1. INS ESCOLA DEL TREBALL AND EUROPE: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
Our school has a long tradition in the development of European projects with Finland. Teachers from countries are used to work together and promote the exchange of Finnish and Spanish students. That is the reason why during the present academic year 2014-15, we decided to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries to promote future projects
2. MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:
The main aim of these six mobilities is to do the internship in a European country in the fields of Carpentry and Electricity.
Apart from this, students also should:

-raise their linguistic competence in a foreign language: English
-better their social skills in a new environment
-promote good understanding and fluent collaboration in the foreign enterprises
