly Vogiatzi, and the classroom teachers who have a permanent post in this school, and share the same vision.  The new English teacher has been given a permanent post in the school and she will contribute significantly to the execution of this project. Luckily, most of the teachers hired permanently in the school this year, have a master’s degree in special education and other relevant fields. Therefore, they are familiar with the broad definition of inclusion and the benefits of inclusive education.

In the future, we hope we can participate in a pupil’s exchange program and send some of our students to partner schools, so they can have the experience of staying abroad with a host family and attending classes in a different education system. How wonderful would that be for our young learners!

Management Structure of the Institution

The Archbishop’s Seminary School is a boys’ School owned by the Archdiocese of Malta and is a Catholic Church school. The Rector and the Headmaster are generally priests appointed by the archdiocese. The Rector is responsible for the running of the Seminary which also includes a residential program for priests in training.

Over the past year and a half the school has also become heavily involved in European Union Erasmus+ projects. These projects are coordinated by Ms Elaine Gerada Gatt and Mr Pierre Bellia.

Parents are also active in the Parents’ Teachers Association and are thus indirectly involved in various important elements in the school.

The institution’s leadership style

The school’s management is largely collaborative in style but has ultimately the final say in the decision-taking process. The school’s needs and their prioritisation are always identified through a wide consultation with all involved. Following discussion and consultation, the Senior Leadership Team decides the way forward. For policy and financial aspects the Seminary’s Management Board are generally requested to approve.

The school prides itself on a strong self-reflection process, in which processes are analysed and evaluated to always come with the way forward.
