Job-shadowing in Sønderskov-Skolen (Søndenborg, Denmark)
4th February 2019 - 8th February 2019
LEAPS
The letters L, E, A, P, S stand for (Learning and Engagement through Authentic
Projects with focus on Science).
It all started in 2015 when a group of pharmaceutical and chemistry firms (Novo Nordisk
Foundation) in the area decided to invest money on the scientific competences of local students.
Together with Søndenborg’s Municipality and all the schools in the city, they decided to implement
measures to improve science skills. They also asked the SDU (The University of Southern Denmark)
to do some research on the field of enhancing students’ scientific competences.
In Sønderskov Skolen, they decided to implement LEAPS. There are 4 schools in Denmark
implementing LEAPS.
KATA FONDEN - A foundation that works on pedagogical programmes is involved in this project too.
