• Cross-sectoral cooperation – mapping up partnerships, building cooperation

  Preventing early school leaving and leading back students to education is not only a task of the school. For a complex solution the mapping of peer-professions is necessary.

The school can increase its resources for the interests of the children concerned, involving the organizations and representatives of institutions working around the school.
