Welcome to our school!
   

A key aspect of Comenius Assistantships  is that they introduce or build on a European dimension in the host school and community.

Assistants:

==> raise pupils’ awareness of another European culture

==> help break down prejudices

==> increase students’ speaking and listening skills

==> help build up students’ linguistic self-confidence

==> provide tangible evidence to pupils of the benefits and potential of the European Union

==> inspire them to seek further information on how they too ==> can participate in such programmes. 

Each year up to 1 500 future teachers participate in the Comenius Assistantships. They spend between 3 to 10 months in a school in another European country, assist with classroom teaching, support school projects and often teach their native language. It gives them the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of other European countries and education systems and to improve their teaching skills. The action supports language teaching in the host schools, improves the language skills of pupils working with the Comenius assistant in any subject and increases both their motivation to learn languages and their interest in the assistant’s country and culture.
