The Carob Institute - Empowering Teachers
The Carob Institute – Empowering Teachers continues what successfully began under the Grundschule Dresselndorf. The primary school gained experience in many different lifelong learning programmes, such as conducting Comenius school projects, inviting Comenius school assistants, taking part in study visits and in-service training courses. The school also acquired know-how in teaching CLIL lessons for several years and networking with schools from abroad has finally led to setting up the Carob Institute to offer teacher development courses.

As the headmistress of the Grundschule Dresselndorf, I organised ERASMUS+ courses - and former Comenius courses - for seven years.
I've now set up my own institute to provide ERASMUS+ courses:

Why Carob Institute?
Taormina, Sicily, is the origin of our courses. The carob tree (Ceratonia Siliqua) is the national tree of Sicily. It's common belief, that in ancient times the Arabs used the little seeds to weigh their gold, as each seed is exactly 1,8 grams which means 1 Karat (comes from Ceratonia).

Isn't this a lovely story?
We hope the seeds sown in the courses will turn out to be golden ideas for your daily work at school! |
