Integration into Curriculum
Entrepreneurship - a lifelong learning model.
Basic Idea of our school’s curriculum: Entrepreneurship is seen as a lifelong learning
model. Entrepreneurship and Sustainability – two equally
important learning goals Students learn to see problems from the small
business owner’s point of view. Students learn on the basis of projects. They
need/develop skills for project-based learning. Students are assessed on their performance.

much better, and I myself have developed personally by going abroad. I am more seccure in speaking in front of others and
have more self confidence“.Sigríður Magnea

about new habbits. Also practising English, learning to know a lot of great people and experience the country I visited“.

THANK YOU!
Being a teacher living in a rural area means it can be quite difficult to get
retrained. It can then be the cause of job dissatisfaction , which can then affect
your teaching ability. I personally was at this stage in my work. The comenius
project has changes all that. Since joining the project I have found my job
satisfaction again and this reflexes on my teaching. After each visit abroad I come
back home full of new Ideas, which have helped me becoming a better teacher
and this benefits my students.Thank you to the Comenius for the opportunity to travel , to get to know other
countries, people, their culture and customes. I have been able to see different
sides of my students, have seen them blooming, speak English like their own
language og just finding other ways to communicate. Finally I would like to say
that since joining the Comenius the self confidence of my students and I has
increased more then I could ever imagine which is one of the greatest benefits of
this. My students will benefit from this experience in the future. (Halldóra
Dagný).
