How cooperation between the Ecole internationale Gaston Thorn (EIGT) and the Foyer scolaire international Gaston Thorn (FSIGT) succeeds

Kontext / Contexte

Cooperation between formal and non-formal education has many nuances. For the child, the cooperation between the two educational teams means a reinforcement of his/her competences with the help of different pedagogical and methodological approaches. For both teams, the cooperation brings organizational challenges in everyday life.
From the beginning of the school year 2022-2023, two teams are going to share pedagogical spaces and consult each other on activities and projects. This close collaboration requires clear communication, organization and understanding.
