Purpose

International activities enhance the programmes of the individual schools in St. Stanislav’s Institution. They are meant as lessons in another environment, in which students actively learn about new places, customs, history, languages, natural sciences, art, music and other subjects related to the particular international activity. Among the most important objectives are familiarity and respect of differences and overcoming stereotypes about foreign countries and people. Foreign collaboration strengthens the collective consciousness of belonging to the European cultural space. At least one international event occurs every month. We are very proud of our international involvement and constantly aspire to expand it.

If you are interested in any kind of cooperation with St. Stanislav’s  Institution or have some questions about the projects that are in progress or have been completed, please do not hesitate to contact the international office.

This year for the first time we are organising a seminar about Experiental learning as a result of all the experience we gained through the past couple of years. To learn more about the seminar and how to apply, please click on the link below.

Future€nvironment

The environment, sustainability, global warming, biodiversity – these are topics which engage young people across the world; yet while many are ‘talking the talk’, they are not all ‘walking the walk’. This project aims to capture the interest of our students in the natural world and the environment and help them to make changes that will ensure the sustainable future that they are campaigning for. Although young people are worried about the future of our planet, many are not making the small changes in their lives that would help to safeguard the planet. Food waste, conspicuous consumption and reluctant recyclers are present in our schools in Belgium, France, Germany, Northern Macedonia, Slovenia and Scotland (UK). This project will encourage the small steps which can be taken by everyone for the good of all.
