The target group of this student mobility project are 12 apprentices who are being taught in the so-called "dual system" of the vocational college in Arnsberg. Throughout the duration of the project the apprentices absove a four-week internship abroad, which should at least partly take place in the school holidays so that as few days of school as possible are being missed. In coopaeration with our European partners the apprentices can choose between the following countries: Spain, Slovenia, Finland, Denmark, Estland and Croatia. Before travelling a one-day preparatory course, held by the members of the european team of the Berufskolleg Belriner Platz. This seminar focuses on cultural as well as linguistic issues and the management of possible crisis. One central aim of the mobility project lies in the communication in a foreign language, mainly in job-related situations. This does not neccessarily include the official language of the host country as English can be used as a lingua franca. Additionally, getting familiar with foreign markets, people and cultures should be seen as personal gain instaed of a meanace. Last but not least, the development of the own personality is a prime aim of the mobility. Furthermore each apprentice agrees upon an individual learning agreement with his or her college teacher and/or job trainer which correlates with the current curriculum or professional tasks. This learning agreement has to be fulfilled throughout the training abroad. Contentswise it could include a comparision of work procedures in both countries or the investigation of job-related issues. This work should include a presention to be introduced at college and/or the training company after the mobility.
