Article 1

The purpose of this agreement is to organise joint action between school W and community X, on the one hand, and school Y and community Z, on the other, in order to enable the pupils of both schools to benefit from in-depth transnational school co-operation.

The objectives of this co-operation shall be:

- to improve knowledge of the language of the partner country and to develop bilingualism;

- to introduce an intercultural approach to teaching through experimentation and the enhancement of the partner country's culture in the implementation of joint projects;

- to develop personal contacts between teachers and pupils within the school communities concerned.
