SHORT navigation through Comenius bilateral and multilateral school partnerships

The objective of both types of partnerships is to enhance the European dimension of education by promoting joint co-operation activities between schools in Europe. The projects give pupils and teachers in different countries an opportunity to work together on one or more topics of mutual interest. School partnerships help pupils and teachers to acquire and improve skills not only in the topic or subject area on which the project is focused, but also in terms of teamwork, social relations, planning and undertaking project activities and using information and communication technologies (ICT).  Participating in a partnership with schools from different countries also gives pupils and teachers the opportunity to practice foreign languages and increases their motivation towards language learning.


Duration: The duration of both partnerships must be 2 years.

Who can apply: Schools (including pre-school and vocational secondary school).

How to apply for a grant: The application must be submitted by each partner to their National Agency.  The application form should be completed by the coordinator of the proposed Partnership, in cooperation with the partners. Each partner should consult its National Agency about any additional national administrative requirements before submitting the application.
