Collaborative and Reflective Environments in Schoolsย 

What is CaRE?

Collaborative and Reflective Environments (CaRE) in schools is an Erasmus+ project designed to foster cultures of community, collaboration, and reflection at all levels in schools.

This project included six schools and one university collaborating to explore CaRE might look like in schools in practice.ย
