The world is changing very fast these days, and schools find it hard to keep up and stay relevant. This causes students to lose motivation as they don't see the relevance of the work they do in schools, the system of which is based on a society from decades ago.
This project aims to reinvent the school environment together with the students and create a school that better prepares our youth for tomorrow's working life. Our future society will be even more global, digitalised, project- and result-oriented, individualised and ever changing (putting emphasis on life-long learning and flexibility). We aim to find new teaching and learning methods, new learning environments indoors and outdoors through research and experiments and by implementing best practices from all partner schools, in order to help our students attain the relevant skills for tomorrow's job market. The project is meant to improve the teaching practices in our schools permanently.
