Our students learns that they - in cooperation with other schools - can contribute to understanding between nations by establishing and operating a humanitarian project in Africa.
We want our students to experience the gift of giving to others, who have greater needs than themselves.
a. A two year Comenius School Partnership - where minimum three schools from minimum
three European countries will join.
b. Student exchanges - where students visit each other as part of a class exchange - for
example through a one year Nordplus Junior project - where the travel expenses are paid for.
c. Teacher exchanges - where teachers visit each other and follow each others daily teaching.
d. An online eTwinning project where students should communicate online with students from other countries
e. Assistantship – we would like to have a teacher trainee for minimum 3 months from another European country, who will teach in english.

Cheerfulness
Happiness creates a better environment to deal with adversity and problems. Students feel joy when they learn that other people count on them and need them, and students experience joy in their meeting with school staff. We believe that happiness gives the individual a personal profit and pleasure of life. Once students experience joy, they want to express themselves and seek out the community. Happiness means joy and gratitude for life, and it describes the Grundtvigian understanding of the Christian faith.

It is valuable to be part of a community. Therefore, we are a school where everyone actively participates in training activities and in open friendships. We are a school that is characterized by good friendship, and where there is no bullying. We are a school where it is natural to praise each other, help each other, talk nicely to each other and where there is room for everyone. In the community we are aware of each other, and we take responsibility for everybody’s wellbeing.
