Partipiciants in our Project "Brigit-Compass II" can make their first steps abroad while they arte still in their vocational studies. They begin as a group of at least 10 students with a 1-week intensive and practical speech-course in Birmingham. After that they separate to their guest-families and take part in a 3-week apprenticeship with work-shadowing in local factories, enterprises or public organisations in or around Brum. They have to manage their working-day and their freetime on their own and take part in their guestfamily's and work-mate's social life. Even on weekends every minute will be full of activity: London and maybe a soccer-game are a "must" in England, shopping, pub-crawling and making friends, too. The target behind these activities is to overcome the natural speeking-bareer in the head and to navigate savely in a foreign environment with unusual weights, measurements, even other money than what the partipiciants know from their home. So the effect of the project will be, that young people, our next generation, will get empathy for europe with all its commons and diversions. They hopefully will see their personal chances in this great European Community and get the profits of this Union for their own careers on job, learning and living. Maybe - or better - for sure this is the way to keep Europe closer together and every participant can see more the chances of our European Community than the misfits.
