Teachers 4 Europe

Mandoulides Schools have taken part in two “Teachers4Europe” programs since 2015.

As part of this project, they keep abreast of EU developments and opportunities, cooperate with each other and improve their skills by using innovative experiential teaching methods based on information and communication technologies.
