Community & English develops and implements a Community-connected learning approach for formal and non-formal English classes in secondary schools. Teachers strengthen their skills in innovative pedagogy, VR-based educational tools, Open Educational Resources and eTwinning, while students apply English through teamwork, research, community-focused challenges and VR-supported competitive activities. The project combines teacher capacity building, school-based implementation and transnational exchange to make language learning more engaging and connected to real-world issues.
