B. Number and profile of participants: From our school participated in the training the School Headmistress , which simultaneously teaches in E - F class of the school. As being the Headmistress of the school and simultaneously school teacher, I am always really interested in taking care of the school needs and I try to optimize the quality of teaching and the internationalization of the school community. Our school is located in a village in the province. For that reason there is a lack of equal opportunities and possibilities in comparison with the schools in big cities. There is an immediate need for students to develop their knowledge, for teachers to improve teaching methods and generally for school there is a necessity to open it's boarders in Europe. There is a need of the internationalization of Greek institutions and the combination of the Greek element in education with the European one. Through this particular project, we can say that there has been given a chance to the school to open its' horizons and offered to students european ideas and standards. C.

Methodology to be used in carrying out the project: Trainees were shown new, innovative methodologies for teaching in different subjects, in cross-curricular projects and for solving real-world problems. They were given the opportunity to interact and generate new ideas for activities and to critically evaluate their results. Trainees worked within a group instructional setting. Trainers guided, observed, listened, evaluated and provided feedback for each module. Concepts were examined with regard to cross-curricular awareness. Activities suitable for special needs children were also presented, discussed and created. Time was allocated for discussion, feedback and sharing of ideas. E.

Upgrading of school and joining a European infrastructure model. 3. Increased awareness of improving teaching skills through observation and interaction with other teachers at work in a different country. 4. By experiencing different cultures and actively participating in a group of teachers, there was a better understanding of important issues, such as the implementation of new teaching methods and approaches and how they are enabled through the active participation of students. 5.
