In the IMPAECT Project (DE/10/LLP-LdV/TOI/147303/ 2010-1-DE2-LEO05-05422), a teaching unit on intercultural learning was elaborated in cooperation with our European partner institutions. In the following project ILECE (DE/12/LLP-LdV/IVT/284546) and in the current project DICECE (2014-1-DE02-KA102-000435), this unit was then put into practice with success.With this application we aim to further develop and strengthen the cooperation with our European partners involved in the project on “Intercultural Learning”, based on the teaching unit. The learning outcomes will be assessed by the hosting partner institutions.The implementation of the project is based on ECVET principles and tools (Memorandum of Understanding, Work placement Profile, Institutional Agreement, Gothenburg Quality Agreement, Assessment of Learning Outcomes) and on the Europass documents (Europass Mobility Certificate, Europass CV with integrated Language Passport,).In this project are involved learning institutions which train paedagogical staff for childcare institutions, and providers of child care institutions from several European countries (Finland, The Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom and Hungary).During their stay abroad the students of Fachakademie für Sozialpädagogik Kempten will get to know and will have to deal with different approaches of intercultural education in their host countries. They will experience themselves in another cultural environment and will finally have to reflect on theory, practice and their own experience in the host country.It will promote their understanding for intercultural education and improve their professional skills and competences in this field. Furthermore this experience will promote their awareness and open-mindedness about linguistic diversity in Europe and it will train their language and communication skills.All of our students have already completed a first vocational training, which is an entrance requirement for the education as an early childhood teacher. Usually, the students have finished the two years' vocational training as a state-certified child care / nursery school assistant which is offered at Fachakademie as well.The students’ learning experience abroad will be fully recognized by the sending institution as practical work experience required by the study programme. The project will be carried out between September 2016 and August 2018.17 staff members will take part in different continuing education measures. The objective is on the one hand to make them more proficient in foreign languages; on the other hand we aim to strengthen existing cooperation with partner institutions and to establish new partnerships in order to enhance the international orientation of our learning institution. The principle of “learning together and from each other”shall be applied in practice by discovering new pedagogical appraoches and methods in early childhood education used across Europe.Moreover, by exchanging within an international group of learners, diversity can be experienced as extremely valuable.Each staff mobility activity will be acknowledged as a “further education measure” by the sending institution and the learning experiences and outcomes will be shared and evaluated with the colleagues.Staff mobility will take place between September 2016 and August 2018.
