The project Building Bridges was an Erasmus+ KA102 project - Mobility of learners and staff, that lasted between 01/09/2014 and 30/08/2016. The Upper Secondary and Adult Education of the City of Västerås, Sweden, was the coordinator of a consortium consisting of five of the schools/VET providers that belong to the organisation. The consortium is led by the organisations EU-coordinator and representatives from the different partner schools have met formaly once a year and in-between in different constellations according to needs. The project is supported by a common accountant unit. Since the members of the consortium belong to the same overall organisation there is a continuous collaboration between teachers and headmasters in a number of different contexts. Some of the schools have also helped each other in taking care of students and teachers that have carried out mobilities in Västerås. The receiving partner organisations are different institutions of education in Europe. There were initially six partner organisations, but two more were added during the project, in particular due to the fact that collaboration with one of the initial partners (in Poland) did not work out as expected. The three student who started their internship ended it after a few days. The two new organisations are Spanish, one has recieved students from the hotel and restaurant sector and the other from electricity/installation. 67 student mobilities have been completed out of 74 and 13 teacher mobilities out of 14. The seven student mobilities, that have not been carried out, are students from the hotel and restaurant sector, that mostly should have been carried out with their Polish partner. Cooperation with the remaining partner institutions has worked very well, and the placements have all been of high quality, some of the schools offer in-house placements that have also been of high quality. All teachers that have participated in job-shadowing activities have been well recieved and the exchanges have been well planned and carried out. The consortium has received students and/or teachers from four of the partner institutions and one of the other institutions has been granted means for the coming year. Two of the partners have become partners to one of the consortium members in a Erasmus+ strategic partnership, starting September 2016. The consortium with the seven partner organisations, plus a school in Lithuania, has also been granted means for a new Erasmus+ mobility school project for the period 2016-2018. The students who participated have been approved and assessed according to the criteria of the Swedish curriculum, based on the learning agreements made between the students and the sending and hosting partner organisations. They have developed both their knowledge and their skills, as well as socially and personally. They have become more independent and have created contacts in the countries in which they completed their vocational training. All of them have obtained a personal professional net-work in their field, in another EU country, and have thus strengthened their opportunities for future employment and developed their identity as EU-citizens, some have even been offered employment. They have also improved their knowledge of English and some also of another language (French or Spanish). Students in schools that have hosted exchanges from have even more enhanced their knowledge and have strengthened their relations to young people with a different culture within the EU. Participating teachers have enhanced their expertise and influence in their respective professional areas, and have been able to incorporate their new competences into their own teaching, as well as sharing their knowledge in their respective schools and thereby contributing to school development. The experience has also led to personal development, language training and deeper relations with the host schools / institutes. In addition to having acquired knowledge of alternative teaching methods, the majority were also given the opportunity to gain insight in how schools in other countries are working towards, and in partnership with industry to make the students as employable as possible. Those who received students have also created new business contacts at home in connection with that. The objectives of the Project were partly to enhance the cooperation between the consortium and partner organisations, between the schools and industry/business, and partly to establish qualified placements for vocational training for students and job-shadowing possibilities for teachers in other parts of the European Union. The project has, to conclude, thus overall obtained its objectives, apart from the seven student mobilities, and a teacher mobility, that have not been carried out due to the break-down of the cooperation with one of the partner organisations. All mobilities could not be carried out in spite of the recruitment of a replacing partner.
