Our school is general secondary all day school with approximately 200 students (a large number coming from underprivileged families) and 20 teachers. We offer a number of extracurricular activities like needle work, an English club, different sports groups, pottery. We are convinced that a better understanding of global issues and their complexities might help our students to find their place in society. It will enhance their awareness and interactions with diversity and develop in them mutual respect and responsibilities towards others. We aim to improve the attainment of all students and prepare them for life in a diverse global society and work in a competitive global economy. One staff from the English department participated in an ICT course for collaborative, project-based, teaching and learning in Malta, resulting in an English school website which is linked to the official website of the school (Let’s speak English). As new technologies penetrate the different economic sectors, for disadvantaged young people, ICT training can be particularly helpful in expanding employment opportunities. School staff must therefore have the necessary ICT skills and knowledge to develop these competencies in our students. The school’s European Studies coordinator attended the annual planning conference in 2015, where the topics and forms of international cooperation and collaborative work were coordinated. We could improve the motivation of our student to learn English by using our projects to introduce real communication to the classroom (using emails, newsletters and the programme’s moodle platform) Students became more knowledgeable of global issues and their complexities. The staff involved any training activity shared the learning experience with colleagues during staff meetings (all staff attended) and workshops of the English department of our school. International activities were shared with parents and the wider community through the school website, open days, extracurricular activities. Other activities like a week-long job-shadowing activity with a partner school were planned , but could not happen because of illness of the involved colleagues.
