The School of Tomorrow –Shaping Today’s School the European Way project was originated against the background of a Europe in transition. The objective is with the help of various measures to extend teachers’ foreign language competencies and cultural knowledge. International experience and professional development courses on a wide variety of everyday school-related topics but also on the organization and structure of schools will serve to improve the quality of the Hermann Hesse School and to support a process of internationalization. A further goal is to give teachers the opportunity to prepare for the rapidly increasing heterogeneity of the classroom and to benefit from international experience by taking part in various mobility measures.In order to guarantee sustainability, the knowledge and experience acquired will then flow directly into an evaluation of the school curriculum. Teachers are also to be sensitized such that they can enable children and young people to identify with the Europe of tomorrow. A long-term aim is to enrich school-life and educational content with a range of different activities.Objectives:Experiences of school organisation and school structure are to be exchanged at the European level and teachers are to profit from experience with new teaching methods.
