Pirates Adventure in the Heinrich-Böll-Schule

They need to help each other because otherwise they won’t be successful. And here are the challenges of the day and the winning team: A myterious letter in a bottle reached the class… Designing a…read more

Posted by in Community, Meetings

In November 2017 the Heinrich-Böll-Schule had invited the project partners to the first meeting of our new project “Creative Learning in Action”. After two very busy days with discussions, lots of ideas and brain work we developed a first plan how to work on the project. Besides the hard work we also had had a lot of fun, made new friends and maintained old friendships. You can read more about the meeting in the minutes. Our presentations you can find here.
