Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our institution is located in an inner area of great natural beauty. Its economic activities are industry and services. Our therapeutic waters and proximity to the sea and to cities such as Barcelona and Girona, make us a very attractive place. Our school was founded in 1990 and since then we have had a wide variety of studies, which include ESO (4 years of obligatory education), baccalaureate (with 3 specialisations, namely science and technology, humanities and social science) as well as different vocational training courses: _ Intermediate level: Office Management, Social Care and Electrical and automatic installations. _ Higher level: Child Care, Administration and Finance. Our values: Respect, tolerance and solidarity are of special importance in our school. We also promote dialogue and mediation processes in our society. Moreover we defend the culture of peace, human rights, gender equality, democratic participation, social inequalities compensation and critical thinking. We are committed to our language and our culture. Secular, pluralistic and multicultural (we teach in Catalan, Spanish, English and French). We like to innovate in education and technology. We respect and contribute to the preservation of the environment. Background: First experiences: - Student mobility for studies in Samatan (France).Electrical and automatic installations. Year 2009.

Program of development of global learning communities. - Participation in E-Twinning. In association with College François of Belleforest. Secondary education. Year 2014. After requesting and obtaining ECHE we wished to go forward with Erasmus+ program. We consider necessary to develop projects and activities within the European framework. Internationalizing meant to enrich and modernize our educational experience, that of our students and by extension of our community. This interest went on to become one of our lines of work. Our target was raising skill levels, improving the quality and prestige of our vocational training courses and by extension the rest of our studies. We extended our proposals with the two traineeship mobilities obtained. The proposal consisted of a stay of two months during the school year, in an European company to carry out traineeship of Child care. After its publication among students who were interested, we selected two students who showed the best professional, personal and social skills as well as knowledge of languages. Personal, family and social factors were taken into account and those aspects contrary to equality of opportunities or discriminatory were rejected. Finally our mobilities were: - One mobility for traineeships in Perpignan (France) in a school. - One mobility for traineeships in Pistoia (Italy) in a nursery school. During the stay students carried out activities related to the design of intervention, the organization of planning documents, coordination among professionals, assessment, care of basic needs, integral development (especially expression-communication), the organization and implementation of leisure activities. Although we have not achieved all our objectives, particularly those related to research and funding, we think that with all these actions we have advanced in quality, qualification, cooperation, prestige, bonds, organization and attractiveness. The impact experienced in our institution and our environment can increase and improve in the future. We are building a project that has the ambition of improving and continuing to grow as a part of an increasingly plural Europe.
