Who we are... - information about the participating schools
The “lycée général et technologique de la Plaine de l’Ain”
is a very big secondary school (state education) in Ambérieu-en-Bugey. The school is located in a semi rural area, but not far from Lyon, the 2nd largest city in France (approximately 50 km). The scope of the school is regional. It welcomes teenagers from all the villages of Bugey, the Jura mountains, but also not far from the Alps. The school is the unique secondary school in the area with approx. 1.800 students. There is a great diversity in the educational streams such as sciences and technology, literature, humanities, foreign languages, biotechnology, sustainable development, economics, etc. More than 170 teachers and 40 other staff members work in our lycée.
Our school is aware of inclusive policies: that’s why we welcome students with special needs (autism; partially sighted persons, disabled persons). To improve the chances of our students to be capable to communicate more easily, 25% of the younger ones (15 years old) are following Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classes.
For all the school community, for the inhabitants of the nearby villages and of the main town, meeting with other European students and teachers are a great opportunity.
The “Jakob Fugger” secondary school
is a modern school with a long tradition, located in the city centre of Augsburg. The history of the school began in 1879 with the foundation of the “Höhere Handelsschule”. It became the present “Jakob-Fugger-Gymnasium” in 1965 to honour the old families of the city of Augsburg and to point out the focus on economic education. Later, a Science and Technology branch was established. At present about 820 students are taught by about 75 colleagues. With qualified teaching methods, various offers of individual support and a wide range of electives the school provides a solid education which meets individual learning requirements and different inclinations and interests. Jakob-Fugger’s impact is still multi-present in Augsburg. By joining this project we will improve the interdisciplinary cooperation between teachers and create a European network to exchange pedagogies. The project will try to be inclusive in order to involve pupils with learning difficulties and those who have never been abroad before due to social disadvantages. Above that the aim of the JFGs project work is to train pupils to become open-minded when being confronted to the diversity and to other cultures in Europe.
Primary and middle school Moskovská 2
in Banská Bystrica provides pupils with general primary and lower secondary education. There are 576 pupils and 71 staff members. The school has recently started to implement innovations and changes focusing the attention on the key competences for future studies, work and life. The school curriculum is changing from content focus to pupils’ skills, moving from memorising to developing presentation skills, supporting intersubject relations through connecting areas. Regarding the effort to facilitate skills to cooperate, communicate in foreign languages, think critically and to solve problems the teachers are searching for opportunities to involve pupils in projects on an international level. As for the teachers, introducing new approaches to teamwork, interdisciplinary cooperation, the possibility of the exchange of good practices through opening the school for cooperation with European schools, new opportunities for their professional growth will open.
