Newsletter #2

Welcome to the second edition of our Erasmus+ project newsletter —Sportify - ’Sport for All, With All’ The project is focussed on developing the concept of ‘Inclusivity’ through participation in Unified and Inclusive sports events with students from our partner schools, NMS Engelsdorf in Graz, Austria and the Agios Spyridonas Special School in Larnaca, Cyprus. This project is from 2019-2021 and is an opportunity for all students in the school to participate in Inclusive sports events, here in Luxembourg and also in Austria and Cyprus. This second edition has a special focus on the visit to St George’s by staff and students from our partner schools in March 2020. Mr Cooper is presented with gifts for the school by our guests.
