Rozvíjíme komunitní školu
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Community schools are educational institutions that offer the possibility of lifelong learning to community (children, parents, the public) and respond to their needs and interests. They work on the principle of openness, active involvement of parents and citizens and building partnerships to improve the social climate of the school and the community. They use local resources effectively and help local development. The civic association Community school Kašava is the submitter of this project. Our aim is to be a centre of long life learning with a special emphasis on the rural adult population. These adults are disadvantaged in access to further education, as well as in access to employment in rural areas and their application to the labour market. The development of community schools in the Czech Republic is in the early stages. It is very hard to acquire the information and experience, the transfer of good practice directly from foreign colleagues seems to be the best way to help the development of our organization. In our case, this could be done in the UK, where community education became a normal part of life, and where there is a great support for the expansion of this idea. Specifically, we have established cooperation with non-profit organization CastCymru that has task of providing technical assistance to all the educational authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The main objective of the project is to contribute to the professional development of educators and tutors of adult further education in Community school Kašava, to increase their training through the transfer of good practice from abroad and to support the development of our organization. Through the week internships with the partner organization, participants can get a lot of information about the current and future functioning of community schools abroad. Furthermore, they can compare and further develop modern methods and tools in the field of adult education and they can also meet with management and fundraising page of foreign rural community schools that are on a very high level in the selected country. In addition, the participants can get acquainted with the methods and forms of local partnership and obtain useful contacts for further development. We expect our employees to increase their professional qualifications through project implementation. Moreover, it will have an impact on the target group - the adult rural population, the more education and better chances on the labour market. Ultimately, our staff will apply their knowledge gained in the project not only in our community school, but will disseminate the ideas to other interested parties , stakeholders and organizations interested in this issue in the Czech Republic .
