[school-discuss] Are you aware of the chances of Comenius projects?



Dear colleagues,
especially those who are preparing Comenius school projects or language
projects!
Please read this information below and add it into the Comenius plan of your
own school. It helps you to get the so-called Mobility grant. The EU grants
concern mostly those who work in Europe, but your country may belong to the
circle of EU activities through mutual agreements between partners.
Please let this information go further :-)!
