The Parents’ Association of Exormisi kindergarten  school it operates via 7 elected members and works to promote parents interests and support the school in the education of our children. We host numerous events throughout the year – some are lectures for the parents and others are social activities and events for the enjoyment of the children.
We would like to get involved in a Grundtvig program.
Some ideas;

1)    Bringing students, teachers and parents closer together
2)    How can we deal with the needs of our children as they grow up?
3)    Exchange ideas and practices between other European Parents’ Associations
