IS IT WORTH BEING COMENIUS? - It is a difficult challenge: it implies good command of English language, great doses of effort, team spirit and extra work for sure; - It is not paid; - It is time consuming. Natalia Archilla Herrero – Leading Project Coordinator

WHY TO BE COMENIUS! - It means a new source of inspiration for T & S - It promotes team spirit among T & S - It provides students with the opportunity of learning interesting contents not included in the ordinary curriculum - It enhances students and teachers motivation - It broadens horizons for T, S & F - It implies a great impact in the educational community Natalia Archilla Herrero – Leading Project Coordinator
