From this stems the need for the school to be the main base of socialization, Knowledge , educational and vocational guidance of students, but also a means of communicating with contemporary culture. Our school , after evaluating the needs of students and teachers ,set the targets of the program and organized the selection process of the participants by setting criteria. The program’s objectives were: 1. Improving knowledge and practical use of English by the participants 2. To acquire experience in designing and realizing European level programs 3. To strengthen co-operation with European institutions. The main criterion for selecting participants was the personal desire to improve professional development opportunities and activities. Other essential criteria were: - The Intention to remain for more years in the same school and share the additional experience they gained. - They are ICT degree holders (A and B level). - The moderate knowledge of English and the need for improvement. - The vast representation of as many different sectors and general education teachers as possible. - The Non-participation in European mobility programs in the past. Then , the school looked for credible organization that will correspond to the teachers’ needs for training (it was used the base School Education Gateway).After plan approval ,based on the above criteria ,were selected two women and one man for the training realization. The women were teachers of general education ( the one of the Humanitarian Sciences and the other of the Physical Sciences ) and the man was teacher of Technical Sector.
