I. Introduction
The main aim of this partnership was to give all partner schools an opportunity
to observe and compare the different school systems in five European countries.
We prepared our strategy taking in mind the efforts that schools are doing in
order to get the best from their organizations and school human resources. We
also had in mind the idea of conducting surveys among pupils in different
countries in order to highlight differences and similarities. Some schools
managed to collect school data from the last 20 years, the others focused on
more recent elements, which allowed us to prepare diagrams which show the
“Steady European Development of My School- from past to present and future”.
We also have tried to have formal meetings with parents and representatives of
the school authorities. They expressed their views and perspectives for the
school development.

1).Diagram showing the steady school development from

past to present and future
In order to show the steady development of our school , both teachers and
students decided to consider as an important criterion the number of successful
school leavers over a period of time.
The students and the teachers involved in the project collected some school
data concerning the number of successful school leavers. We investigated the
period of twenty years – from 1978 to 2008. The results are shown in the
diagram below.
We think that the results are very good despite the fact that there was a decline
in the birth rate from 1993 to 2003 in Bulgaria.

The school of my dreams
Is it possible now after almost eleven years of studying to imagine a

school better than the one I used to stay and study? It’s quite difficult
22
but rather interesting and challenging. Especially if you want to be a
teacher one day!
The school – it’s like a second home to those whose home is like
the hell on the heaven. And for those whose home is a paradise. It
should be first of all cosy and comfortable. The teachers- friendly and
helpful but strict though. And the most important thing, in my school
the classes won’t start at eight o’clock or earlier. They will start at ten
o’clock and finish at five o’clock pm. The students will prepare their
homework at school.
The school of my dreams isn’t placed in a city or town, it’s far
away , perhaps in a forest. And students will have the opportunity to
stay away from home for a few months. Let’s take into consideration
the fact that after graduating they’ll be grown-up personalities. There
will be a career adviser at school. And the parents won’t be worried
about their children’ first job.
The discipline is one of the most important things at a school. There
will non-stop safe insurance for the children. So they’ll be calm about
their kids. Of course the parent will be able to communicate with the
children through the internet. Computers and anything will be insured
for the kids.
English language and other Western languages will be studied in my
school. As well as computers and anything practical and useful in life,
in the daily routines. The schedule will be not very busy and impossible
to get over. Both children and students will be at ease to do anything
they want but everything will be limited to some extent.
And let me mention, there will be compulsory sports exercises and
sports facilities will be provided: fitness hall, stadium and gym. It’s
important for young people to stay fit. The food will be healthy. The
students will be encouraged to take part in different dance classes.
There will be theatre and movie evenings. Disco nights, of course. We’ll
be working with young people anyway…
Don’t misunderstand me but we should be realistic. It’s not possible to
study or teach in such place. Never mind, aren’t we allowed to dream?
Sometimes it seems difficult to make dreams come true. It’s like to
travel around the world in a beautiful balloon!
It’s not just the usual heartbreaking closing. It is the approach of the
teachers in the school. Let the children fly away on the wings of their
dreams!

The School of My Dreams

23
Education is an important part of a human’s life. It builds up our
culture and improves our skills. Learning about the world around us,
gives us vital information which helps people form their individuality.
That is the reason why we all want the place where we study to be a
wonderful one. It is supposed to be, not only a building we have to
attend, but a place where people can find themselves and realize
what their interests and dreams are.
The school of my dreams is the one where everyone will be
responsible for his actions. The thing that guarantees someone’s
success is responsibility. Therefore, it should be acquired as a virtue
at the early years of children’s life. In order to achieve this, the
director of the school will be obliged to impose effective discipline.
A school with an excellent reputation has to create some new ways
to attract students from everywhere. It can be achieved by including
various activities in the ordinary school scheme. Each of them could
choose what kind of sport to train during the physical education
classes.
What is vital for the future success of students is their good practice.
That is why the school must provide fully equipped
Laboratories where students will be able to use their sense
perception for memorizing all the things they study about, not just
learn the lessons by heart.
In order to support children and teenagers to be creative, the school
staff could establish some groups where young people will be
allowed to develop their abilities like dancing, acting, singing,
drawing or whatever else they wish.
As a conclusion, I would say that the essential aim of the school
where I would like to go is to let the future generations find the best
way to become what they have been dreaming of.

My Future School
I have been attending “Varpas” gymnasium for more than 11 years now and I
have never regretted it. I saw my school change a lot and I am sure that in the
future it will change even more.
Firstly, I think the exterior will be renovated soon. I heard there might be a fence
around the school because it would mark the territory of the school precisely.
Furthermore, the windows and doors will be changed soon. Hopefully, someone
will decide to plant more trees and flowers around the school, too. In my
opinion, more benches outside would be an extremely great idea as everyone
wants to spend the breaks outside when the weather is good. In addition, I think
that every student will have an electronic school card and it will have to be used
to enter and leave the school. The information about it could be seen in each
computer at school. That would make the job of marking who has missed the
lessons or skipped school easier for teachers.
Although the interior of our school is quite cosy already, some things should be
changed to make it even cosier and comfortable. First of all, I think in the future
the walls will be pained more colorfully and there will be more modern lamps, so
that it is brighter. The authorities of the school have also said that there should
be a place with sofas and chairs to rest during breaks, so I am sure that will
happen soon, too. I would say that that my school will be changed by modern
technology in the future. I’m sure the teachers and students will have new
computers in every classroom as well as projectors and other digital appliances
that will make the lessons and the teaching process easier and more interesting.
Maybe in the future the students will be able choose whether they want to go to
school every day or whether they want to show up at school every Monday and
get a plan for the week of what should be studied. During the week the students
could contact teachers using the internet or telephone if they needed help. Then
on Friday everyone would have tests to check how well they learned everything.
Of course, no one would force a student to study at school or to study at home –
he or she would be able to choose. I think that this would make school less
stressful for some people.
There are other ways of making school less stressful though. The main thing is
to improve the relationships between teachers and students. Teachers become
more and more professional as years go by, they learn new methods and get
along better with students, so I have no doubt that in the future the level of
teaching will improve even more. Providing better education, understanding and
trust will eventually make a very pleasant atmosphere for learning and teaching
new things.
Personally, I think that “Varpas” gymnasium has made a big progress already,
but of course there’s still plenty of room for improvement and I believe that in
the future my school will become even better.

THE SCHOOL IN THE FUTURE
In the future, this high school will be like Matrix.

The students here will sit down on chairs where they can surf on the
internet to start their lessons .
Their lessoms will be optional and there will be virtual friendly
teachers . The subjects will be mainly practical , with no theory at
all. They will be able to paint and draw on their desks .
On the other hand, students will never fail an exam and will be able
to do lots of remedial work and tests to get better results in case you
fail.
Concerning the time schedule, it will be very flexible and you will be
able to start the class, even if you are late !
I personally think that this school type is possible, but responsibility
from people is needed .
Andres Becerra (B2B)
THE SCHOOL I WOULD LIKE
In a future, I imagine my school with a lot of changes . I imagine it

full of new technology devices and much bigger than now . Teachers
will be replaced by computers and robots . The lessons will be
quicker and shorter . So, the lessons will start late . There will be
some new subjects in the curriculum like cinema or photography and
different secondary school itineraries . In this sense, if you like, you
can study cinema and arts at the same time.
The only thing I don´t want to change is the friends I meet in this
school . There are very nice people in this school and that´s the
thing I like most about it.

Compositions from the Italian Partner School
My ideas about my school in the future
The Italian school system has really changed during the years. When my
grandparents used to go to school, in the thirties, not everybody could afford to
go to school: a lot of people were illiterate and they did not have any
opportunity to continue alter four or five years. Only rich people could attend
"scuola media" (junior high school), and just only well-off people could reach
high school or University.
At that time, schools were not very well equipped if not almost very poor also
because there was no financial support from the central government.
Just a few decades ago education has been considered compulsory but also a
right to be guarantee to the students and families. Nowadays students have to
attend school until they are sixteen.
Local administrations offer the schools a sufficient financial support which is
spent with the aim of improving and modernize the school structure: new
laboratories for the different scientific subjects, computer rooms, language
laboratories and sometimes "smart boards" and touch-screen monitors. Not to
forget better and adequate sports facilities.
Right now I can see a scenery where schools are becoming "rainbow islands":
different colours representing people from different countries. Even here in
Cagliari we are going to face a multiethnic presence of students coming from
everywhere: China, Morocco, Philippines, Senegal. In my future I see the school
like a cultural exchange hub, constantly open to everybody but especially to
adults wishing to go deeply into various interests and issues like studying a
foreign language or practicing sports or just meeting and making friends.
A very important role will be taken by the new technology which will most
probably substitute books with the Net. Thanks to Internet more and more
27
people will be able to attend classes from secluded or far-away places and get a
favourable human relationship with anybody anywhere in the world. Moreover I
can also see a school where teachers are more and more willing to listen to and
share problems with their students.
Well, this is my idea of the school in the future but, for the moment, I would be
very happy if efforts could be made in order to offer all the students, but
especially to those who cannot afford it, free textbooks to help them to get a
valid education for their future.

A STRANGE MORNING
Tic, tac… Driiiiin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Johnny, it's time to get up!” his mother shouted. Johnny, who was always late,
got dressed in a hurry and run out of his home to take the school bus, which
would take him to the “Gilbert”, the most prestigious school in the State. The
school bus was on time, and Johnny got on it.
He arrived to his destination and, while he was walking to the school, he felt as
if something had changed. But what? There was not the typical apathy of
Mondays, but the school was surrounded by a strange happiness. Getting into
the building he noticed that there were a lot of new technological equipments in
every corner of the school. For instance, all the doors were automatically
operated and with vocal opening, which could be used as a roll call.
Johnny thought that he had gone crazy. All the classrooms were bigger than
usual and with hyper technologic desks with a huge number of accessories.
Nobody had books or exercise books but everyone had a personal computer.
Johnny noticed a desk with his name. He sat down and started examining its all
new gadgets. He was very excited, with his computer he was able to do
whatever he wanted and thanks to a very small device placed besides the
keyboard he could make materialize anything he wished. Breakfast appeared
immediately but, while he was eating his meal, he had to stop because a
teacher entered the classroom.
“Today we are going to start studying the XX century music” said the teacher.
“XX century?” thought Johnny. “But what year is this??”
With a quick research on the Internet he discovered with surprise that it was
year 2526.
28
“What did it happened? How did I manage to get to far in the future?” he
thought.
During the lesson he started enjoying the new technologies and began to have
fun.
At the end of the lesson, he started to walk around the school, trying to find
some pieces of information about the new school system. Suddenly he noticed
that in the in the hallway there was a big screen with a writing on it: NOTICE
BOARD. Johnny started examining it and in a little time he found a file called
SCHOOL RULES. He opened it and started reading. He discovered that students
were allowed to choose their favourite subject every hour, and that there were a
lot of new, interesting and funny lessons. But all students had to attend at least
a fixed minimum number of lessons on some important subjects (like maths,
Italian, English) in order to have a basic education on the most important
subjects and not only on what they liked.
After he finished to read the file he decided to try the most interesting subjects
and he spent the day enjoying himself as he had never enjoyed in his life.
Suddenly, while he was attending a Marine Biology lesson, he heard a noise as it
was an alarm clock in the background, and the new school started disappearing.
He closed his eyes and when he reopened them he noticed the ceiling of his
bedroom and he sadly understood that it had been only a dream.
Then he got up prepared himself to start a new day in his usual and traditional
school.

An ordinary day with Shin
Our story takes place in year 3008. Our hero Shin lives his routine between
school and space flight as every terrestrial teenager.
His morning starts at 9.00 o’clock when he has to wake up and take his flying
turbo roller, which is actually a transformer and, as soon as Shin arrives at
school, changes and becomes a computer, and when the professor starts the
lesson it takes notes on its own.
The headmaster at the school is George Clooney’s head, all subject are
optional, there are many courses, for example technology, decode Matrix code,
and the one where you can learn by movies and meet heads of great stars of
Hollywood. You can also attend a fight course where Hancock teaches, the
29
dance one is held by Jamie Lee Spears’s and Shakira’s descendants, the acting
one is whereas taught by Al Pacino’s, Robert De Niro’s, Jack Nicholson’s, Dustin
Hoffman’s, Johnny Depp’s, Michelle Pfeiffer’s, Cate Blanchett’s, Meryl Streep’s,
Nicole Kidman’s, Kate Winslet’s and Drew Barrymore’s heads.
At about 12.00 Shin goes home where his bionic-nurse made him a great meal,
then relaxes a bit and if he wants he studies, if he doesn’t he can do not
because they have no homework, then he takes his flying turbo roller and goes
out with his friends to Mars to have a Martini, because everybody knows that “
No Martini, No Party “ !

A schoolgirl’s diary
15/09/2104
Dear diary,
I’ve got a little time to write you a few lines, and I would like to report you my
first days of my last school year.
Today we have chosen the courses to be attended during the year: I was so
undecided among nuclear physics and modern literature, Japanese and Chinese.
I would like to attend all the courses but I haven’t got time enough because I’m
also attending Sudoku lessons.
At last I decided for Chinese. I chose this language because last year I decided
to join the project “Balestrino” for an exchange friendship. As a matter of fact
my pen friend Shin Chan is arriving from Beijing in December. I've already
learned some words like “nihao” that means “hello” and I'm very excited to
discover a new culture.
These activities are very interesting and they are a very good incentive to
improve my study. Today I’ve been admitted to the second course of
trigonometry and tomorrow I'm finally going to take part in the first lesson. In
these days I'm very busy with the band of the school, because next week Liceo
classico-scientifico “Euclide” is celebrating its centenary to remember all the
students who helped the school to grow up.
For the circumstance a new swimming pool is going to be opened in memory of
“C. Argiolas”, the first student representative of the school who was also a
swimming champion. This is my last year at school and after that I would like to
go to Cambridge, my own dream. Now I have to go out with Vanessa, we are
30
going to buy the new C5794 multifunctional, because my personal computer is
broken and I can't finish my translation into the Sardinian language for
tomorrow. And I also need to be in contact with Shin
See you soon
Kisses Lella.
13/12/2104
Dear diary,
Today is the most important day in my life! Shin is arriving and I’m very excited!
Tomorrow I’ll take him to visit the school (laboratory, gym) and I’ll explain the
organization of our school and lessons. He will be certainly surprised by our old
equipments: we still have the touch screen whiteboards!
I think he will be amazed by our new instruments in the biochemistry
classrooms and the new optical detection wardrobes.
I hope that he will enjoy himself during our weekend school trips!
Now I have to go to the airport quickly because Shin is arriving.

IV. Our View for the Strategy for Steady School

Development.
Our project is an international , interdisciplinary work and
intercultural dialogue on the theme
“ Steady European Development of My School – past,

present, future”. Our school is our home – both for students and
teachers. The children are the future and the dynamic power of
Europe. In United Europe, the role of school as an institution which
brings up our children and gives them proper education will
increase. We believe that when students get to know much about
their school – history and traditions, today’s and future school life,
they’ll like much more their school, they’ll get actively involved in
the school life, their school marks will get better. The partnership
consists of schools of five different European countries. This means
that there are five different European cultures, presented in the
partnership. That’s why one of our partnership aims is to promote
inter-cultural dialogue and to explore the interaction
between education and culture, to find similarities and
differences.
Another main aim of the partnership has been to increase the

students’ motivation for studies through knowing school’s
history and traditions, school’s achievements which they can be
31
proud of, today’s school life and achievements and school’s future
development. The other main partnership aim is to find out how
our school has developed – from past to present and how it’ll be
in the future. We've observed that not only the students directly
involved in the project, but also all the members of the school
community have become more aware of the importance of
mastering several foreign languages in everyday life. During the
first school partnership year 2007/2008 the students and the
teachers studied their school and its development in the past and
present. The teachers and the students studied present school life,
school management and development. During the second school
partnership year 2008/2009 the students and the teachers worked
on a strategy about their future school life and development,
which is one of the project results. In this way, we’ll make a
connection, a kind of “bridge” between past, present and future of
our school steady development which makes our school a
democratic one.
Working together united in diversity, the third main partnership aim

was achieved- to get students and parents as well as all the
teachers actively involved in school life , school management
and school development and thus to enhance European quality
of education and to promote European dimension of
education , which is the other partnership aim. The partnership
popularizes the school as a healthy community, which is part of a
wider concept of an active European citizenship.
V. Conclusion
In accordance with our study in the fields of school life and

management , we consider the following things as most important
for the strategy of the Steady European Development:
• There should be a strong connection among all people –

headmasters, teachers, the whole school staff, parents, students ,
because they are all responsible for the progressive school
development.
• The parents should be involved in school management. In most

schools there are boards of administrators which consist of
headmasters, representatives of local educational authorities,
parents, teachers and students. This allows all the components of
society to be part of the educational process.
32
• The students should be actively involved in the school life. It’s very
important to know students needs and their views for the school
development. The students can be very helpful and useful with
their thinking and creativity .
• In each class, constant feedback should be enhanced among the

teachers, parents and students. This is very important for the
successful educational process. From our surveys, it appears that it
is often difficult to involve many parents in the management of the
whole school and the school life whereas they are definitely
interested in the individual results of their own children.
• The role of the headmaster proves to be essential for the

coordination and support of new and original projects.
• Partnerships with other schools from Europe must be encouraged ,
so that students and teachers have the opportunity to enrich their
knowledge of different cultures, different languages. We consider
this factor as very important.
• Representatives of the local authorities should be involved actively

in the school management.
• The pupils, as well as their parents, have confirmed their desire to
work in quiet and respectful conditions and to have new programs.
But our study didn't describe precisely in which way to make the
changes in the curricula.
• After examining the survey and comparing the results , observing
lessons in the different schools and discussing during the meetings
it is suggested that teachers should be given the means to enable
each student to achieve their goals.
• Education granted to everybody implies that teaching should be
organised and carried out according to a strategy of inclusiveness
of pupils of different cultures and origins.
