Lietuva, LT – LITHUANIA
Our school provides the four-year studies of secondary education. It has
advanced technological base: Information Centre, TV Studio, Music Record
Studio, Publishing Centre. A special attention is paid to the artistic
development of students who can choose a music band, Drama Studio,
Cinematographic Studio. Being politically/socially aware of current tendencies
and responsible for education of future generations for and in Europe, we
established Tolerance Centre whose activities will be integrated in the project
and which performs the function of stereotype prevention. Our school is located
in a rural, economically disadvantaged district far from the capital and
culture and economic centers. Kelme region suffers from one of the highest
unemployment rates in the country and many students are from socially and
economically deprived families depending on social benefits. Many students come
from emigrant families with one parent or just left with relatives which puts
them at risk of social exclusion and premature school leaving. Although
historically there were plentiful communities of Jews, Russians and Germans, at
the moment Kelme region is a homogenuous society with little or no awareness of
other nations and cultural diversity which makes a perfect soil for fostering
all kinds of stereotypes. Thus, collboration with present set of partners from
various European countries/backgrounds:Western, Central and Eastern Europe will
certainly benefit both our school and Kelme region communities. Being cultural
and educational center of both Kelme town and regional community, our school
makes an invaluable contribution in their active European citizenship
development and integration in EU. Our
school's close cooperation with Kelme Municipality, Kelme Folklore Center,
Kelme Museum and on national level with Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum makes
this contribution even more applicable, meaningful and ensures effective result
dissemination. In addition, we place a great emphasis on innovative languages
and ICT learning/teaching. Our students are eager to participate in
international projects as they see it as an opportunity (often as the only
one)to broaden their horizons and acquire the basic life-skills/competences for
their personal development, future employment and active European citizenship.
While implementing this project our teachers and administration will enhance
quality and European dimension in their pedagogical approaches and school
management respectively.
