IS IT WORTH BEING COMENIUS?

- It is a difficult challenge: it implies good command of English language, great doses of effort, team spirit and extra work for sure;- It is not paid;- It is time consuming.

Natalia Archilla Herrero – Leading Project Coordinator

WHY TO BE COMENIUS!

- It means a new source of inspiration for T & S- It promotes team spirit among T & S- It provides students with the opportunity of learning interesting contents not included in the ordinary curriculum- It enhances students and teachers motivation- It broadens horizons for T, S & F- It implies a great impact in the educational community
