The concept of the RBZ1 (Regionales Berufsbildungszentrum Soziales, Ernährung und Bau) includes European issues and especially the European professional training. Mutual understanding, communicating and collaborating across Europe is our offer for our pupils and our teaching staff. We collaborate with comparable educational institutions within Europe and worldwide in order to prevent limits for the future chances of our pupils. Due to intensive contact to the professional sector (especially to our dual partners and to cultural and sociopolitical institutions of our region) the RBZ1 contributes with this project to the active EU citizenship and a European consciousness. This mobility is for pupils who attend a vocational school and who are in training for joinery, carpentry and construction. The participating partner in England/Cambridge is the “Cambridge Regional College (CRC)”. The project (2014-1-DE02-KA102-0001949) had as a main goal the internationalization of vocational training, which was implemented by the participating schools in Kiel (RBZ1) and Cambridge (CRC). Basically the mobility deals with practical education for fifteen apprentices (construction sector) from the RBZ1 and fifteen apprentices (construction sector) from the CRC, who are taught together at the “Cambridge Regional College” for two and a half weeks in 2015 and 2016. In international pairs the apprentices have participated in language courses specified on their job field and they have participated together in education units, which lead to a competition. This competition dealt with all topics from preceding lessons from carpentry, joinery and masonry. In this competition the teams, which consisted of German and English apprentices in equal parts, had the task to create a wall construction design. The project-oriented lessons were accompanied by visits to construction companies, sawmills, builder´s merchants and the visit of construction sites in Cambridge, Ely, Watford and London. For the socio-cultural exchange the German and English apprentices met on different evenings or weekends in Cambridge or in their guest families. During the entire exchange the pupils were accompanied by a film team from the CRC, which was an additional shared project during this mobility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51nVT883yv8&feature=youtu.be The value of this mobility related to its goals was immense. Especially regarding the participating pupils, teachers, institutions and target group the following was achieved: The apprentices were given an insight in a foreign world of work and vocational school world, which enabled them to reflect on the dual education system in Germany. Because of the comparison of the different school systems and education contents the apprentices could realize differences and use these for their further education. Furthermore the participants of this mobility realized the advantages of the European single market, which means that the free movement of labour could be a realistic job perspective for them. Besides the improvement of language competences and social competences was another remarkable aspect. Concluding this mobility generated more acknowledgement and transparence of European certificates at companies of the region, because it was such a huge success for all participants. With this cooperation with our partners and the connected development of contents in vocational education, we have achieved the goal to get acknowledgment and transparency for the mentioned apprenticeships in other parts of the EU. In the medium term we will be glad, if we can increase significantly the number of pupils and teachers who decide to participate in an exchange program. The experiences abroad are supposed to improve the comprehension of other mentalities and other modes of operation and at the same time are supposed to bring new education methods into school life. The trips ought to be motivating in order to influence education processes in a positive way. Last but not least, our projects are supposed to contribute to increase the attractiveness of our school as “Europaschule/Europe school” and are supposed to intensify the contacts to the professional world and especially to our dual partners. This way we want to strengthen our position as a reliable partner in the region for life-long European learning.
