70th Anniversary of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network in Poland
On November 5–6, a national anniversary conference celebrating 70 years of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet) in Poland took place in Warsaw. Our Principal, Ms. Jolanta Kałuża, attended this key educational event.
The celebration gathered representatives of science, education, and UNESCO-affiliated institutions in the capital. The first day of the conference, hosted by the Centre for Education Development (ORE), featured inspiring panel discussions and presentations of educational best practices.
Key highlights of the program included:
- The official opening of the conference, featuring Prof. Michał Kleiber (President of the Polish National Commission for UNESCO) and representatives of the Ministry of National Education.
- International panel discussions focused on the global operation of the ASPnet network and the synergy of activities within national and international UNESCO frameworks.
- Presentations of innovative educational projects, such as the eTwinning platform, "Words for the World – UNESCO", the "Global School" initiative, and "Music School in Africa".
- An exchange of best educational practices, where Polish schools shared their experiences in developing global competencies among students.
The second day of the conference (November 6), held at the Foundation for the Development of the Education System (FRSE), was dedicated to practical workshops for teachers from ASPnet schools. The sessions focused on creating a "Travelling Classroom Map" and establishing international school partnerships through the eTwinning and Erasmus+ programs.
Principal Jolanta Kałuża's participation in this prestigious event provided a valuable opportunity to exchange expertise, strengthen international cooperation, and outline new growth paths for our institution in line with core UNESCO values.
