A study tour to England

Expanded Comenius project financed by PHARE support

PHARE Final Support

Szilágyi Erzsébet Gimnázium in Eger took part in a Comenius 1 project studying chemicals in industry at a chosen firm concentrating on environment protection.

With the financial help of Phare Final Support there was a chance to expand this project and in spring 2001 eight teachers of the school spent a week in England. The programmes were organised by Chosen Hill School in Churchdown, England - the coordinating school.
