Press Release: Comenius, the EU programme for schools, helps foreign language learning and improves intercultural awareness

Participating in a school partnership under the EU's Comenius programme brings clear advantages to the pupils, teachers and schools involved. This is the main finding of a recent study of the impact of European school partnerships funded through Comenius. Such school partnerships have been found to help pupils to learn better, they improve schools' teaching and learning environments, motivate pupils and teachers to learn foreign languages, and improve intercultural awareness and competences.
