Among them there are four English teachers, one German teacher, who want to improve their methodical and linguistic skills, and five teachers of general subjects, who want to improve their English language skills, especially in the range of communicative skills in English. The project participants are communicative and open to new, innovative ways of improving professional qualifications and want to improve their language skills. Several project participants already have some experience in international exchanges, which would probably have a positive impact on the quality of project management and coordination of the project group. The others want to improve their skills in order to establish cooperation with schools from the EU countries. Participants are people who are willing to involve in promoting the learning of foreign languages and introducing new methods and ideas to everyday practiceteaching.- the activities: The main activities related to the realization of the project "Learning foreign languages broadens horizons" are:1) Preparation of the European School Development Plan and the realization of its points on each stage of the proposed project.2) Participation of project participants in the preparatory language, methodological and cultural courses, and arrangements for travel and stay in training.3) Participation in training abroad.4) Preparing, conducting and making surveys and analyses to assess the effectiveness of the activities planned in the project.5) The organization of training sessions and open lessons to teachers from our school and other schools from Poznan in order to exchange information and experiences.6) Promoting among students and other teachers at the school continued need for learning foreign languages in order to communicate freely with citizens of other European countries.7) Bringing students, other teachers, parents and representatives of local community closer to culture, traditions and customs of the visited countries from the EU through the organization of competitions and cultural events. 8) Raising students in the spirit of tolerance and respect for cultural identity, openness to other traditions and to counteract stereotyping.9) Modernization of the facility by incorporating modern methods to their daily teaching practice.10) Adaptation of curricula to individual students' needs.11) Establishing international cooperation.- effects:Linguistic competence and methodological experience gained by teachers during the training will be permanently incorporated into the development plan of our facility. Immediately after returning from a foreign exchange teachers will train each other and improve their competence in the language and teaching, and also transfer their knowledge to other teachers from our school and other schools in Poznan. The newly acquired methodical and language competence by teachers will help modernize curricula and methods of their implementation of all school subjects and to initiate a series of language training teaching staff. We also want that our curricula offered by our institution are up to date kept refreshed and modified, taking into account current trends in methodology and individual needs of students. The realization of the project will contribute to increase the level of teaching languages at school as well as enable the continuation of the process of introducing CLIL (the introduction of this method of teaching classes with more items than before). An important task will be for us to establish cooperation with educational institutions from the EU and the organization.
