They have been most interested in new approaches, methods and forms in teaching their subjects. One of the objectives set for the development of the school has been the ability to motivate pupils to acquire a wide range of knowledge and skills, to lead our pupils to awareness of cultural values and communication in English language. The choice of four participants in mobility has corresponded to the need to fulfill the objectives of the school. We implemented from wide range of the most appropriated courses within four months. One course was organized by European Bridges Consultancy in Portugal and three courses by International Study Programmes in the United Kingdom. The language and intercultural competences of the participants have been expended through innovative methods, they have learned to apply English in cross-curricular, project work with pupils. Through active methods that lead to improving the quality and motivation for teaching and strengthen teamwork in a pleasant working atmosphere, the teachers have learned how to apply the methods that lead students to their personal and social and moral development. The participant in the course in Portugal which was focused on motivation in the school environment has contributed to the development of the overall personality of pupils by organizing of extracurricular activities and sports competitions with healthy competition and tolerance among pupils at school. The course in Colchester focused on the acquisition of key competences in English language through Art, using the innovative features of the CLIL method has been the great benefit to the needs of our school. Our Art and Multimedia Education teacher will be helpful with the preparation of the K2 project, Strategical Partnerships of School , named Moral Values through Art.
