Sukromná stredna odborna skola Pro scholaris, Slovakia
Private Secondary Vocational School Pro scholaris in Žilina, Slovakia, offers secondary education in
three fields of study: business academy, regional tourism management and information systems and
services. We have 172 daily students from various social levels and backgrounds and 17 teachers.
One of our most important aims is to lead our students to become a high-quality and attractive
competition at the EU labour market as well as to prepare them for their possible studies at a
university. The project will be realized in the connection with project-based learning. It will help
students to obtain knowledge thanks to their own work and activity, in fact it develops competences
such as the 21st- century skills and dimensions towards social inclusion. The project connects
entrepreneurship, tourism and information technologies which are the main objects of study at our
school. Our school offers training courses for the public, among others, also a training focused on
guide services. For this reason, our teachers can be responsible for the theoretical aspect of the
project and they guarantee that the project activities will be managed professionally. The project
partners are from different parts of the world and from miscellaneous cultural, religious and social
backgrounds what makes the social inclusion atmosphere possible.
