“Lost
in the morning, dead in the evening“
Swedish
child comments: “I think you are a little bit lost in Sweden”
;-))
Of course only few people can understand the meaning of this title.
Maybe only the ladies
who were walking the small path through the field near Billdal without
any orientation.
Maybe it was the wrong
bus...
It was with great pleasure
that teachers from Italy, Germany and Scotland gathered in Gothenburg
with their Swedish
colleagues from Nygardsskolan/Billdal for a few days to review their programme.
At the end of the
first year of their project they assessed their achievements which have
essentially
raised the awareness
and accentuated the ethos of being European.
International understanding
and empathy established at these early stages of children’s lives should
be
a harbinger for global
understanding.
During this week the
teachers visited classes where the children were keen to share their work
which varied from
geography to drama, including music, songs, PE and language activities.
They talked to pupils
and answered their questions. They reciprocated much to the children’s
delight.
Their teachers explained
how the Swedish curriculum is delivered and how the school worked.
The two headteachers
told them about their work and the administrative organisation.
