The programme comprises a work placement with the European partners. The target group are child care workers and nursery school teachers in VET (second year of education). The participants will be doing a six-week-internship integrated in accordance with their training and examination regulations with Paris (Créteil), Prague, Dublin, Brighton, Pevensey-Westham and London (Wandsworth and Croydon being the places of venue. The task-based main focus will be on acquiring and broadening skills and competences in the fields of language, culture and interculturality, nursery and child care as well as personal development and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, it is the aim of the project to enable the participants, by means of comparing the relevant pedagogical approaches, to get to know and learn about European educational concepts, in particular early childhood education. To that end, the participants will have the opportunity to compare both the concepts and the practical work in Germany and the European partners with a clear focus on educational and social backgrounds as well as pedagogical concepts and methodology. In that connection, the salient points are the challenge of early learning and inclusion. By intensifying adaptability, coooperation, linguistic competence, flexibility, ability to reflect, independence and generally broadening horizons, the participants will enhance their personal, interpersonal and professional skills. It has become characteristic of our school policy to implement European internships which have contributed immensely to the quality of our syllabus and pedagogical work. In order to achieve and substantiate those goals and targets, we are using ECVET elements to ensure quality under operational parameters. To that end, we are using evaluation sheets approved on 17 February 2014 by the national agency for ECVET (Ms Küßner) that are available in German and English. On the basis of these evaluation sheets we have - in collaboration with the national agency for ECVET - developed an ECVET-tool of our own which has been accepted by the national agency for ECVET (see attached). We are also planning to implement the relevant ECVET tools, like the learning agreement forms and the memorandum of understanding. The project will be running from the beginning of November to Mid-December 2014 and 2015. Tutors and mentors of the partner organisations and members of staff of Edith-Stein-Schule, Neunkirchen, will be responsible for all relevant project aspects, managing, monitoring and safeguarding.
