Zespol Szkol is located in Żychlin in the centre of Poland. Our school provides general education in all basic subjects, students (aged 16-19) attend school for 3 years and take matriculation exam in the end. A final exam allows them to enter colleges and universities. The majority of our students go to different Universities in Poland ranking in good positions. Over 120 students attend the school that offers the educational facilities necessary to ensure effective learning and friendly environment for intellectual development. There are about 30 teachers employed in the school. There are well -equipped language classrooms, computer room, a library with Multimedia Information Centre. The school is situated in a town - Żychlin - of about 1 thousand citizens. The school is situated in agricultural region, many of the students come from the nearby villages and some of them are disadvantaged for social-economic reasons. Teenagers come from different social environments, some of them come from broken homes. The financial standing of most of the families was difficult and it makes parents emigrate abroad to find work, some of the participants are called 'euro-orphan' and they come from dysfunctional families.The location of Żychlin, far away from big centres makes it harder to access the cultural goods, sport and recreational centres. The main source of education and development for them is our school. We want to give our students the chance to be well educated, modern citizens of Europe. Since 2002 we have been cooperated with schools from abroad. Our contacts fruited international exchanges that were organised from 2002 to 2014. Participation in Erasmus +project will stimulate students’ awareness and reflection on the differences in values and the respect for cultural diversity. Our priority is to bring together young people who want to be active . We hope that the project will make both youth and the staff more creative and innovative, they will be able to use their talents and potentials .We want to enable our students to experience something new, to broaden their horizons, to improve communication skills and to promote reasearch even on topics no tought in school.
