Eco-Schools is a sustainable development programme that steers those involved towards long-term, effective and inspiring action. The programme implements different aspects of sustainable development.

ERASMUS+ KA210 – PROJECT

In spring 2023, an Erasmus+ project coordinated by Posio High School was launched. Our partners are the upper secondary schools Colgiul Dobrogean Spiru Haret in Romania and Manavgat Borsa İstanbul Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi in Turkey.

The project aims to digitise local history and traditions through student research and work. These digital recordings will be used to bring the history and traditions of our own and partner countries to all schools involved in the project in the project area. Students also have the opportunity to use their language and digital skills and broaden their knowledge of Europe.
