The partners of the consortium in the project „Working and Learning in Europe – a collaboration in the regional education system of Darmstadt-Dieburg“ are the Landrat-Gruber-Schule (LGS), the Martin-Behaim-Schule (MBS), the Heinrich-Emanuel-Merck-Schule (HEMS) and the Chamber of Commerce Darmstadt (IHK Darmstadt Rhein Main Neckar) as well as the Chamber of Crafts Frankfurt-Rhein-Main as a silent partner.The three schools have shown mutual interest in cooperating within the Erasmus+ programme as all of them have major experience and a number of collaborations in an international context. The aim of the consortium is to act as a regional provider and offer mobility opportunities for a wide range of students. Therefore the consortium involved the regional Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Crafts. Both chambers have a multitude of international contacts and will support the three schools with the organization of suitable placements. Through their strong regional position they will also act as a door opener to local companies. They will also support the schools with numerous marketing activities within their media channels. They will also be a point of contact for external students. These students will also get the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus+ programme of the consortium. Here the chambers will act as a middleman and establish contacts between the students and respective schools. The Chamber of Crafts will be offering intercultural trainings for all students taking part in the mobility project.Our objective for the project is to enlarge the impact of the European learning place cooperation and its influence in the educational system of the region of Darmstadt-Dieburg.
