Project day at Gymnázium Břeclav🇨🇿

Last Wednesday was devoted to the preparation for the A2 activity which is taking place just next week! We are looking forward to meeting the Swedish participants!

🇪🇺Activity A1🇪🇺

Our project started off with a teachers’ meeting in Břeclav. During the A1 activity, we exchanged preliminary knowledge about different approaches to teaching entrepreneurship in Czechia and Sweden.

The teachers from Sweden were given a tour of Brno, the second biggest city in Czechia, where the Swedish army was defeated in 1645 by a bunch of defenders. A visit to nearby UNESCO heritage site, Lednice, was a must. Looking forward to the next activity which will take place in Skellefteå!
