During the first week of September, our school welcomed teachers from Colegio Montessori Salamanca (Spain) as part of their Erasmus+ project. The purpose of the visit was to exchange experiences and gain inspiration for innovative teaching methods.
The presentation of our school was led by Ms. Peťka Sýkorová and Mr. Chris Ehrola, with Ms. Fernanda Alvarado helping to bridge the language barrier.
Our Spanish colleagues came to learn about our school’s innovative approach to education, shared their own experiences, and even taught a music class in Spanish together with Ms. Barborka, which the students truly enjoyed.
They took part in job shadowing, during which they observed practical examples of active learning methods. Ms. Deniska Ščerbáková demonstrated how technology and digital applications can be effectively integrated into lessons.
The visitors also joined a Lego Engineering workshop connected to STEAM education, led by Mr. Ľubo Gregor, where they saw how students work with technology directly during classes.
Our Executive Director and Future Classroom Lab Ambassador for Slovakia, Ms. Evka Polláková, introduced the visitors to the principles of the Future Classroom Lab (FCL) in our FCL BESST space. She explained how this environment fosters collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, and how FCL concepts can easily be implemented in other schools as well.
The visit brought valuable insights and further strengthened international cooperation in education.
