Schleusingen hosted 8 teachers from all the partner schools from 14th to 17th September 2017. On Friday morning after presenting our school the last two years of the Erasmus+ project were drawn up and an outlook on the following year of cooperation was given. In the centre of interest were activities like the ongoing professional dialogue between teachers to share and discuss good practice, live lessons in maths and in modern foreign languages, the "Great Erasmus+ Bake Off" and strategies for teaching SEN. We discussed what sort of special needs students there are in the schools and what the schools do to support them. Last point was the planning of the meeting in England in spring 2018. In the afternoon, the guests and of course the parents and grandparents of the students were able to convince themselves of their abilities during a "European Afternoon". A colourful program was presented in the auditorium, which was created in collaboration with different faculties. The bouquet of songs, poems, sketches and dances met with the audience's great approval. The Luther year and 500 years of the Reformation were the occasion to visit the Wartburg in Eisenach on Saturday morning. In the evening we celebrated 20 years of co-operation in Comenius projects with some of the "old pioneers of school partnership". At "Hennebergisches Gymnasium" we are proud to be part of this great Comenius school partnership. For details of the SEN work we did during the meeting and a copy of the newspaper report relating to our project as well as the European Afternoon, please see the files below.
