So far there have been no experiences with individual learning mobilities at Pater-Damian-Sekundarschule (PDS), although some colleagues have participated in several strategic partnerships (Comenius-projects) in the past. The German-speaking community in Belgium (DG) offers only few staff training possibilities, nonetheless there is a big demand in staff training opportunities, the PDS would like to use some of the European staff training opportunities in order to achieve its intern development targets. We would also like to point out that some of our most valiant "Comenius"-teachers are reaching the age of retirement and we would therefore like to enable new colleagues to develop strategic partnerships. So the aims of this project are to acquire new experiences and competencies in Foreign Language Teaching und Foreign Language Methods, communicative skills, the use of ICT for different subjects and project planning and development in order to prepare future strategic partnerships. In 2014-2015 we'd like to send 7 participants to different staff trainings in order to test on a wide range of topics, if and how these staff training proposals can help our school on its way to excellence. We are planning to use the results of these staff trainings internally, by organizing internal trainings in order to enable our colleagues interested or concerned by the involved topics to accomplish their ever more demanding job needs. We are convinced, that these experiences will lead to more intense forms of exchange in the future (e.g. job shadowing) and that this will help our school to continue the tradition of strategic partnerships with schools throughout Europe. We also hope that this project will raise the interest of all colleagues in taking part in European staff trainings and that this will allow our colleagues to get aware of their success in teaching. In the long run we hope to further develop the quality of our teaching which has been confirmed by international studies.
