The THREE Project is set in a geographical context - called the Bassa Padovana area, in the Venetian region-, characterized by an economy continuously suffering from the shortage of job occupation due to the financial and economic crisis. What is more, really radical historical and cultural conditionings and the permanence of gender and ethnic stereotypes make difficult to change behaviours and organization models of small enterprises, and limit the necessary innovation processes. In this context the project offered important educational opportunities to the young people through the mobility by helping them improving the relationships with the others, considering the differences of gender, culture and place of origin as resources instead of limits. Together with the enhancement of linguistic and professional ?tools?, the project aimed at the intercultural awareness as one of the essential competences to start up revival processes for the employment driven by the touristic resources of the territory. The need of an innovative touristic offer, based on human level personalisation, requires the operators to master, together with some specific technical competences, some of the skills enhanced by the project: flexibility, openness towards the society, cooperation, self ?entrepreneurship, personal organization. The project, carried out by a consortium of four vocational and technical secondary schools, involved 111 learners who completed the 4th of 5 years (66 females ,45 males). Their mobility (FR, ES,DE, IE, UK) was of 5 weeks during the summer 2015, with 1 week of cultural, linguistic preparation and introduction to the internship and 4 weeks of full time workplacement in companies relevant to the professional profiles: tourism and related sectors (marketing and administration, ICT, hospitality&catering), agri-food and environment management. The different professional profiles shared the aim to acquire and enhance the ability to: 1-communicate in foreign languages 2- face new cultural contexts, 3- adapt to unfamiliar situations, be flexible, show interest in new experiences and live them as a learning opportunity 4- practise personal autonomy by daily training in their self-organization and stress management 5- build up constructive relationships and take on responsibilities at work. 6- acquire or improve some professional skills The activities were managed in every step within the Quality circle (planning, implementation, evaluation and review), enabling the success of all the actions and the achievement of the project goals. The degree of success of the project was assessed through final surveys among the participants, the school tutors, the receiving and hosting organisations. The positive outcomes were determined also by the careful linguistic and pedagogic preparation and the good practices shared for the selection. The Erasmus+ VET mobility is integrated in the learner?s pathway as equivalent to the school-work alternance system, so the implementation of ECVET procedures in the learning experience abroad enabled the recognition of credits. The Europass Mobility Document was issued to the participants as well as other certifications (language and workplacement). Thanks to the project the members of the national and international partnership have strengthened their collaboration and improved the shared practices to organise, manage and evaluate the mobility. The participants highlighted a relevant progress in their self-esteem, confidence, ability to manage difficulties, autonomy, self-awareness and open attitude. The improvement of social, civic and intercultural skills strengthened the feeling of belonging to the European community in all the actors involved; many participants imagine themselves to spend a period of further training abroad in the short or medium term. This is also due to the improvement of communication skills in a foreign language. Their personal portfolio will be more well-stocked when they will enter the labour market. Thanks to the stakeholders of the consortium, the project has strengthened the relationships of schools with the territory and the businesses, where many students will spend the experience outcomes soon.
