: Different Pieces of the Same Jigsaw  :

Comenius is an educational part of the EU's Socrates Programme that aims to promote cooperation and understanding between different cultures and countries in Europe.  Its' main aims are to enhance the European studies aspect of schoolwork and to help develop language and intercultural awareness.

Global citizenship is important to all our countries and we seek to support our students in gaining the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary to become responsible global citizens, in a fast changing, modern world. We wish to celebrate our similarities and understand our differences.

Through our project – Different Parts of the Same Jigsaw – we aim to develop awareness of each other and our local environments; to bring together teachers and students to exchange and develop ideas, whilst providing a basis for our students to broaden their awareness and understanding; gaining important life skills and experience…and no doubt we will make lasting friendships.

Our two-year project links schools in the United Kingdom, Austria and Hungary, with associated partners in Spain and Romania.
