Palacký University in Olomouc is the second biggest university in the Czech Republic. The Faculty of Education trains the future teachers and other professionals involved in education.  The full compatibility within the EU is enabled by using the all-EU European Credit Transfer System and also by awarding internationally valid diplomas.  The faculty comprises 16 departments and centres, which participate in a wide range of scientific projects. The Department of English trains teachers of English for lower-secondary schools and teachers of English for primary schools. The department is responsible for pre-service training including BA (bachelor) and MA (magister) and doctoral degree programmes.

The staff consists of fully qualified teachers, who employ the most up-to-day teaching methods and technologies. We also organize the practical training for future teachers in primary and lower-secondary schools. As we have close links with schools we are in a unique position to encourage the schools to participate in this project.  We will enlist the help of a teacher who had ICT expertise and who acted as ICT administrator in our Roots and Wings network to help with ICT training in situ.
