5 teachers from Panevėžys “Vyturio“ Progymnasium visited Riga’s 22nd Middle School to learn about the little things the community does to achieve Creativity, Leadership, Cooperation and Responsibility. We observed the activities of the annual Creative Assembly, shadowed various lessons in primary school and informal activities. We also had a chance to ask and discuss project and career-related activities of the school and some bigger extra-curricular activities, e.g. the class boat tours. We acquired knowledge of Latvian school system, got new ideas in teaching methods and school management.
The visit was a part of Erasmus+ KA1 project EQ – Challenge of Contemporary School by Panevėžio “Vyturio” progimnazija. The project aims to learn about emotional intellect and how to teach it. During this visit we saw that foremost it is important to improve the teachers’ emotional capacity and that EQ could be promoted indirectly in all the activities in school and it should be implemented strategically to achieve a significant result. Rigas 22. Vidusskola is very strong in this field.
We thank all the community of your school for the warm welcome and professional cooperation.
