The participants of the project will improve their professional, personal and intercultural competencies and approach the notion of Europe. They’ll improve their foreign language skills (English; basic knowledge of Finnish, Spanish and Catalan). They’ll acquire an international view of education and therefore expand their skills. The students will improve their chances on the job market due to their additional competencies as well as the approval in the educator diplomas and the Europass. The quality of the vocational training of educators at the Hilde-Domin-Schule is improved by the project. The staff of the vocational school for pedagogics at the Hilde-Domin-Schule will learn from the experiences of their Finnish partner school concerning the description and assessment of learning outcomes based on competencies. They will grasp the international dimension as well as the notion of Europe which is the basis for the competence-oriented curricula with relation to EQR and DQR. HDS teachers gain insight into the Finnish and Spanish early childhood education system.They recognize similarities and differences and reflect on their impact on the classroom. The staff and the students expand their knowledge.
With this project we as a vocational school for pedagogics in Baden Württemberg would like to contribute to the advancement of educational reforms with our own impulses in order to qualify future educators for their pedagogical work even better than they have been so far. The experience from previous mobility projects of our school has shown that we can increase the attraction of the vocational training as an educator at the Hilde-Domin-Schule with this project. The international perspective, which the project adds to the educators’ vocational training at our school, singles out our school and helps to win young motivated persons for the vocational training as an educator and therefore to improve the quality of future educators. It makes a vital contribution to the quality assurance and quality development of the educators’ vocational training at our school.
