European citizens should know and tolerate each other as they are in the same European family. The best way to achieve it is to work together on subjects that concern everybody in Europe, even the whole world. We believe that our cooperation will help our teachers, students and their families to learn to accept our partners’ culture, religions and habits.
Our schools will have a chance to share new and innovative methods of teaching and learning from our partners. we will enlarge our schools’ potential in new teaching resources, didactic materials. Our teachers and students will have a chance to strengthen their motivation to learn real foreign languages and understand their importance, ICT tools, as facebook, e-mail, Skype, video conference, virtual mobility, eTwinning.

The school partnership’s work brings students together in multi-cultural teams and offers them training and learning of the necessary tools, methods and attitudes to stay good cooperators and friends on distance and to shape a network for the future with their mates from other European schools by the together learning experiences in the project.
The strategic school partnership approaches cooperations with partners from outside of the school organizations in it’s

The project “European Cultural Ambassadors”, as the strategic school partnership which it is, forms the framework for the partner schools to develop their pedagogical approaches and methods for the needs of an education for the future and for better benefits for the student. Schools and teachers experience, that the old ways they know of, to improve their students’ skills and knowledge acquisition not longer are sufficient. The educational system is forced to move towards the circumstances, the society and technological development offers for a wider practice of knowledge achievement and exchange. National curriculums are undergoing changes according to the overall noticeable presence of multicultural aspects in a globalized world.
