Work with me - Early Childhood Education 2014-2016 (Kinderpfleger/innen/Erzieher/innen) Über den Tellerrand geschaut (2014-2016): RWBK-Azubis aus Gastronomie und Hotellerie mobil in Europa
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project "RWBK goes Europe" was the first cross-departmental project for the different EU activities of our vocational school. Future educators, nursery nurses, apprentices in the hotel and hospitality trade and beauticians travelled abroad to improve their intercultural, vocational and language skills. Project aims: In all cases the target was to increase the European mobility of future employees. Things that we have in common and things that are different in the respective countries are the topic of ensuing discussions. Automatically, the foreign language skills, the social competence as well as the personal and vocational skills will improve. Many former participants said that they realized that also their professional skills are international. There has been a lively exchange of methods and ideas with regard to activities with children in the nursery school which increased the self-confidence of participants as an equal partner for the British colleagues. Number and profile of participants: 61 participants, of those future educators, nursery nurses (39), apprentices from the hotel and hospitality sector (15), 3 beauticians and 7 teachers of English as a foreign language participated. Activities: Among vocational work placements in nursery schools, in restaurants and kitchens and practical training sessions in the college of our project partner, as well as total immersion courses for our EFL teachers were part of the programme. Project management: many years of experience with similar projects, constant improvements after evaluation and feedback with our partners. Expected results/effects/longterm benefit: the work placement abroad provided additional qualifications for our students, it improved language skills, the participants gained practical work experience abroad which will be an additional asset on the job market. It also improves the profile of our vocational school and the participating partners in the dual apprenticeship sector of hotels and restaurants in our area. Without the Erasmus+ programme many of our students would not be able to gain insight into work in a foreign country. The EU grant made it possible that also financially and socially disadvantaged students could participate.
