The European Chain Reaction 2026: Latvia

Belgium

Qworzó is an elementary school in a small village called Merksplas which lays about 70 km north of Brussels. We speak Dutch like they do in the Netherlands, since our school is located in Flanders. Since there are a lot of people in Belgium who speak French we also learn French in school. Our school teaches about 400 children aged 3,5 – 12 years. We hope the 15th anniversary of the project "The European Chain Reaction" brings a lot of joy to all participating teams! We look forward to it very much! Want more info?

Spain

CEIP CÉSAR MANRIQUE CABRERA CEIP is a Pre-school and Primary education school located in Lanzarote, the northernmost and easternmost of the Canary Islands. Our educational proposal is articulated in 7 axes: personal harmony, cultural development, respect for nature, sustainable development, art and creation of beauty, “canary traditions” and universality. All of them in connection with the legacy and spirit of the most important artist borned in our island which gives his name to our school. We are immersed in many Programs and Projects which aim to create better educational experiences for learning. Some of them are networks like “School garden”, “Timple (traditional musical instrument) learning” or “AICLE Project”, where the area of Art has been chosen for linguistic immersion. Talking about projects, it is needed to highlight the importance of our “Trail network", awarded with the prize “Initiatives in Heritage Education in the Canary Islands” at regional level. We have designed trails that start and arrive at the school for each educational level, with Activities and proposals for before, during and after the trails, making them a fundamental basis for developing students' competences. The School building was designed in a peculiar way, very close to the typical design of the island houses, what means there is a big distance between classes. All of our pupils and teachers are really excited about participating in The European Chain Reaction this year, and our first challenge will be thinking about how to plan a chain that connects all of us. Will we be able to do it? Let's go for it! If you click on the school picture, you'll come to our web site!

Slovenia

Our school lies in Preska, a village not so far away from Slovenia's capital Ljubljana. It consists of two parts: the old and the new one. In the old part we have classrooms for art classes, history and craft, a dining room and a kitchen. We also have a very friendly chef, which will always make you laugh. In the new, bigger part, there are classrooms for Science (Chemistry and Physics), Math, Slovene, English, Music, Biology, Geography and a computer classroom. There are also two gyms and a library with over 14,000 books. Primary school Preska is visited by students from villages Preska, Golo Brdo, Studenčice, Goričane, Sora and Dol.

Cyprus

The First Primary School of Xylotymvou, located in the Larnaca district of Cyprus, is a small but warm and dynamic school community that currently serves 121 students aged 6 to 12. Housed in a beautifully preserved 102-year-old building, the school blends historical charm with modern educational facilities. Over the years, the campus has expanded thoughtfully: one new wing was added in 1957, another later in the century, and a more recent extension was completed around 2010. In 2021, the school proudly inaugurated a modern multipurpose hall used for school celebrations, performances, and community events. With eight main classrooms and a range of specialised learning spaces—including a Music Room, an Art Studio, a Design & Technology Lab, a Home Economics Room, and a Science Lab—the school offers students rich opportunities for creativity, hands-on learning, and practical skill development. Our school participates in the national programme PROTHESY, which enhances student support, promotes inclusion, and strengthens collaboration between the school, families, and the local community. Through this programme, we focus on personalised learning, early intervention, and ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive. We also embrace modern pedagogical practices, digital education, and European initiatives such as Erasmus+ and eTwinning. These experiences help students build critical thinking, creativity, cultural understanding, and a strong sense of global citizenship. Guided by a dedicated and caring teaching staff, the First Primary School of Xylotymvou remains committed to nurturing confident, responsible, and compassionate learners who are well-prepared for academic, social, and emotional success.

Latvia

Latvia Voorbeeld Pāle Primary School is situated in a small rural village with about 700 inhabitants, in the northern part of Latvia 22 km from the Baltic Sea. There are 70 students (7-16 years old) in the primary school level, 32 children in the preschool group, 19 teachers and 8 technical workers. The school was built in 1936. About 20 students have learning difficulties and some students are at a risk of social exclusion. For that reason we are realizing not only the general education programme, but also the programme for students with the learning difficulties. Every year our students participate in regional Olympiads of school subjects, different projects, sports, music and art competitions, showing good results. Click on the picture and visit us!
