We have strengthened the European dimension of our school and improved our teachers' intercultural skills and their skills in the area of managing European projects. Internationally we have partnered with schools and other educational institutions, concurrently we have motivated our professional workers to engage in projects. To meet these objectives, it was necessary to educate great many of our teachers in the field of managerial skills and intercultural integration, to enable them to carry out the projects and motivate as many students as possible. This has helped the students to develop into open European citizens ready to enter the European labour market where multiculturalism and openness are very important. The teachers have acquired the knowledge at seminars of intercultural training and training in management areas. It is important that our teachers attend the training along with teachers from other countries, so that intercultural education itself is not only the context of the educational part of the seminar but also proceeds throughout the whole seminar. At the same time we met potential partners in new projects. Concidering the perceived needs in the surroundings, according to the strategic orientations of Slovenia and the European Union, we have taken care of the quality functioning of the entire organization in various fields and care for development of the employees, new programmes have been developed, new methods and forms of work have been introduced, coordination at the local, national and international level has been enhanced.
