Generation Y – Adventures in teaching

Student teacher Eva from Germany has just arrived at her host school in Lithuania where she will work as a teaching assistant for the coming three months.
Carlos from Spain relives plenty of great memories when he returns to Lithuania after the end of his assistantship there. Both Eva and Carlos received assistantship grants through the Comenius programme.

Comenius Assistantships
As Comenius Assistants, future teachers receive an EU grant to spend 3 to 10 months in a school abroad and where they assist in teaching. This is an opportunity for them to boost their language skills, get to know another European country and its school education system and improve their teaching skills. Schools profit from hosting a Comenius Assistant as his or her active involvement helps increase pupils' language skills, their motivation to learn languages and their curiosity about other countries and cultures. If you want to know more about Comenius Assistantships or if you are interested in applying for a grant, please contact the National Agency in your country. More information: Comenius Assistantships.

Just a few weeks ago, Eva might not have believed she would be singing into a microphone in front of her students.
This 25-year-old teacher from Germany has just arrived in Lithuania as part of a European partnership programme.
She is one of thousands of young teachers taking part in a new working adventure abroad.
“It’s my first experience abroad. I thought about it for a long time, where did I want to go, I didn’t want a country I already knew from holidays or television, but something rather more exotic, so I think Lithuania was the right choice for me,” Eva said.
