International cooperation through Comenius project

 

Salhus School has become a Comenius School! This means that we are given economic support by the EU-commission to have mutual contact with other countries in Europe. This is in accordance to “Culture for learning “ from our National Parliament.

Our cooperating countries are:

• Denmark
• Germany
• Lithuania
• Greece

Our project is called: “Art as a meta-language in building a common home” English will be our language of communication, besides art.

The project will last for 3 years,and the students from 9th and 10th classes will be participating .This might be the start of other projects to come !

In October this year three teachers and our headmaster visited the little island Lipsi in Greece where we planned the project’s first year. We were very well accommodated and taken good care of by the people in Lipsi. Parents opened their homes to the students ,served delicious food ,and the mayor of Lipsi arranged a special dinner for us.

Unfortunately we were unable to bring students to Lipsi,but in April two students and two teachers will go to Leer in Germany. As Norway is only associated member of the EU ,we have other rules as to the number of teachers/students to send.

In September 2007 Brønnøy will be host-country for teachers and students from our coordinating countries ! Then we will need help and support from parents. We will give further information about this a bit later.
