Another busy year is coming to a close for Confluence. At last
we are bringing this blog up to date!
As always, the
opportunity to connect with colleagues from across Europe has been incredibly
enriching. We are also delighted that Barbara Jones has increased her
involvement at Confluence - having relinquished her post at Beeslack High
School, where she has been teaching for the past 12 years, she is now sharing
some of her other talents with us too, whilst adding a CELTA training to her
list of skills. She is still actively involved with the delivery of the
training courses, along with our team of Jane, Frances, Anne, Julie, Tine, Wendy & Alison. In July, after 10
years of sterling service, having been heavily involved since the very beginning, Margaret decided
to step down after delivering yet
another very successful course for Primary teachers. We shall miss her!
Since the start of the Erasmus+ Programme, in the summer of
2014, we have welcomed over 200 colleagues on various Erasmus+ projects - and
we can now proudly say that 28 EU nations & associated countries have been
represented amongst the participants in these. Last year we added Romania & Slovenia to
our list, and this year Slovakia.
Colleagues from the French regions of Tahiti and Reunion Island have
also added their own special flavour to the week-long training courses which we
share with our colleagues from LFEE. But
it's also great to have friends from Iceland and Malta back with us again after
a few years' break.
