International contacts

Co-ordinator: Mgr. Marie Kunderová

The foreign schools we have contacts in English with:

Smedbergsskolan, Vansbro, Sweden

We keep traditional friendly contacts with this school. Deputations of teachers and pupils come to see each other regularly. Last time, we welcomed five teachers from Smedbergsskolan on the occasion of our school’s centenary celebration in 1999.

But our relations with the town Vansbro, situated about 600 km northwest from Stockholm, are not restricted only to this school. Also the representatives of local authorities from Vansbro, who regularly visit Velke Mezirici, always call at our school.

Many teachers and pupils from both schools exchange informal friendly letters and e-mails and some of them have already paid each other a private visit.

Zespól Szkól Zawodowych Przygodzice, Poland

Publiczne Gimnazjum Zyrardów, Poland

Gymnasium an der Max-Planck-Straße Delmenhorst, Germany

The contacts with the above mentioned schools started after Mgr. Marie Kunderova had taken part in an in-service training of European Co-ordinators in St Jean d’Angély, France, in March 2001. Run and funded by the European Union, this training gave her an opportunity of meeting her colleagues from these schools.

By exchanging letters or e-mails in English, the pupils from various classes improve their practical knowledge of English and learn about the way of life of their foreign friends.
