LOOP platform for mentors

As part of the EU-funded LOOP project (project number: 2020-1-PT01-KA201-078764), a highly topical article on the topic of "Digital offerings in teacher traineeships and in mentor:in-service training" (see button after this article text) has been produced, in which the author Dr. Angela Hoffmann summarizes and discusses research findings on the value of digital offerings in teacher traineeships and in-service training for teachers against the backdrop of the increasing shortage of teachers.

It becomes clear that motivated teachers show a high level of interest in becoming involved in digital mentoring programs. However, many colleagues express concerns that their English language skills are not sufficient for valuable collaboration with teachers from other European countries.

In addition, we offer presentations or discussions that make the digital offerings developed in the project accessible to trainees and teachers (e.g., https://matchthementor.com) and provide space for joint reflection and evaluation. Please contact us if you are interested by mail to loop@cvo-gyo.de!

Visit from Estonia

01.10.2022. From September 26 to 30, 2022, we had four Estonian colleagues from Viimsi-Gümnaasium visit us for a job shadowing. In addition to a professional exchange regarding the teaching content of certain subjects, we also worked diligently on common topics such as entrepreneurship education. Our Estonian friends also took over a geography lesson and gave Q1 students an understanding of the geography of Estonia. Our student representative Aylin Bicer was able to present the very valuable work of our SV. We are already looking forward to our return visit to Estonia! 🙂

Anti-Semitism event at EP Bremen

09.09.2022. Europa Punkt Bremen and the association "Medien Bildung Demokrati"e are holding a series of events entitled "European Remembrance Culture and Anti-Semitism - What we can learn from the past for the future! Malin Ehler, Christoph Gebauer and Aylin Bicer (Q2) sat on the panel together with Daniel Uschpol and Alexandra Nozik, who reported on Jewish life today.
First, the event was introduced by a welcome from the State Councilor Mr. Stührenberg, followed by a welcome from the moderator Nadja Zimmermann. Afterwards Daniel Uschpol and Alexandra Nozik reported about Jewish life today. Afterwards Dr. Juliane Wetzel gave information about the forms of anti-Semitism.
After this input there was an open discussion round between Daniel Uschpol, Alexandra Nozik and our three pupils: inside, they could bring questions and suggestions into the discussion.
Tanja Behrmann, head of the European Department Bremen, closed the event with some words about the topic.
Some of our courses followed the event online, very soon it will be available in retrospect on YouTube. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O8qRgt7HSg&t=2243s.
