Twenty five countries were asked to provide more in-depth profiles of two of their ASPnet schools, in order to provide ‘50 school profiles’ (for the 50 years of ASPnet).
The profiles below1 draw out some of the features of the schools, in order to demonstrate the range of type of school in the net, as well as highlight activities of interest. Some schools are clearly better funded than others, but, although chosen by the Coordinators, are by no means all ‘elite’ schools.
They have in common the commitment to UNESCO ideals and the four ASPnet themes, and all report activities reflecting teaching about UNESCO, international days, human rights, democracy, non-violence, intercultural learning and protection of the environment – so these are not particularly singled out below. From comparison with the main sample, these ‘profile’ schools would be typical of activity rather than exceptional, and it must be stated that many of the main sample also engage in the activities mentioned.
