Promoting inclusive education is one of the strategic objectives for co-operation in education and training at the EU-level. The first principle of the European Pillar of social rights underlines that: “Everyone has the right to quality and inclusive education, training and life-long learning in order to maintain and acquire skills that enable them to participate fully in society and manage successfully transitions in the labour market”. Inclusive education is a way to give all children a chance to go to school, learn, and develop the skills they need to thrive.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is a multi-disciplinary approach to teaching. The STEM approach encourages discussions and problem-solving among students, thus making them more self-confident and motivated to solve problems more efficiently.

Peer-learning visits are a valuable tool for the professional development of staff. They build a community of trust, open up classroom practice, and provide insights into effective strategies for a wider selection of good teaching practices and partnerships.

This course refers to teachers working in diverse classrooms due to the presence of disadvantaged learners, including migrant and immigrant students and children with special educational needs. Diversity challenges traditional teaching strategies and methods imposing the need to successfully manage a common context for all students thanks to innovative solutions.

Inclusive education can be seen as a process of strengthening the capacity of an educational system to reach out to all learners in the community. This course has been tailored for teachers dealing with classroom diversity and disadvantaged learners, including those with special educational needs or a migrant background.

The concept “Leading a future-creating school” refers to school leaders who have the future of the entire globe – its people and nature – in mind. They realize that the values and institutions, the entire world order, by which the world operates currently, are fundamentally erroneous and unsustainable in this time and age. Our course seeks to help school leaders understand the unique human capability to visualize a desirable future state of affairs, to work collaboratively and systematically for its realization, and to be able to develop their schools into arenas of creating the future, here and now.

The course focuses on the needs of administrators and managers from organizations in the Erasmus+ program to update their digital skills and understanding of information and communication technologies (ICT). Participants discover and – most importantly! – practice many apps and programs that are useful for the everyday work of school and organization staff not involved in didactics.

Mastering a foreign language is a life skill, but are our students really aware of that? How can teachers make language learning more engaging and more real for students? How can educators motivate and inspire them? This course will provide participants with the necessary knowledge to properly integrate various educational tools to support each student’s learning style, thus fostering their motivation, to apply the Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

BBS Walsrode welcomed our students and teachers with open arms. Two projects were carried out: the Wood Techniques students worked together with students from a similar Wood Technique programme to create a fun Mölkky game, which they were also able to take home as a gift! The 7th-year Industrial Electricity students, together with the German students from the Electrical program, created a light panel with special features. Thank you, BBS Walsrode, for this enriching experience!

Erasmus+ enabled our 6th-year Wellness & Beauty students to visit the headquarters of Germaine de Capuccini in Alcoy (Spain). There, the students discovered step by step how a beauty product is created and brought to market. They also learned more about typical Spanish massage techniques at a Valencian wellness center. An unforgettable experience!

In October 2025, our 5th-year Business Organisation students travelled to Strasbourg together with students of Business Organisation from BBS Walsrode (Germany) for an engaging international exchange! It turned into a busy international week for them: students from both schools gave a detailed presentation about their own school, they explored the city of Strasbourg together through a city game, they worked together on socio-economic topics such as unemployment, social security, and sustainability, they visited the European Parliament, and— as the highlight of the trip— they took part in an inspiring Q&A session with Members of the European Parliament Lena Düpont and Liesbet Sommen. Truly a successful Erasmus+ experience!

On Saturday, 18 April 2026, students from 5 Education & Guidance and 5 Wood Techniques, accompanied by several teachers, travelled to northern Norway. There, they were reunited with fellow students from 6 Education & Guidance, 6 Wood Techniques and 6 Interior & Exterior Carpentry, who had already been working for a week at Norwegian placement companies. It proved to be an unforgettable Erasmus+ experience: the students worked together with students from Hadsel Videregående Skole on several exciting projects related to their fields of study. They explored the Norwegian countryside and discovered Norway's salmon-farming culture and traditions. Meanwhile, the other students continued to gain valuable experience at their placement companies. Many thanks to the placement companies ENORD AS and Hoppensprett Melbu, and of course to Hadsel Videregående Skole, for these engaging and inspiring experiences!

The students from the 6th-year Wellness & Beauty concluded their final year at our school with an Erasmus+ trip to Valencia. They were hosted by the international school El Plantio, where both schools gave detailed presentations about their programmes and collaborated on a hands-on project. They also visited the headquarters of Germaine de Capuccini in Alcoy, the professional skincare and cosmetics brand our students work with at school. An experience they will never forget!

Students from the 5th and 6th years of Education & Guidance, the 6th year of Assistance in Living, and the 6th year of Care & Well-being took part in a cultural immersion placement in Tanzania, in collaboration with the Youth 4 Change project of the non-profit organisation VIA Don Bosco. They organised and participated in a wide range of activities for students at the Don Bosco Youth Training Center and for the children of the Huruma Care Center in Iringa. It was an unforgettable experience that left a lasting impression on all of us!

In February 2026, three students from the 5th year of Assistance in Living, Care & Well-being spent two weeks volunteering at Holah Baby House, an adoption home in South Africa. They helped with the daily care and logistical tasks and organised fun activities for the children. They also had the opportunity to explore a small part of the country and take part in a wildlife safari. It was a demanding but incredibly enriching Erasmus+ experience for these students!

The start of our international adventure in group exchanges and individual mobility programmes! We are still very grateful to the teachers from BBS Walsrode for their enthusiastic visit to our school. It was during this visit that the first contacts were established for the group exchange involving students from the 5th and 6th years of Wood Techniques and the 7th year of Industrial Electricity.

February 2026 was a busy month for our Woodworking teachers. In addition to hosting the Norwegian students on placement, we also had the pleasure of welcoming several teachers and coordinators from another Norwegian school, Hellerud Videregående Skole. Besides enjoying a general tour and presentation of our school, the Norwegian visitors attended several lessons taught by our Woodworking teachers and met with our coordinators. Together, they exchanged experiences and shared best practices from their own teaching environments. Thank you, Hellerud Videregående Skole, for your wonderful visit!
