Global Education and European Teaching Strategies
2018-1-ES01-KA101-049441
Activity 1: A specifically designed workshop on sustainability co-
organised with an experienced partner, the European research
institute Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and held in the school. The
programme included an excursion to the research site of Elettra
Sincrotrone Trieste, a discussion with experts and a presentation of
best practice examples on how to contribute to ecological
sustainability through research and teaching and learning practices.
An expert talk on how to increase the representation of women in
science and technical professions was also organized. The excursion
was followed by intense working sessions on how to transfer the
ideas for the quality development process in AHS Rahlgasse.
Activity 2: A group of teachers took part in the international
encounter for March of Remembrance and Hope in Auschwitz-
Birkenau in Poland. The “March of Remembrance and Hope” is a
non-profit association that offers the program “MoRaH” to Austrian
school students. The purpose of this march is to teach students of
various religious and ethnic backgrounds about the dangers of
intolerance through the study of the Holocaust and other World War
II genocides as well as to promote better relations among people of
diverse cultures. The MoraH 4-day programme combined guided
tours in the memorial sites in Auschwitz I and II, encounters with
holocaust survivers, visits to sites of Jewish Life in Krakau and of
course the participation in the march itself which brought together
teachers, students, holocaust survivors and family members of
holocaust victims from many countries in the world. In addition a
preparation workshop for teachers took place in Austria. A public
presentation of project work in schools took place after the
international meeting and gave an insight in anti-racism work and
holocaust education projects of the participating schools.
The aims and objectives of the project were fully achieved and the
results were really relevant to the school mission. Some of the results
were:
 curriculum development for the training course on GUS topics,
pinpointing ideas for encouraging girls to take up science and
technical topics.
 the application for a new Erasmus+ KA101 project in 2015 call in
order to follow up on this proposal.
 participation in an Erasmus+ KA 219 strategic partnership
project (2015-17)
 creation of an international driving team and a training course
for the participants
 new optional subject: Module “Go International” for upper
secondary students
