Europe We Come
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Translation The more Europe is assimilating, politically as well as socially, the more our young people will be working in foreign countries. Mobility of labor will not only be necessary in their home countries but also transnational. To know about the specific demands of working in a European country is the foremost task, apart from speaking the language. Companies that send their apprentices abroad to get trained do already exist. Our project conveys an insight into: ° The different structures of the job market. ° The various methods of working. ° Site-specific jobs. ° The tasks of regionally working politicians in countries of the European Union. ° The different ways of life of young people of the same age. The project encourages young people and adults to reflect their personal lifestyles and their ability to adapt to new and different working and living conditions. Education and training abroad might be something they aspire to do. Participants of our transnational meetings: o 200 students (aged about 14 - 17 years) o 35 teachers Our project should enable young people to maybe think about finding a job abroad. But that requires getting to know and to learn about cultural and geographical facts in advance. That is what we are planning to do in our transnational teaching and learning activities. The following transnational meetings are planned: o three meetings of all teachers to get to know and fix the project; to create a brochure; to evaluate and discuss a new common project o four Project meetings with students and teachers (working on the project ) Students, also those who are not taking part, will get an impression of the foreign country by giving them audio-visual information about the given tasks. The teachers will help the students in finding local firms that offer factory tours to learn about the different jobs. They keep records of the results via photographs and written reports. At the same time they learn about nature and culture of the country by visiting families and going on sightseeing tours. Expected results and impacts: - Geographical, cultural, economic knowledge about the partner countries - Awareness of Lifelong Learning is essential especially nowadays - contact to peer groups in Europe on digital Media e. g. Facebook, Skype, whatsapp, ...) brings a rapid exchange of new developments and living situations - Developing an awareness and willingness for the mobility in an integrating Europe in education, training and vocation - Improvement of personal skills (e. g. initiative, purposefulness and flexibility.) - Cross-cultural openness that also preserves their own cultural identity - Better chances in future professional life - Contribution to a peaceful coexistence - Awareness of a multicultural citizen - Lifelong Learning - improvement of language skills (employee, staff) - Increased employees' self-initiative as a key competence - Establishment of European contacts beyond the school project - maybe European cooperation of firms The sustainability of results: - other schools in the field of the project partners can benefit from the experience by seeking similar projects or use the results in their teaching - local firms benefit from the higher qualification which is possible as a result of the international commitment of the school. - using the example of the project, local public will be informed about interesting progresses at an European level (leaflet) - students with good school-leaving qualifications will become well qualified employees - Weak students are motivated to leave school with a good qualification - local firms become more competitive and strengthen their respective regions - Presence of the participating schools by publications and project präsentations The project is an example for succsessful cooperation in Europe. It enlarges already existing European cooperations of vocational education, like the „German-Turkish Year of Science 2014“.
