3. Introduction
nanotec for schools is a Swiss non-profit association with ideal goals
located in Lausanne. Its first objective is to promote STEM and
nanotechnologies through knowledge sharing and within specific
projects.
We give organisations a learning methodology with modules, courses,
pedagogical material and training for national and international
competitions.
All this material can also be used for schools exchanges between students
at national and European level.

10. International offices in schools
The four key points of the international office could be :
 The embrace and increase the international skills -
including language skills, cultural knowledge and
STEM
 Deepening or adding the school's own competence
in the specific matter (e.g. science)
 Preparation for the multicultural/intercultural
learning environment
 Understanding and absorbing the global
responsibility / global education

11. The international project (Finland and Japan)
Integrating geography, religion, english and Finnish by using ICT
 Both countries presented their
geographical location, the main
religion, culture and traditional
events.
 Students also wanted to know
how is the school in the other
country, so we presented our
school through video (Finnish
School day) which was made by
students.
 At the end we had skype lesson
and students talked with each
others.
