Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

OBJECTIVES AND LONG TERM BENEFITS. In our Institution, we understand that true integration into the European space we belong requires opening channels of communication and exchange with other countries belonging to it. In the field of education, public administrations are carrying out an important work of regulation and organization of actions focused on a cultural and scientific exchange in Europe and manifested in the different calls as this one of Erasmus + The reasons that move us to participate in this call are: a) Interest in knowing other education systems in all areas: - Educational programs in schools in the field of vocational training. - Training of teachers. - Management of professional internship. - Management of centers. etc. b) The need to open the center to the outside as a way to set the foundations for the implementation of regular educational experiences abroad, both as recipients of students and teachers, as well as issuers to other countries. c) Make explicit the importance of languages as an essential tool in a globalized economic environment in which its mastering can not only open doors in other countries but also in ours, insofar companies maintain relationships internationally. d) To enrich and open our minds and our students to experience different environments from ours, other ways of doing and understanding things, other forms of training and working as well as different cultural elements. CONTEXT Our institution is located in the town of Utebo, third city by population in the province of Zaragoza and fifth of Aragon. Utebo is located 12 kilometers from Zaragoza having a good communication between both locations via train and bus. In the near vicinity of Utebo there are a number of companies engaged in diverse activities and in many cases with national and international projection which play a crucial role in the economic development of the region (Valeo, General Motors, Marcotrans, LeciTrailer, Auchan, Enlog etc.). Our School is an important referent for the industrial fabric in the vicinity area, since our students are achieving the training needed for their activities. NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS The mobilities we ask in this project are eight for students (four for both countries, France and Malta) and four for teachers (two for each country). Students belonging to intermediate vocational training will be asked to meet a number of requirements relating to the call (language level, educational level, good behavior, attendance, etc). Teachers, whose training by the administration is limited and insufficient in many cases, are in the need of seeking any opportunity for training and retraining. Having the opportunity to visit a foreign company and be part of it for a few days will provide huge benefits that will result positively in their educational work. ACTIVITIES Activities in the case of students will be to do 6 weeks of their internship period in a foreign company. As for teachers, the activity will consist in a Job shadowing period in a school or a company. Beyond the strictly educational and/or professional activities, any stay abroad should be accompanied by other informal activities such us knowledge of the environment, cultural approach and enriching human relationships. It is this set of activities which is going to fulfill the expected result. IMPACT AND BENEFITS The impact of this project at the level of students and teachers participating is personal enrichment to educational, linguistic, cultural and professional level. The experiences that involve living for a short time in a foreign country, we understand that they have, in most cases, a long-term positive impact on the person who has lived it. It allows to perceive the “surroundings” as an area increasingly broader, going beyond the limits of its neighbors by offering multiple new possibilities. From an external point of view, our school should be recognized as an entity capable of establishing long lasting and rewarding relationships with the outside of which can benefit our users: students and teachers. We want to show ourselves as an institution that builds bridges within the space of the European Union allowing students and teachers to cross them, and as a consequence, our school and staff will increase its added value in benefit of the whole community.
