Keravan lukio has several Erasmus+ cooperation projects underway. Our partner countries this academic year are France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Belgium. However, every year is a new Erasmus+ year, and new projects and partnerships are in the pipeline all the time.

Ongoing projects and partners for the academic year 2025 – 2026

  • In the 2025–26 academic year, a science-related co-operation project will be implemented with the French high school Lycée Aristide Briand. This school is located in Gap, in the south-east of France, in the French Alps. The project’s theme is astronomy and exoplanets.

  • In May 2025, ten students and two teachers from Kerava Upper Secondary School spent a week in Viareggio getting to know the Italian school, culture and way of life, and at the end of October 2025 we will welcome a group of Italian students and teachers to Kerava.

  • We are starting an Erasmus+ long term student exchange programme with a Belgian high school in Namur. The long-term exchange will last for at least one period (6-8 weeks) and will offer students a unique opportunity to study in a Belgian school, develop language skills, learn in a multicultural environment and gain valuable life experience abroad.

    The exchange programme includes school work, joint projects with local students and exposure to Belgian culture through everyday life. The exchange is particularly suitable for students who are motivated to work independently and cooperate internationally.
    The exchange in Belgium is open to 2 students. The exchange is reciprocal and accommodation will be offered in host families.

    Cooperation schools for Erasmus+ long-term exchanges are also available in other countries. If you are interested in a longer exchange period, please contact the Erasmus+ coordinator.

  • Cooperation with the Gymnasium auf der Karthause in Koblenz continues also this year with short-term individual exchange of 2 weks. The focus of the exchange will be on supporting German language learning and getting to know German education, culture and lifestyle. The exchange is particularly suitable for German students, but as the school also offers teaching in English, German language skills are not necessary.

    Three students from Koblenz will come to Kerava for a two-week exchange in January 2026 and three students from Kerava will live and study in Koblenz in the spring semester 2026. The exchange is reciprocal and the students will stay with each other’s families.
