Gimnazija Vič, Slovenia – Comprehensive School
Extremely positive results of extra-curricular activities have highly motivated and challenged the students as well as teachers of the Comprehensive School Vič to start looking for proper partners internationally who would be willing to work with us through the Comenius Regio Project.
So far our students and teachers have achieved extraordinary results in different subject areas on a national as well as international level;
- competence to work in international teams and produce completed tasks with presentations as a result of several exchange programmes – Swedish, Spanish, Hungarian, Slovenian
- gold, silver and bronze medals in the national Haiku poetry contest – English, Spanish, Slovenian
- individual participation in different subject areas – gold medal in Physics – Israel, silver medal in ISWEEEP – USA, bronze medal in Chemistry – European Scientific Olympics, Informatics, British Council Project – Challenges in Schools – presentation of project work » School of the Future« at the conference in Budapest.
- Ongoing Comenius Partnership – Norway, Sweden, Spain, Slovenia
According to our rich experience we would like to expand and develop our work since the results of it have been outstanding. Equally we would like our students and teachers to enlarge their possibilities in getting opportunities to develop their creative skills and talents in different subject areas within the National Curriculum. We strongly believe that we can find partners with similar ambitions so we decided to look for an institution that would be willing to co-operate in the advancing, creative sphere. Comenius Regio Project seems to be perfect for us to develop and share our experience in order to work on mutual interests and desires. Creativity in different subject areas is our goal and consequently we expect our students to be highly encouraged in the need to express their individual creative skills and interests and finally strengthen their self-awareness in doing something prosperous.
OUR PROJECT
The Slovenian National Institute of Education strongly supports our ideas and is willing to enrol at the Comenius Regio Project on our behalf. We decided to challenge our students for the creative work (age 15 – 18 ) particularly in Science, Art, Social Studies and languages which would give them several opportunities to develop and realize their interests and desires as well as enable them to evoke their own potentials through creative work.
OUR EXPECTATIONS
The kind of work that we propose would definitely encourage individual work based on creativity, develop personal skills and strengthen self-awareness of teachers and students, which would be provided by teacher mobility, intensive work in international teams and sharing good practice.
Co-operation with partners who would share our interests would enable all of us to reach our goals and also enrich our experience crucial for the development of our future work, dependent mostly on creativity.
