"I am very happy to have taken part in such a successful project. I met new friends and intend to cooperate with them in the future. It was my first experience in an international project and I know I will continue to work in similar projects, especially because I saw how much this kind of work means to our students. I was surprised by the way our students reacted when faced with new challenges and how they managed to overcome all difficulties without our help. All in all it was a magic experience I would like to happen again."

On the way to new horizons

International school projects can be exciting and instructive journeys. On this website you can find information, tools and methods to help you "navigate" and orient yourself along the way.

Cross-border school projects offer the opportunity not only to improve social and foreign language skills but also to discover different countries and cultures. When jointly working on a project or even visiting each other, we learn more about the daily reality of each other and exchange points of view. We are encouraged to think outside the box. This is highly inspiring and enriching but can also be challenging.

This online resource is meant to encourage interested teachers and to give guidance as it provides a wide range of information, advice and support materials for the successful management and realisation of international school partnership projects.

Interkulturelles Zentrum has been involved in arranging and mentoring school partnerships for more than 20 years. The know-how and expertise gained form the basis of this website.

aces is an initiative of ERSTE Foundation coordinated by Interkulturelles Zentrum in cooperation with VČELÍ DOM.
