MIR: (Mechatronic - IT - Robotic): Networking of schools and companies at international level 

LINKgroup’s Information Technology High School, ITHS, participates in the project MIR. The aim of this project is to harmonize school development plans with the latest international standards in education.  
The role of national and international networking with other educational institutions is very important in order to achieve the school’s mission and vision, as well as to establish links with the business sector that offers employment opportunities for our students. For that reason, our institution is planning a partnership with the secondary technical school from Slovenia, Srednja sola tehniskih strok Siska.
 
 
After the project, the teachers will apply the knowledge, competencies and experience acquired in mobility in their teaching practice, thus responding to the challenges of modern teaching: creativity, learning through good practice, project-based orientation, teaching process, access to international school networks, and the development of European competencies of teachers.
