MEETING, the new Erasmus + project ROC Mondriaan, is the follow-up of project MEE. MEETING stands for Mondrian European Experience Three, International Natural Gathering: to meet, to come together, to learn from each other. MEETING has expanded the number of mobilities, and more importantly, more schools are connected. Internationalization is a priority at ROC Mondriaan!ROC Mondriaan (1.950 employees) is the VET Institution in the The Hague region which offers vocational and adult education to approximately 21.000 students. It promotes employment and/or social participation of its students. Mondrian has written its internationalization program in the policy document "Mondrian local as well as global". The policy consists of three main parts: 1. The Hague International City, 2. International orientation of schools, including the overseas internships and 3. Exchange programs. The strategic ambitions 2016 - 2019 of our institute include explicitly an international orientation as well; the themes "Improvement of education quality" and "Promoting/encouraging innovation and global citizenship" have both an international perspective.In this project, Mondriaan wants to stimulate individual experience abroad and embed international activities in the organization. Our overall objectives are:- to develop international competencies- to broaden horizons and prospects- personal development- to improve foreign languages- to gain inspiration, motivation and knowledge by staffThe mobilitiesCare and Welfare / Estonia 20 students BBLIn Estonia our partners demand a possible solution on a specific case.

They will acquire knowledge, visit schools and exchange experiences with colleagues. The program of all individual training / study trips is compiled based on the learning needs of the employee and / or training.All participants will have an unforgettable experience: an experience abroad deepens knowledge and provides new insights and inspiration. The internship contributes to the autonomy, self-reliance and personal responsibility of students and employees. They acquire a better knowledge of a foreign language, move in a completely different context than they’re used to and therefore it will deliver a wealth of experience and a better perspective on the labor market. Together with our partners we are building a European network for proper placement and knowledge exchange. The internships abroad are means to embed Internationalization in a structural way. It will connect the international labor market and is a way to present the schools attractively. The Hague region has a large international business field and with the structural embedding of our internationalization policy, we are an interesting partner for the regional labor market.
