European Dimension

As far as European Internalisation concern we give emphasis on the European dimension of education, on the creation of an open European culture, on the way of thinking and operation as well as on the implementation of innovative projects. Our school has participated in Erasmus+ – KA1 Staff Mobility, on issues related to Current Issues in education-Early school leaving (2015-1-EL01-KA101-013359).There is also no coincidence that the school is one of secondary schools of the prefecture involved in teachers4europe action and European School Ambassadors, which for the first time this year was implemented. Last but not least, this year our school has participated in European Maker week with Talks and workshops on how to innovative and explore imagination. The Headmaster of 2nd Vocational school and our teachers taking into consideration our school’s needs (improvement in school records, avoidance leaving school, encouraging participation of all learners, enhancing continuing professional development and improving intercultural understanding) consider that taking part in European programms would make a difference because it will explore diversity in Europe and integrate various cultures through innovative educational materials and it will also improve European internationalisation strategies in the field of VET and make them more sustainable, thus enhancing the quality and quantity of transnational VET mobility.
