Markus Bernsau, 45

As a head teacher at Secondary Level I, I am committed to the future of my school every day. Taking part in a Study Visit to Lisbon entitled “School leaders as actors for improvement” gave me the opportunity to see my job from another perspective for five days. It was great to find out how people teach and learn in other countries. Despite the differences in school systems, we had many common issues, which made for interesting discussions and presentations. With representatives of 15 European countries, I was able to broaden both my knowledge of school leadership and my repertoire of ideas. These new perspectives and contacts will be of great benefit down the line.
