Two aspects have triggered the idea of this project. BHAK/BHAS Perg has successfully been using CLIL in a siginificant range of subjects for many years. Apart from that it is common use that the students of our fourth forms spend one week in a European country the language of which they learn and they are supposed to work for the same period of time in an Austrian company to gain professional experience, The combination of both parameters und their tranfer to a European level activity is the basic concept of the project. The fact that the students stay at hostfamilies and simultaneously work in companies pave the way for a continuous improvement process for the individual ranging from an increase of language competence, socio-economic competence to intercultural competence. The utmost essential cause is, yeat, entrepreneurship education. What we consider especially relevant is the documentation of the project in portfolios by the students and the evaluation of the companies and support by specifically trained teachers on site. The objective of the project entitled International internships - an integral part of entrepreneurship education" is an increase in quality and ideally sustainability of the competencies mentioned above. The benefit for our school is on the one hand the creation of a USP, not ony on a local level. On the other hand a boost in motivation for our students as they are granted the one-off chance to gain professional experience in an international context. A long-term goal is the creation of cooperations with companies providing internships for our students.
