The project deals with the subject "intercultural competence in vocational training" from a transnational perspective. It is based on a partnership of 10 partners from 8 countries that has emerged from a transnational project in Brandenburg about mobility, opennes and tolerance on the European labour market. In this project a framework for teaching intercultural competences in vocational training (in German and English) was developed which is made for additional lessons and training in vocational schools and for companies in the Dual System. The concept is not yet tested in practice and not very well prepared for the use in different countries. Intercultural competences are getting more and more important due to the increasing internationalization of the economy, the integration of the European labor market and the resulting mobility of workers also on the level of technical and executive work. Not all of the vocational training systems in the different European countries are well prepared to this challenge the focus in this area up to now was far closer to academics and management executives. The project partners are vocational schools, training organisations, teacher/trainer associations, Chamber of Commerce from Germany, Austria, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Portugal, Czech Republik and Romania who have a vast experience in creating and designing new teaching approaches, learning units and innovatiev methods of teaching. The objective of the project is to test existing and newly created learning modules for teaching intercultural competences as additional units in vocational training and to make them available for other vocational schools and stakeholders in vocational training. The following activities are planned: 1. Analysis and evaluation of the existing learning moduls for teaching intercultural competences in vocational training 2. Elaboration of a cultural profile for each participating country as a common knowledge base for using the learning modules 3. Adaption and change of the learning modules 4. Design of new learning moduels were gaps and needs are identified 5. Test of the learning modules by an exchange of a teacher/student group (Blended mobility of VET Learners) between the partner organisations 6. Evaluation of the exchange activities and the testing phases 7.Development of E-Learning contents 8. Monitoring and evaluation of the prject activitie in order to prepare a certificate issued by a Chamber of Commerce for the completion of the learning modules. The core activity and central methodology is an exchange of teachers and students between the partner organisations and partner countries to test the learning modules in an intercutural context. A study group of 1 teacher and 2 students will go for a short time teaching and study period of 7 days to a partner country. So each study group will create an intercultural setting at the hosting organisation which allows to apply and test the learning modules under “real intercultural conditions”. The intercultural encounter in the classroom/laboratory makes the content of teaching illustrative and allows a lot of practical experience and understanding of the teaching mateial. Contents of intercultural teaching like stereotypes, other traditions, food, religion or everyday life can be directly experienced, scrutinized and discussed from both sides. During the stay other teacher of the hosting organisation will hospitate at the teaching units and such participate and learn to apply the teaching materials. One of the results will be the creation of E-Learning contents on a "moodle" platform with free access in connection with the project website where all project materials will be uploaded, including additional pedagogic input . A chamber certification for the course is planned. The general result of the project will be the availability of a set of applicable and tested learning modules to teach intercultural competences in vocational training. It will improve the quality of vocational training and enable teachers at vocational schools and instructors in vocational training to use and firther develop these materials.
