Thessaloniki

16.10.2022. We have worked here on site within the framework of a strategic school partnership with five European partner schools on selected issues regarding the basic principles of the project schools in the sense of a democratic school as well as the rights, duties and tasks of those involved in school life. As a final project result, a common constitutional order of a "school with a democratic school culture" was created.
We had a wonderful time in Thessaloniki and visited friends from Madeira (Portugal), Torbali (Turkey) and Viterbo (Italy)!
Now we are about to create a small magazine and the final report before we will start more projects! 🙂

Bremerhaven

08.03.2022. Between February 21 and 25, 2022 we hosted the third mobility of the joint project "Building a Democratic School Culture" in the framework of a strategic school partnership.
We welcomed friends from Thessaloniki (Greece), Funchal (Portugal), Viterbo (Italy) and Torbali (Turkey) (two teachers and two students per partner).
At the beginning of the joint working week, there were impulse presentations from the individual project countries regarding the basic principles and administrative structures of the project schools as well as the rights, duties and tasks of those involved in school life.
This was followed by group work in which the students, teachers, school administrators and parents dealt with selected tasks. Among others, the following topics were worked on:

  • "What should be the duties and responsibilities of teachers in a democratic school?"
  • "What should school leadership be like in a democratic school?"
  • "What should be the duties and responsibilities of a student in a democratic school?"
  • "What should be the duties and responsibilities of parents in a democratic school?"
  • "What duties and responsibilities should school administrators have in a democratic school?"

After the results of each group were presented, we summarized the defined duties and responsibilities in a statement.

It was a wonderful time and we are really looking forward to visiting our Italian friends in Viterbo in May! 🙂
