We are a secondary vocational business
school. The High Comprehensive School Brace
Radica has got a population of 798 students
who can choose among four different courses:
economics, trade business and commercialism,
administration and office business and
computer technologies. Djakovo is situated 35
km far from Osijek, the second largest city and
university centre in the country. The north-
eastern part of Croatia is an area of flat
Panonian plane where cereals are grown in
quantities which satisfy the need of the entire
country . We have already had two Comenius 1,
JA N U A RY 2 0 1 2
one Comenius 3 and number of other European
projects , so we would like to continue our
development of our understanding of the
European dimension of education and learning.
Our students participated in numerous MON TUES WED THUR FRID SAT SUN
international projects such as exchanges of
1
students, ECO-schools, ENO-project, business
correspondence and some written projects with 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Collegiul Economic Buzau. Since 2002 the school
has been participating in Comenius partnership 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
projects and Comenius Network NEAC as a
silent partner. This exchange of ideas and 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
experiences fosters a deeper understanding of
our place in Europe and develops a culture of 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
friendship among students from the different
schools, cultures and backgrounds. 30 31

2. Základní škola a Slaměníkova
mateřská škola Radslavice - CZ
Radslavice primary school is the small village
school with 59 pupils 6 - 10 years aged. There
are five grades in three classes taught by four
teachers and partly by the headmistress. The
school is well equipped with teaching aids and
computers in two special classrooms. We teach
3 pupils with special needs. Our region is known
for high unemployment. Many families can not
allow children to contact with foreign language
environment. Involvement of children in an in-
ternational project is the best way to allow
them to link other countries.
This is our team - all teaching staff and chil-
dren (some of them were unfortunately ill).
2012
As you can see, our school has a new facade
and windows. In 2011 we completed a major re-
MON TUES WED THUR FRID SAT SUN
construction of school building. Our children
1 2 3 4 5

all rooms. At the work on the project Eco

years) and teaching staff. We are glad that we 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
belong to an amazing group of Comenius. Come
and see us, we will show you everything that you 27 28 29
find interesting.

3. Primary School of Sises
Primary School of Sises is situated in the rural
village of Sises in the county of Mylopotamos, Re-
thimnon, Crete, Greece. Our school is in a disadvan-
taged area, distanced from the city of Rethimnon
and Heraklion and placed in the middle of the two
cities next to mountains and sea. Our school is very
small in a difficult agricultural not wealthy area.
Each teacher has to teach two different classes with
different curriculum. We also have a lot of migrant
students from Albania and Bulgaria and students who
have parents from different nationalities.
Comenius project gives each individual child the op-
portunity to explore and develop their skills and
knowledge and their fullest potential within the con-
text of the European dimension and the common
identity notion. It will also help them understand
that the environmental problems are not situated in
one country but in every country and we can work
together to find solutions and ideas for a better
world.

The island of Procida, the smallest in the
gulf of Naples, right in the middle of the
Mediterranean sea, means to be a labora-

different shores of histories and cultures,

6. Dun Gorg Preca Primary ‘C
Our school is situated in the city of Ham-
run. Some of the children come from homes
after having problems at their family home.
The school is rather old but has a great
history of success. Important people such as
our late President Dr Guido Demarco at-
tended in our school when he was young. Till
now the school never participated in a
Comenius Project.
The school has already done various activi-
ties about ecology.
We have set up an eko skola committee.
This is made up of 14 student members
called eko skola buddies. These eko skola
buddies have been chosen by election. Each

8. EB1 Raul Lino
Our school is situated in Alcântara - a par-
ish of Lisbon, with Monsanto Park as his
"partner". It belongs to the Group of Schools
Francisco Arruda, along with four other
schools in the 1st cycle. It is an educational
establishment which in this school year has 9
classes, from 1st to 4th grade, with a total
of 182 students.
At school we try to give to the children
support and new experiences, which many of
them can’t ever have from their family. That
includes visiting different places where they
never have been, seeing cultural moment’s,
production of shows with the students and
general activities that involves the all school;
This gives them the autonomy of doing things AU G U S T 2 0 1 2
from themselves and develops their power of
choice and responsibility.
Other fact it´s that from six years ago, MON TUES WED THUR FRID SAT SUN
until now the population of emigrants has
1 2 3 4 5
been growing and we have student’s from
Brazil, Mocambique, Angola, Guine, India,
6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Cabo Verde and China.
With such school population it is very im- 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

communicate with other schools. Communicat- 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

10. III. osnovna šola Celje, Slovenia
III. OŠ Celje is a smaller primary school located in
the heart of Celje. It is one of 8 primary schools in
and around the city of Celje and currently has 372
pupils with 38 staff members. Unlike some other
primary schools around Europe, Slovene primary
schools educate pupils from the early age of 6 up
until they are 14-15 years old. This puts us in a
unique position to follow our pupils’ development from
small children into young adults more closely. It is
both a challenge and a huge responsibility. The school
building itself is over 100 years old and was always
used as an educational institution. It has been a pri-
mary school for over 50 years now and has been
somewhat renovated. The original building was with-
out a gym which was added on later. There are also
two outside playgrounds mostly used for sport activi-
ties and after school programmes.
III. OŠ Celje offers a variety of subjects, most of
which are determined by the state, we do, however,
offer some specific programmes other schools do
not. For example we are currently one of the rarer OCTOBER 2012
schools to be offering a mandatory second foreign
language and an optional third one for pupils from 12
to 15 years old. We also offer special interest pro-
grammes like chess education, different sport activi- MON TUES WED THUR FRID SAT SUN
ties (cycling, football, badminton, hiking, etc.), knit-
ting, drama club, debate club, book and film club and
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
many more.
It is our wish and goal to make our pupils feel ap- 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
preciated and welcome to our school as well as any
other guests who pay us a visit. We may be relatively
small in size but big in spirit and enthusiasm. It is
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
due to this last reason that we started reaching out
to other schools outside Slovenia almost 10 years ago 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
and we will probably never stop. Getting to know new
friends and colleagues across Europe through Comen-
29 30 31
ius enriches us and makes us try more and work
harder towards a common goal, which is to become a
school pupils will be proud of and will not mind visit-
ing every day.
