Our school is situated in the 16th district of Vienna close to the Vienna Forest. School environment enables us to have a lot of activities in the nature outside, but also in museums or other institutions in the center of Vienna. Our school is a half-day institution. In total there are 327 pupils with different social and economic backgrounds. About 50% of pupils don’t have German as their mother tongue, there are 28 different languages spoken at our school. Our primary school includes 13 classes from grade 1 to 4 and a preschool class. Our team of 28 teachers is very excited to start this partnership project. We expect to increase our knowledge of relevant topics and the diversities and similarities of
European school systems. We want to improve our pedagogical and language skills through exchange with our fellow professionals. Our project will give us the chance to gain a wide experience of teaching children how to become healthy and self-confident human beings. In the scope of our school development we are already focusing on healthy food, the strengthening of life skills, prevention of violence and the development of resilience. It is our concern to exchange those experiences and receive feedback from other schools to develop ourselves even more and get to
know other perspectives.
