"Life is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page" (St. Augustine)Our school's, the Freising Vocational College, key objective of our participation in the Erasmus+ programme is to enable our (still rather) young students as well as our teachers to improve and further develop their intercultural competencies, to increase their transnational mobility within Europe and to improve their professional language skills in Great Britain, thus gaining knowledge of the technical or specialised English required in their professional fields. One of our main concerns is not only to increase our participants’ knowledge, but also to grant them the opportunity to widen their experience so that they will be able "to see the bigger picture" and "think outside the box". We are planning to provide work placements for 40 students who are training to become office management assistants, industrial business management assistants, or management assistants in freight forwarding and logistics. The work placements are to be carried out in two flows. During their stay in England, our students are to participate in a three-day language course with emphasis on language for specific vocational purposes followed up by a two-week internship in St Albans and its environs. Through their participation in the Erasmus+ traineeship programme, the students will be well prepared for the challenges within an international labour market, thereby significantly improving their employment perspectives.Furthermore, it is our goal to establish the Erasmus+ KA1-Mobility at our vocational college to support and develop the internationalisation of our teaching staff (VET Mobility Charter). A one-week internship abroad will provide four teachers with a unique and hands-on experience of internal procedures within British companies, thus expanding their knowledge and professionalism decisively. As a modern educational institution, we are striving to implement future-oriented approaches to education and training by which our students can benefit from a continuously renewed academic knowledge gained by looking beyond the horizon of our classrooms. In addition, we particularly wish to qualify for a long-term institutionalisation enabling us to embed transnational mobility at our vocational college.
