PROJECT
FINISHED
The project MOVING AROUND EUROPE TO LEARN 2014-2016 was created to offer our students and VET teachers the chance to make a training period in a UE country, through the mobility activities of a traineeship in a company for the students and a training period for teachers. By this project we have provided our students and teachers the approach and integration in Europe, at the same time we have facilitated them the learning of other languages and cultures, as well as the improvement of their professional skills.
The specific aims of the project are:
a)To improve the capacity and professional skills of students and teachers.
b)To provide students and teachers an European dimension of the labour market, improving the employability of students helping them get their first job.
c) To work the basic and transversal skills of the students
d) To promote student entrepreneurship, access to new labour markets and opportunities.
e) To promote learning of foreign languages to students and teachers.
f) To strengthen relationships with intermediary schools and host partners with whom we usually work
g) To ensure equal opportunities and access to information by all participants
h) To ensure the quality of mobility activities
i) To validate the skills acquired by the participants during their experiences abroad (Europass, ECVET ...)
In this project have participated 24 students and 10 teachers of vocational training from the following professions: Motor Vehicles Electro mechanics, Telecommunications Installations, Electrical and Automatic Installations, Administrative Management and Microcomputer Systems and Networks.
Students have done 30 days of traineeship in Rendsburg (Germany), Budapest (Hungary) and Malta. Teachers have done a training period of job shadowing in VET schools or companies in Germany, Hungary, Finland and Malta.
To carry out our project, we have had the colaboration of our project partners in Rendsburg, Budapest and Vantaa and several companies in Malta. Our project partners in Rendsburg and Budapest are vocational training centers like our and they have a wide experience in mobility projects. We work all the time in close collaboration with them, which is essential for the preparation and execution of the project, ensuring the quality of the mobility we offer. We know that a quality mobility experience is very important for the future of our students, helping them to promote their creativity, competitiveness, employability and entrepreneurship. Then, all together work to get it.
With this project we have strengthened the capacity of lifelong learning of our students, creating in them a sense of European citizenship based on understanding and respect for human rights and promoting tolerance with other countries and cultures.
Youths must search for new professional careers in the European Union. There is nothing better than the students’ mobility at the end of their training, to gain experience in a safe and supervised framework and get ready for the European labour market.
Through a transnational mobility people can strengthen both professional and personal fields. Students and teachers returned from their experience reinforced with new knowledge and learning and they had the opportunity to compare the training of both countries and transfer their knowledge and experience in their training and/or work activities performed later in our country.
Sometimes, the fact of living on an island makes it difficult for students and teachers to make a decision about making a training period abroad. We haave changed this. With this project our students and teachers have been MOVING, they have openned out their horizons to new experiences with people and companies in other European countries, responding to the objectives and priorities of the Erasmus+ programme.
