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!

What Other teachers Are Saying

I would highly recommend this course to other teachers because - besides the well-chosen social activities-, the course contained a rich variety of methods, games, raps, songs and chants, which can immediately be used in the primary and secondary EFL classroom. It was a great experience.

It was a great week: brilliant course, brilliant organiser and brilliant isle of Cyprus with sandy beaches!
Thanks for everything!

The ERASMUS Course for Teachers of English in Taormina is well-organised, full of new ideas, methods and techniques and helps participants not only to improve their own speaking ability but also their social and cultural skills – it broadens ones mind!

I would like to thank Gerdy for the impeccable organisation. Personally, for me this was the perfect course, a combination of learning and summer holiday. Alan Marsh did a great job, his classes were extremely professional and I intend to use everything I learnt during the course in my classes.
I will definitely recommend the course to all my colleagues and will inform the National Agency in Hungary about the high quality courses organized by Carob Institute. If you are looking for a useful course combined with a breathtaking view to the bay and Mount Etna, and with the best of Sicilian cuisine then Taormina should be your next destination.
