ERASMUS + project “My Best idea” ended

From 2015 until May 2018, the Ministry of Education of Rezekne implemented THE ERASMUS + K2 project “My Best idea”. The project took place in partnership with the municipality of Pitea in Sweden and with the municipality of Laives in Italy. Project activities took place in three directions: entrepreneurship, interdisciplinary training and digital Portfolio. The co-operation partner of the Rēzekne municipality in the realization of project activities was Sakstagala Jānis Kaida pamatskola School and the Optional School of Added Children (ABF) in Riga, who not only educated colleagues but also shared their experience with foreign partners.
In the municipality of Rezekne, thanks to the realization of the project, the dissemination of the ideas gained in the project was continuously carried out over three years, and the recruitment and revitalisation of the project: the teachers' professional development courses and educational summer school teachers, led by both the teachers of the pedagogy Karine Oganisjana and the teachers of the Optional School of the Added Children, Marika Melne, Cynthia Blūmentāle and Arija Melne. Another not least important measure for the development of ideas was the interdisciplinary learning ideas competition that took place every year. A competition aimed at motivating educational institutions to introduce cross-disciplinary learning as a thin and integral approach to the learning process is only invited to participate in the 2-4 teachers of each school team. The incapacitable leaders each year were Sakstagala Jānis Kco's primary school teachers, who merely attested the motivation of the project to operate actively.

• There was a successful collaboration with Sakstagala Jānis Kaida's primary school team, who is working on both interdisciplinary teaching and the development of pupils' entrepreneurial capacities. During the implementation of the project, there was an increasing number of creative ideas and more understanding of the work to be done.
