European Project
Click an image to enlarge
The Comenius project was initially instigated as a means to develop teaching and learning skills and experiences within a wider framework. The scheme has developed into a European funded project involving staff and students from all the colleges listed below. The potential for further future European opportunities is now being pursued through further discussions with European partners. A second potential Comenius project has already been identified as well as high value funding threads which should allow many more teachers and students to engage in a wider and richer teaching and learning experience.
