partners and coordination

preface

The HaydnRealGymnasium faces the essential problem of integration due to the fact that German is not the mother tongue for a high number of pupils. Intending to start a school-developing-project, we initiated the school-partnership-project “Setting Europe in Motion – Migration between Myth and Reality” for the term 2003/04 as a basis. The Carl Schurz Schule in Frankfort, the Liceo Classico Statale Mario Cutelli in Catania and the Lycée Nord Bassin Andernos could be won over to participate. The  Gymnazium Golianova in Nitra, which did not receive the approval, took part as a silent partner. The coordination was taken on by the HaydnRealGymnasium in Vienna.

Since autumn 2004 the partner-schools have been working on “Setting Europe in Motion – Integration as a School Development Project” for another 3 years, extended by the Sir Michaelangelo Refalo Centre for Further Studies, Gozo and the Bolyai János Gyarkoló Iskola és Gymnázium.
