Main goal: The BBZ Plön continues to develop through the professionalization of learners and educational staff in all educational courses by imparting intercultural and digital professional skills. Sending trainees to other European countries: improving professional perspectives / experiencing how people in Europe live / the importance of cohesion in Europe, especially in view of current developments in society as a whole, e.g. war in Ukraine and other countries, the consequences of the pandemic, the consequences of Brexit, Xenophobia, etc. / personal development of each individual: finding their way in a foreign culture, with a foreign language in an unfamiliar working environment / counteracting radicalization tendencies and xenophobia / improving media skills Dispatch of educational staff: Get insights into the education and work of other European countries / get to know measures for integration and internationalization / improve handling of digital learning / expansion of media competence / change, improve, redesign teaching content and switch material distribution plans more extensively to the topic of Europe.
The subject of Europe is of great importance for vocational schools. The European labor market offers our trainees interesting opportunities for professional orientation and further training. The contents of the lessons are: teaching common European values, promoting social integration, increasing intercultural understanding, strengthening the sense of belonging to a community and preventing violence and radicalization. It is important to us not only to show all European dimensions in the classroom, but also to offer them the possibility of mobility in other European countries in the form of internships. In addition, learning with digital media has increasingly found its way into the classroom, which is particularly necessary in the digital age, but also demands additional skills from the teachers. This relates to new teaching methods and materials as well as English language skills, which are increasingly required. That's why we wanted to enable mobility for our educational staff as a learning stay in Europe. Finally, we hoped that the project would lead to further development of project management and process management for our entire school.
