Agrupamento de Escolas de Ponte de Sor – Portugal

Website: http://www.aeps.pt

The cluster of Ponte de Sor schools is located in town of Ponte de Sor, in the north of the province Alentejo. It is formed of 8 schools, from preschool to secondary levels and has about 2,000 students and 200 teachers. Students come from all social classes and attend courses to continue their studies at university or more professional and vocational courses for labor market. The Secondary school, where this project will be developed, has a general curriculum and prepares students for university. This is why teachers are so motivated to take part in projects because this is the great way of giving students an insight and perception of what their future can be like if they decide to go to some other country to work and live. Commited work of teachers who took part in several Erasmus+ projects is appreciated from parents too because they realized how important the projects are for student, so in the last few years they help in their pedagogical, social and cultural development.
