Erasmus days 2021
On October 11-15, 2021, our school participated in the ERASMUS DAYS 2021 event called ESCAPE ROOM. The task of the student teams was to open the lock on the chest, which contained other tasks, by finding the correct answers. The faster the team found the correct code from the lock, the sooner the next team in the class could continue searching for the code. The event also included a talk about the Erasmus+ projects that are ongoing at our school, while many students shared their experiences from mobility in Spain and Poland. Some students from our school participated in mobility in Portugal this week. The final part of ERASMUS DAYS 2021 was a quiz in which students answered simple questions and wrote their own proposals for new ERASMUS+ projects.
Erasmus days in 2020
ErasmusDays 2020 (October 15-17, 2020)
For the second time, our school has joined the European ErasmusDays initiative. This initiative, which takes place across Europe (this year from 15 to 17 October 2020), seeks to promote the potential of the Erasmus + programme throughout Europe, even beyond. Slovakia joined ErasmusDays for the second time and the common goal was to raise the profile of both the Erasmus + programme and successful educational institutions in Europe! Any institution that has implemented an Erasmus + project could be involved in the initiative and would like to help spread the vision of the programme and share their own experiences.
We also shared ours. We are a successful educational institution that has received an eTwinning certificate and a prize in the European Language label 2020 competition for the implementation of projects in the Erasmus + programme.
Although the coronavirus situation affected our Erasmus activities, many of the planned mobilities did not take place and the projects were extended by half a year or a year, we did not stop implementing project activities into school life. We continue to fulfill the goals of the projects and we try to learn as much as possible.
During the selected lessons, the pupils could learn about our projects in the Erasmus + programme through discussions with the pupils who took part in the mobility, who hosted foreign students at home, who worked on project activities. They shared their experiences with others (unforgettable as well as less pleasant ones to give objective opinion), talked about the benefits of participating in activities that Erasmus gave them. They answered the curious questions of their classmates.
They explained to them that Erasmus is not just about traveling, but mainly about getting to know each other, gaining new knowledge and competences, experiences and, last but not least, friendships and memories. In addition to the pupils, parents and teachers also shared their experiences with the Erasmus project. Pupils could take part in a quiz and win a few small prizes, they used tbrainstorming to express what Erasmus means to them and prepared word clouds on the notice board and decorated the balloons with words connected to Erasmus. All students heard a broadcast on the school radio about the meaning and purpose of the ErasmusDays event. Photos from the mobilities carried out in the last school year were projected in the entrance hall including those from Lativa and Italy, Sicilia. The teachers presented 4 projects that we currently have at the school, their goals and focus. 
In addition to them, a new project called e4L - energy for life started this school year. The project focuses on the energy we draw from the environment and our cultural heritage and the importance of protecting both. We believe that after the end of the pandemic, our students will be able to travel and join Erasmus learning activities again and acquire and develop the competencies necessary for their further study and personal growth.

Erasmus days in 2019
On October 10-11, 2019, the celebrations of ErasmusDays 2019 took place at our school.
Pupils of the 8th and 9th year presented the goals of ERASMUS+ projects in the form of presentations to younger students (5th-7th grade). They shared with them their experience from the implementation of last year's project meetings in the WATER project at home and abroad (Poland, Czech Republic) and in France. At the same time, they introduced the main goals of the new Erasmus + projects to the students.
The activities also included voting on the logos of new projects. Logos - the art works of our students are displayed on notice boards in the corridor.
Erasmus + is the European Union's education program for the period 2014-2020, which supports cooperation and mobility in all spheres of education. We believe that other Erasmus + projects will bring our students new experiences, getting to know the countries and, most importantly, making lifelong friendships.
