Life in modern society has been marked by increasing complexity and haste. We are witnessing such an accelerated development in technical fields that if we want to keep up with these changes, we will have to constantly renew our knowledge and competence.

Globalisation has a special impact on education and work, thus making knowledge and experience in international business more and more important.

It is our school´s goal to familiarise students and trainees with international work and actions, giving them the opportunity to get to know cultural and professional differences and common ground within European business and countries.

Moreover, it is not enough to take lessons about Europe and international business, it is further necessary to meet people in other countries to keep peace, overcome prejudices against foreign people and countries, and build up a sense of community.

The students taking part in international projects are members of different training programmes. Some of them attend full-time training programmes, others part-time training programmes/vocational training. By taking part in international projects, the Hanse-Schule helps students to think outside the box and improve their job chances with companies in international business and within Europe.

The European Union, supporting the idea of lifelong learning, allocated funds to increase the level of education under different programmes, such as Erasmus plus and INTERREG. The Hanse-Schule continuosly applies for these funds to enable students to take part in international projects.
