A seminar,workshops, study visits at schools and intervention.It contributes to the internationalization of education in our school,, opens up new perspectives for future Erasmus+ KA2 and eTwinning cooperations.It fosters new teaching methods based on authentic material, task based learning,use of foreign languages and IT technologies.
