For this project we will be examining national and European issues addressing the themes of entrepreneurship and employment opportunities available to young people in our respective countries. Classroom curricular based activities will be based around topics such how education prepares young people for working life in each country, job opportunities for young people and the economic impact of the EU in our local areas. Students will compare the lives of themselves and their communities and discover particular national traits and investigate differences and similarities. In school activities and visits will focus on the major businesses in the area and what jobs are available in the local area. Cooperation with the local business community and local vocational organizations is also a main part. The other element of the project will be about enterprise with students planning their own business model and visiting partner schools buying and selling products. This will allow students to engage with ideas, challenges and applications from the business world. They will be responsible for making decisions, being able to evaluate their own enterprise activities and motivates them to pursue a career. This will take place on the mobility visits involved in the project. Students involved in this project will be 11-19 and will be encouraged to take a key role in the organisation and dissemination of the project. Many of the activities will be ICT based and communication between staff and students of all the partner schools will take place regularly and students' work will be shared and disseminated in all partner schools and the wider community in Europe. Within the schools themselves we will progress towards creating a European perspective within the curriculum Staff members will be able to exchange best practices in implementing occupational guidance/training in the curricla. The whole project will furthermore raise awareness of our partner schools and the European Union in our local communities.
