Parents letter
- 1. Dear Parents, We are really pleased to communicate that with the start of the new school year, our school has joined a ERASMUS + program funded by the European Union. The project name is S/HE IS EQUAL IN EUROPE and it involves 10 schools from 10 different European countries (Bulgaria, Finland, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey) working in similar activities. The main objective of the project is to promote equality and inclusion at school. We want to develop the idea of gender equality among students in all the countries, and to raise their respect, understanding and commitment with women rights. The aim of the project is also to extend the idea of equality among all social groups that could be unfairly treated. We hope to create a new European community which strives together and which has a common vision of a better and fair world. This attitude will include the feeling to belong to an important community, Europe, that helps us to fight together for better relationship between families, schoolmates, teachers and students, neighbours and others members of our community, specially them who are being discriminated or can feel lonely or defenseless. The school should offer students an integrate formation which allows them to be active members of a democratic society. Therefore, they would be able to detect and analyze discriminations (gender, religion, sex, race, age, culture, etc.) in social, working, and familiar lives. They would change their attitude towards such types of behaviors and they would reject and condemn them in their schools, houses, groups of friends, etc. On the other hand, the participation of our school in the project gives us not only the opportunity for our students to practice the English language through interaction with their peers in Europe, but also a better understanding of Europe to develop their curiosity and respect for different cultures, using new technologies. The project S/HE EQUAL IN EUROPE will be developped during the school years 2015-16 and 2016/2017, with a wide range of activities such as creating the equality corner in the School, designing the logo, video conferences and e-mail with peers from other participating centers, creating new materials for teaching equality. The project activities will be connected with the subjects taught (languages -especially English that is the working language- music, geography, arts, new technologies, etc.) The project involves regular meetings between teachers and pupils in different participating countries. In these meeting pupils will carry out some common activities with peers from differents countries and teachers will evaluate the progress of the project, and will change the necessary aspects in order to get the best results.
