A new database of use to teachers who want to get involved in the European schools programmes offered by Leargas - The Exchange Bureau has just been launched on the Internet. Called Partbase, it's available at http// partbase.eupro.se. It has information on schools across Europe, including the size, location and type of school as well as what subjects are taught and the type of project that is being considered by that particular school.

Irish schools who want to be included and possibly matched with a counterpart somewhere in Europe can register information about their own institution and the project they want to undertake via Partbase.

For information contact Emer Malone, at Leargas - The Exchange Bureau, 189193 Parnell Street, Dublin 1 - phone (01) 873 1411 or fax (01) 873 1316.
