The presented project focusing on the key idea of participation takes a two phase approach to improve the understanding of social fairness, integration and inclusion. All elements are of significant importance to society and the idea of participation supports the RvW-BK strategy of “internationalization”. This project builds on the European work of the participating disciplines and it is an integral part of the school quality management system. The project offers the participants insights into the concept of “internationalization” and broadens the base for “Europe-work” at the Rvw-BK. Currently the project has the following enrollment: 18 participants focusing on business studies and modern languages preparation with additional qualification as bilingual secretary; 34 participants doing a three-year-course in Health and Social Care / Childcare training to be nursery nurses and 4 participants focusing on wholesale/retail and industrial management. These participants are scheduled to attend a 4/8 week internship in a European country. Additionally, there will be 22 staff/faculty members attending a three-day- mobility-phase in the respective countries. For the first time, faculty from the technical disciplines will also be in attendance. The goal of this faculty-mobility-activity is to initiate a co-operation with European partners, which will in turn enable 2 students to participate in the placements in phase two. The project content has been further developed from the last year’s project. The content addresses discipline-specific topics. For the pedagogic field, the placement focus is on the current discussion “change of pedagogic philosophies and their impact on early child development”. The new philosophy changes the understanding of the teacher’s role in relation to the child. The teacher takes the role of “the one learning from the child”, aiming to support the child in their development and learning process by involving them in decisions based on their current capabilities. The project goal is to examine this question through a European lens. To do so, the participants will observe and practise the methods and processes during their placement. The faculty will learn from their peers and bring back impulse to improve faculty development. Both activities will be linked closely to obtain the best possible results. This project goal is in line with the RvW-BK European partnership work. In the discipline of business administration and economics, the focus is on “work-life-balance” (WLB) and how one attains this while participating in career, family and social activities. The participants will study existing work-time models and develop recommendations based on their findings. The study will have the following elements: interviews of peers and supervisors with the aid of questionnaires; discussions with supervisors about economic and demographic challenges in their host country; analysis of the differences in WLB expectations by age group and with reference to the various work-time models and comparison of their findings in the host country to those of students who did their work placements in Germany. The faculty members of the technical departments will focus on interactive teaching structures at the partnering facilities, preferably with heterogeneous learning groups that are aiming to improve and self-learning. The close linkage between student placement and faculty visits guarantees the quality of the project. Structured activities and tasks (“AGENDA”) bring it all together. The results will help to improve the teaching and didactic structures of each discipline. Assigned “Country teams of faculty” (language teachers and Tech/discipline-specific teachers) have proven to be successful. An EU-piloting team in the school’s governance group will be responsible for evaluating the results and then communicating these via the school’s homepage, for meetings of practical mentors and international meetings. The continuation of the “internationalization” project supports the professional development of the faculty and provides the further conceptual development of the disciplines sustaining our Europe-school status.
