The project allows interested pupils of the fashion school in Graz, regardless of their language skills, to spend individually organized internship abroad during the (extended) school holidays and immediately after graduation. As it aims to interlink intensivey language and culture, fahion and the European idea, Europe and the foreign languages are enbedded into the professional training at school. The work placements are recognised as the comoulsory internships required in this school type and will be documented in the Europass. The internschip providers are first rate European apparel companies and European fashion designers. At the same time the pupils expand their personal horizon considerably as they learn to appreciate the opportunities offered by the EU, to find their way through EU administratin to get in touch with potential employers, and to train their organizatinal skills. Learning a language and acquiring professional skills go beyond the school environment. In return, the school benefits from the companies' feedback which allows the adjustment of the school education. Since 2004 the financial sponsorchip of the internships by the EU-Programme Erasmus+ has been enabling pupils to experience fahion on a European level during the (extended) school holidays. The European idea and another language and its culture are incorporated into the professional training as the receiving cmpaniers are quality representatives of the European apparel industry and include young fashion desingners, stylists, organizers of fashion shows or costume makers - the full range of the rashion industry. For the duration of a year the pupils are accompanied before, durring and after the internschip. The internship themselves last generally from six weeks to three month , with some of them even longer, and take place in countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Enland, Spain, Norway and Sweden. The interns are alone or in pairs in the companies. The project is in 8th year. The preparation is supported by a series of lectures and discussions under the title The World is your Catwalk where the international fahion world is explained to the pupils from the point of view of designers, apparel experts, company representatives an huma resource executives, all with experience in occupational mobility. The project was already evaluated externally and was awarded a prize as innivative language project (SPIN), is recognised as project for individualisation and promotion of gifted students, and was nominated twice by the national agency for the LLL-Award which it received in 2013.
