Principles of Cooperation
When working together with partner schools, Siemens primarily implements both, standardized activities and individual projects. A school interested in becoming a partner school should have a strong commitment to excellence in mathematical, scientific and technological subjects, modern languages and/or music and art. In addition, the school should provide students with a solid grounding in economic and technological subjects and be enthusiastic about implementing joint projects. The application of modern, up-to-date educational methods is also important - as is the organization of workshops, participation in internal and external competitions, and support for school Olympics, student internships and study groups.
For Siemens, school partnerships have always meant binding, effective, joint, long-term activities that develop and nurture knowledge-oriented dialogue between our company and the schools we work with. Our school partnerships should aim to ensure that classroom instruction provides students with scientific, mathematical and technological expertise, key qualifications, business know-how and the practical skills they will need in the workplace.
In short, the perfect partner school
- supports education in mathematics, the sciences and technology
- engages in a long-term cooperation
- guarantees an organized exchange of information
- understands the partnership as mutual commitment
- does not focus primarily on material and financial goals.
