Nordplus Junior Project

About Nordplus Junior

Nordplus Junior programme makes it possible to apply for grants for cooperation with schools in the Nordic and Baltic countries, such as for project partnerships, pupil and teacher exchanges and work experience for pupils.

All activities aim at strengthening and developing collaboration between schools and organisations in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It includes everything from minor ventures with a focus on the process and the actual exchange of experiences, to major development projects with the aim of developing new ideas, methods and ways of working.

Cooperation within Nordplus Junior is a good way of bringing new ideas and perspectives into the classroom. It also helps teachers and pupils to come into personal contact with the cultures, lifestyles, values, standards, languages and surroundings in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

“We Can Make a Change” Project

“We Can Make a Change” is a collaborative project involving primary classes of Tallinn European School, European School of Helsinki and European School Copenhagen. The main goal of the project is to raise the quality of teaching and learning by incorporating problem-based learning. It is also a great opportunity for the Nordic-Baltic Accredited European Schools to strengthen and develop their cooperation through common projects and visits.

The project has started in Autumn 2018 and will last until the end of the school year 2020/2021. Each class involved will develop projects based on problem-based learning (PBL) and exchange good practices with the other classes from the different schools. Two meetings are planned every school year:

• In Autumn: A project meeting and training involving two teachers from each school.
• In Spring: A trip involving two teachers and three pupils from each school.
