The idea of the project based on the needs of schools in the field of developing entrepreneur skills of students and pedagogical staff. Our partnership consists of four schools - from Slovakia, Italy, Croatia and Spain. Involved project partners are secondary schools with similar educational programs and focus of vocational education. The project focuses on cooperation in economic subjects, especially in the subject of the training firm. The target group of the project is pedagogical staff and students, the wider regional community as well as representatives of regional self-government and regional business entities. The objectives of the project correspond to the project priorities. At the level of all target groups, we will develop students' key competencies, promote student´s and teacher´s creativity. At the level of school management, we focus on implementing new elements (CLIL, interdisciplinary relationships, methodology) into school education programs. During the project implementation we will organize 4 short-term exchanges of partner school pupils and 2 short-term teacher´s mobility. During these meetings, but also within the educational process in schools, students will create final outputs of the project: • trading system for training firms • dictionary of economic expressions • set of business letters in English • set of personal letters in English • guide of preparation for the interview • guide to EU labour markets • business guide in EU countries • competence profile of a young entrepreneur • manual for evaluation of students work in a training firm • list of learning outcomes in the subject training firm An important outcome of the project will be the creation of a stable partnership that will be used in the future to expand international cooperation. All partner schools will use the results of the project in the context of the educational process. Presentations, all outputs and information materials created during the project implementation we will use in the subjects training firm, economics, business correspondence, geography, cultural preparation. The results of the exchange of experience gained during the project will be incorporated in the school education programs. Schools can also use results for projects and activities in the context of further or lifelong learning.
The idea of the project arose on the basis of school needs in the area of development of business skills of students and pedagogical staff. Our partnership consisted of four schools – from Slovakia, Italy, Croatia and Spain. In the project, we focused on cooperation within economical subjects and on development of business skilss and competencies. The target group of the project were pedagogical staff and students of the schools, wider regional community as well as deputees of a local government and regional businnes entities. The aims of the project corresponded with priorities of the project. We developed the key competencies of students for all target groups and supported the creativity of both students and teachers. At schools, we focused on implementation of new components (CLIL, inter-subject relationships, methodology) on school educational programmes. During the realization of the project, we organized four short term student exchanges of partner schools and two short term mobilities for teachers and two mobilities that were held in virtual form. During these meetings as well as within local activities, the participants worked on formation of final project outputs. Teachers prepared a methodology for trading training companies with a proposal for the duties of individual departments and the organization of relationships in the training company. In addition to the methodology, they also prepared a competency profile of a young entrepreneur with educational outcomes for the subject training company as well as a manual for evaluating the students in a training company. Under the guidance of the teachers, students prepared a collection of business and personal letters in English. The letters were processed during joint workshops, where students exchanged business information. A dictionary of economic terms and a manual of preparation for the job interview were also prepared for the collection. An important outcome was the exchange of information on doing business in partner countries. The result of this area is a guide to the labor market of EU countries and a guide to doing business in EU countries. All the partner schools will use the results of the project within the educational proces. All the presentations, outputs and information materials acquired through the realization of the project will be used in subjects such as training companies, economics, business correspondence, geography and cultural preparation. The results of exchange experience acquired through the project will be included in school educational programmes of the schools. They will also use certain results for the projects and activities within the further and lifelong education.
