The school is attended by students from a small town and 9 surrounding villages. Many of them come from difficult environments and have low self-esteem which result in lack of motivation to learn leading to poor educational results. As far as teachers are concerned, they feel stressed and hopeless in tasks undertaken. That is why the aim of this project is to raise teachers’ self-assessment through gaining skills how to manage with stress, learning new methods of work and foreign language development in order to broaden the school actions by participation in e-Twinning projects and introducing CLIL at school. There are 11 participants who are going to take part in the project.
