The applied-for mobility-project AFEM is meant for a group of selected vocational students in forestry, learning at the “Lehranstalt für Forstwirtschaft (LAF)”, which is the vocational school and training center of the forestry department of the chamber of agriculture Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. In the frame of an international exchange time at Sweden, the project shall open the possibility for the participants to reach deeper and additional knowledge and competences for their profession, to proove it, to collect experiences in a foreign country, and to improve their linguistic competence in English, all these referred to the EQF. The project is based on long-term existing school-contacts and –partnerships between the “LAF” and two Swedish forestry-schools, the “Plönningegymnasiet”(since 2001) and the “Naturbruksgymnasiet Svenljunga” (since 2008). Both Plönninge and Svenljunga successfully realized a couple of international EU-education-projects, partly together with the “LAF”, and they work together with other partners in Sweden with a high technical competence. The projectlanguage is English. By means of an education period in Sweden as one of the „motherlands of forestry“, the German dual vocational education in forestry shall get an even higher quality and become more attractive for the participants. Also the personal development of the students shall be supported by their international experience. And the project will influence the linguistic, scientific, learning, social and intercultural competence of the participants in a very positive way, as well as their entrepreneurship and proactivity. The sectorial needs of forestry for workers and entrepreneurs with a wide knowledge, skill and experience up to the field of big forestry-machinery will be covered by the project contents. Bi-lingual forest workers can realize their profession across the borders all over Europe, so they have much better possibilities both on the German and on the European work market. This shall be an important additional chance for the further life of the participants. It is planned to send six vocational students for seven weeks in March till Maj 2015 to the school Svenljunga. There the participant will learn important basics of modern work in forestry, language knowledge as well as the economic and social-cultural reality in Sweden. Therefore they take part in a special course for working with modern big forestry machines, innovative working in the forest, different visits, guiding and additional learning units. All planned learning units and their outcome-oriented learning results are fixed in an ECVET-learning-agreement, negotiated between and written down by the German and Swedish partners. The special knowledge and competences, acquired through the project learning units, and the international experience will lead to an additional value of vocational education. This will strengthen the individual employment situation and mobility in the European forestry and it will give an additional value for the character of the participants: They will be more self-confident, more competitive and in better start-position for their lives. The qualification will be documented and fixed for the participants within the EUROPASS Mobility and by a certificate regarding the forest-machinery-course, offered by the host organization Svenljunga. Besides that, the participants can build up contacts through the project and they can find new long-term perspectives for work. Thus AFEM contributes to a modern vocational education in forestry aimed at a European future. It shows connections in one special part of the learning system in two different countries, it has a big meaning in the economically difficult agricultural sector and it supports the teachers who take part in the project. The essential further development of AFEM in comparison with the projects FEM-PS, FEM-PS2 and FELT-PS (2006 – 2011) is the consistent use of the ECVET-tools: The partners identified learning outcomes within the project contents, they developed and fixed together the learning units and they formulated and agreed on a learning agreement. Thereby they referred to the EQF-descriptors and aimed at an evaluation of the reached learning-outcome as complete as possible. The learning agreement is part of the basic-application in 2011. This was practically tried at Plönninge in the years 2012 and 2013 and it shall be tried out again at another school, at Svenljunga 2014 and 2015. The next step could be a survey and a trial, how the results from AFEM can be integrated into the formal vocational education system both in Sweden and in Germany, as some kind of “credits” or in another way.
