Taulov Skole - Denmark

The web address of the school:
http://www.taulovskole.skoleintra.dk/

Taulov school is situated in the small village of Taulov with 3000 inhabitants. It is in the commune of Fredericia which is situated by the sea in the southern part of Denmark (Jutland). Fredericia have 25000 inhabitants or so.
Taulov school has 650 students from 5-16 year old. (1. to 9. grade). In my school the students have to choose which line they want to attend to when they start in 7. grade (13 year old). They can choose between:
Innovation line
Science line
International line

My students are in the international line which means they have an English speaking teacher in math, science, biology and chemistry. It also means they will be a part of an international project.
We are in a Comenius project called "A healthy mind in a healthy body" together with 5 other European countries. It is going on its second year now and has been very successfull so far.

Now we are trying to create a new project with Poland, Spain, Holland, Portugal and we need more partners, so please read the summery of the project below and come and tell me if you are interested.

Nordplus ideas:
1.  Border Towns as Bridges between Cultures
Participants: Narva Soldino Gümnaasium, Estonia, and schools from other border towns of participating countries
Narva is a town on the border between Estonia and Russia. Moreover, it is the easternmost point of the European Union. There are border towns in all participating countries. What are benefits and problems of border towns? What are their roles in the state and Europe? What do they have in common?

2. The Baltic Wave – from the Soviet Union to the European Union

Participants: Narva Soldino Gümnaasium, Estonia, and schools from Latvia and Lithuania
The three Baltic states used to be part of the Soviet Union, then gained independence and became members of the European Union. How similar and different is their history? How similar and different is their school system? What the Baltic identity mean?

3. The Medieval Castles in Modern Europe

Participants: Narva Soldino Gümnaasium, Estonia, and schools from other towns of participating countries where medieval castles are
The landmark of Narva is its medieval castle, which was founded by the Danes in the 13^th century. Medieval castles exist in all participating countries. Their role in the past was extremely significant. What is their role now? What do they mean for town citizens?

Lynghoj Efterskole

Lynghoj Efterskole is a small school situated in the northern part of Denmark some 20 km. south of Aalborg. Lynghoj Efterskole is a boardingschool with some 90 kids in 8., 9. and 10th. grade. We have special classes in music and outdoor life.
I have just started a Comenius project with a school in Vienna and a school in Noto at Sicily. I will go to Vienna with some kids in the end of Nov to our " kick off meeting". The theme is E-waste and systematic recycling of electronic devises.
Our school offers international classes in all three grades, and 45 pupils have chosen to be teached by english speaking teachers. We collaborate with schools in Scotland.

I participate in this trip in order to meet other teachers and hopefully create contacts that can be used in the future.

I would be interested in comon projekts between small groups of students. Tolls could be skype, e-Twinning, e-pals, e.g. I am OPEN to any ideas!

Our students must also meet students from other countries and via the many potentials of the internet collaborate electronically.
