The WinterSpring week about IoT just started. This is a project of GBS and GLR.
Proud to be part of it.

7 studenten, 2 docenten en de projectleider zijn weer in Paramaribo voor het www.parrot-sr.nl project. Samen met de studenten en docenten van het NATIN werken aan een website over de overeenkomsten en verschillen tussen ROTterdan en PARamaribo.

The EFVET conference on Rhodos just started.

Visiting Northampton to introduce the Bridging students the University of Northampton.

Last week, a delegation from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science visited the Graphic Lyceum Rotterdam and Zadkine. The focus of the visit was on the opportunities that internationalization offers in education to MBO students.

Sjoerd Wanrooij of Bureau Internationalisering received the visitors at the GLR and took them on a tour of the school. He explained the professional context within which internationalization takes place at the GLR.

Participants from various international projects shared their experiences. For example, teacher Manouk van Eesteren reflected on the DOCE project (Digital Online & Creative Education). In this project, several European schools shared their experiences with online education in the creative sector.

Student Tyra, who graduated in 2019 in the AV Specialist course, talked about her time in England where she participated in the Commerciapolis project. Tyra has also completed the Bridging Course at GLR, which gives GLR students the opportunity to complete their bachelor's degree within one year at one of GLR partner Universities in the UK. Tyra still lives there. These were just some of the stories shared with the ministry staff, who were impressed by the many projects and internships of students abroad.

From November 14 till 18, 2022, we had our final CS-21 meeting at ETIC in Lisbon. A very nice meeting with good results for participating teachers but also students.
Covid was a obstacle for this project overall but also for this final meeting. Afterall it was a very fruitfull meeting.

The artist Kenny B, well known in Suriname and the Netherlands, came to the terrace of Zus & Zo in Paramaribo especially for an interview by the GLR and NATIN students. Thank you Kenny B!

The GLR Parrot team arrived at Suriname international Airport for a new www.Parrot-sr.nl meeting. A project that focus on the similarities between Paramaribo and Rotterdam.
But more important is the collaborations between GLR and NATIN, the collaboration between the teachers an students of both schools.Check out yourself www.parrot-SR.nl
