Academic Secondary Comprehensive School in Rybnik implements the Erasmus+ LANSEN project
Pupils of the Academic Secondary Comprehensive School of the Silesian University of Technology in Rybnik implement the Erasmus+ Lansen project (Language learning with sens(es)). On this occasion, on the 5th - 9th of May 2025, in Rybnik, a mobility took place, in which teachers and pupils from partner schools took part.
A team of specialists from different countries of the European Union wants to introduce innovations and inspire others in the field of language learning, using modern ICT tools, AI and educational platforms with the use of 5 senses. The developed didactic materials, taking into account the latest achievements of neurodidactics and psycholinguistics, will provide support for pupils who will enable contact and interaction with peers from various European schools, allow for personalization of learning, and implement attractive didactic materials in school practice.
The project involves:
• Instituto de Educación Secundaria de Alquerías (Spain) – coordinator of the project,
• Lycée La Salle Saint-Charles — Saint Pierre — France,
• Clara-Schumann-Gymnasium - Bonn, Germany

During the mobility, which was organized for the participants of the project at the beginning of this month, on 7th of May, a seminar "the brain and the senses" was organized in the Education and Congress Centre of the Silesian University of Technology.
