“Hand in Hand” – English “LieLa-style” in Czech elementary school classes
For 30 years now, the brain-friendly learning and teaching materials of the Verein Neues Lernen have been used with great success in elementary school classes in Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Austria. Thanks to the generous support of His Serene Highness Hereditary Prince Alois von und zu Liechtenstein, it was possible for the materials of the Verein Neues Lernen to find their way into classrooms in the Czech Republic under the name of Liechtenstein Languages.
In an intensive preparatory phase, a suitable partner organization was found: ScioŠkola.
With its visions, ScioŠkola is the ideal partner organization for Liechtenstein Languages:
- We want to make the world a better place. This is why we are striving to improve the education and development of children.
- We concentrate on the future, because education should prepare children for a high-quality life in the second half of the 21st century.
- Within the company, we strive to change the understanding of the goals, content, forms and tools of education. There we help to bring about change.
- We not only want to point out problems and cultivate the opinions of others, but also offer solutions at the same time.
For a first phase, a plan for implementation in five ScioŠkola schools was drawn up:
