International project Erasmus+ "Sustainable Development: Possible Solutions"

This project focuses on sustainable development, mainly sources of energy, and finding solutions. We work together with four schools from France, Portugal, Finland and Greece since October 2020. Four Czech pupils visited the Greek school in May.

The second project meeting was held in our school from 3rd October to 7th October. All 19 foreign students aged 13 to 18 stayed in families with Czech pupils. Families provided breakfast, snacks and supper during the project week. Evening activities were planned by the hosting pupils. Many hosting families developed a long-life friendship with their guests.
