The objective of joint school subjects study is the creation of a model that will incorporate basic principles of typical for Europe educational process. We started cooperation with two countries: Austria – Vienna First Bilingual School and Germany – Friedrich Ebert Gymnasium in Bonn. In 2007 teachers from FEG were invited to Sch. 155. We defined chemistry as the starting subject for the schools' initiative. The basic principles of teaching were defined also. English was chosen to be the common language of teaching. During next meetings, both schools developed the unique synchronized plan for teaching. Teachers of both schools chose common teaching resources.  The first joint curricula planning in Bonn. );) Provisions for the sustainable students' communication of both countries on the learned themes via I-net was the next acute issue. A special I-net resource (UNITED ED SPACE) was created for the purpose. Students exchange their learning assignments and the results of their experimental work through I-net. They jointly prepare material for the international research conferences in Kyiv and in Bonn.  Letters on chemistry lessons to partners in Bonn. );) Digital technology was decisive means for reaching success in the project. Video-"bridges" and video-conferences allowed students of both countries quickly and effectively exchange their opinions and findings.
