The Sunday trip allowed the students to get to know Belem – a district of Lisbon located on the Tagus River with UNESCO-listed Hieronymites Monastery and Torre de Belem. Students’ foreign apprenticeships are possible thanks to the fact that the school has obtained funds from the EU program Erasmus +. The project „International Vocational Education and Training as an Opportunity for Building modern Europe ”provides professional internships for IT specialists, electronics engineers and teachers of vocational subjects in Seville, Lisbon and Valencia.
The costs of participation of students and teachers in the project are entirely financed from the funds of the European Union program.
