- Consolidate our center's internationalization process, affecting all members of the educational community, students at all levels, teachers from all areas, and non-teaching staff (secretary staff). Since the center began carrying out exchange activities, we have verified that the international projection of the center positively affects everyone globally. With the Erasmus+ mobility project we value the international projection that we started He does several courses in professional training in a rural environment. - Carry out activities to promote languages for students and teachers. We intended to achieve high levels of linguistic competence of teachers and students, especially in intermediate vocational training and FPB, since in this way students will increase their use of mobility as well as their employability and teachers their training capacity in an international environment, as well as as the possibility of exchanging experiences and practices with foreign counterpart centers. - Get our intermediate vocational training students, and basic vocational training students, to carry out the FCT internship period in a European country. With this, our students will increase their employability potential, improve their linguistic competence in foreign languages, raise their self-esteem, motivation and enthusiasm, and drop out of school will be reduced and they will discover new ways of working and living. - Learn about other ways of working and be able to carry out specific activities that can have a direct impact on the students. -Create a stable link with the companies and counterpart centers which we are working with, and which have already received other of our interns. - Expand and improve personal skills, technical and professional skills of teachers and students In the current context (new ways of doing and learning, high youth unemployment, fourth industrial revolution, new rurality etc.), educational centers and the industry of European countries must adapt and search for new markets, sometimes beyond their own national borders, requiring greater integration and cooperation between them. Faced with these new challenges, a greater need for well-trained young people with international skills, prepared to undertake new challenges and innovation, hence the need to emphasize foreign language skills, social skills, knowledge of other cultures and ways of working, both for trainers, teachers, as well as those trained, students. The partners of this project want to address these international challenges by expanding their international and national networks, through their cooperation in this international project.
We have applied to this project in order to improve the training of our students with the experience of a job in a European country, promote better knowledge of European culture and the learning of other languages. Internationalization is a main axis for our institute. In both high school and college, we are professionally involved in establishing stable ties with counterpart centers abroad. The objective of these relationships is to learn about other forms of work and to be able to carry out activities and specific actions that may have a direct impact on the students, teachers and staff of the school. Languages have a wide presence in the training we offer. We are a center with a bilingual project in English and French. For several years we have participated in Vocational Training and Secondary Education projects to carry out mobility of teachers and students to European educational centers, observe and learn their coexistence plan system in the center. In professional training, we are in the Consortium of the DG of FP of the CAM, and teachers and students have carried out mobility to European companies: job shadowing and training practices, even last year, despite the COVID restrictions. We also have a KA2 school exchange project with the centers in Paris and Berlin, we want these exchanges to continue in the future. In our secondary school we have offered our students long-term stays to carry out their studies with our partners in Paris and Berlin.
