Gimnazjum Nr 1 Im. Ziemi Kujawskiej - Gniewkowo, POLAND
Currently our school has got 497 students and it is situated within a socio-economically disadvantaged area. Families in Gniewkowo face high unemployment and what is more violence is a big problem for the surrounding community. Low aspirations, low self-esteem and poverty are very common within families what is reflected by pupils' school life. This situation is also the reason of social exlusion in the area.
Our school tries to cope with the mentioned above problems and provides free school meals for the poorest students as well as some learning support in order to equalize educational opportunities . In our school we have students with various potentials. The ones with moderate learning difficulties are provided with professional help so as to be able to succeed in learning according to their abilities.
There is also Creative Students' Club in our school which aims to broaden the educational opportunities for our
most talented students. We are going to develop our students' abilities to communicate in foreign language and taking part in the project is the best means for this idea.
In order to be well prepared for the new partnership our school organized a preparatory meeting in January 2013. We believe we will be able to encourage our students to investigate and discuss the topic of the project and therefore make educational process in our school more exciting as well as prepare our students for their adult life. The topic we have chosen with our partners will also integrate many different subjects taught in our school.
