Education reimagined. Daily life transformed. Future ready

 

SCHOFU is a framework born from the collaboration of 108 High School Nikola Belovezhdov Sofia and 4th Primary School John Atanasoff Sofia, together with ICDET as coordinator.


It transforms the traditional school environment by integrating Erasmus+ activities, international exchanges, and innovative practices into the daily life of schools.

​

Here, learning goes beyond classrooms — the entire school becomes a living laboratory: buildings, yards, labs, and digital platforms all contribute to creating a future-ready ecosystem where teaching and learning are smoother, more attractive, and results-oriented.

At the heart of SCHOFU lies THE SP@CE+, an innovative ecosystem connecting schools, universities, and companies.

​

THE SP@CE+ – An Innovative Ecosystem vision for the future

 

A world where education and industry work hand-in-hand, producing individuals who are not just knowledgeable, but also adaptable, creative, and employable.

 

Benefits for Stakeholders

  • Schools: Access to industry resources, visibility, and partnerships.

  • Universities: Stronger collaboration with companies, improved employability of graduates.

  • Companies: A pipeline of future-ready talent and innovative student-led solutions.

  • Students: Hands-on experience, international exposure, mentoring, and employability boost.

​

A Framework Beyond Time and Place

​​

SCHOFU works with no time or place limitations. Learning, innovation, and collaboration extend beyond classrooms, schedules, and even borders. The framework turns the school into a living, breathing ecosystem, designed by and for the people inside it — students, teachers, and partners.

 

At the heart of this transformation stands THE SP@CE STATION – Future Forge: A dynamic STEM environment where all students and teachers co-create the ecosystem together. It’s not just a lab, but a collaborative habitat of innovation — a place where disciplines merge, projects thrive, and education meets real-world practice.

​

Collaboration Without Limits

  • Different vocational sectors — from medicine to robotics, from design to aerospace — interact and co-create solutions.

  • Every professional path finds a place inside this ecosystem.

  • Students and teachers don’t just “use” the lab — they co-build and evolve it continuously.
