The participation of staff in international trainings and courses was to increase their knowledge and skills in the field of special teaching methods, so that they could then modify the curricula to the abilities and skills of students. Learning about new tools used in European schools was to enable their implementation in our facility. Participation in staff mobility was to give the opportunity to establish European cooperation in an international group and prevent professional burnout, develop creativity and entrepreneurship. In addition, the goal of our facility is to comprehensively prepare the graduate to help them enter the labor market. As a result, participants in the mobility could analyze and evaluate methods applicable in vocational and general education, existing and implemented in Europe, as well as learn about the market requirements in terms of tasks performed by people with intellectual disabilities in relation to European vocational school graduates. Another reason was the improvement of the knowledge of the English language by the participants of the project, which in the long run was to enable the internationalization of education in the institution by creating a network of international contacts.
We applied for the implementation of this project to increase teachers' awareness of the need for continuous self-education in the field of the latest organizational solutions used in vocational education in Europe. Developing skills and competences for better quality of work and activities for the benefit of students with disabilities. Increasing the motivation and satisfaction of their daily work. Providing youth workers with the possibility of training and cooperation in order to develop their professionalism through participation in international courses and training abroad. Such improvement was intended to promote common European values, foster social inclusion, increase intercultural understanding and foster a sense of belonging to a community. Cooperation with a similar European institution was to enable the observation of the learning model and teaching students with special educational needs. The benefits were not only the participants of the mobility, but the entire facility. Implementation of the project was to raise the authority of the school in the local community, stimulate new forms of cooperation by promoting the results of the project and raise the language competences of teachers in order to build a contact base
