Objectives

By implementing this project, our school wanted to align with the European requirements regarding the sustainable management of renewable resources, the bioeconomy and the green civic attitude, a European trend increasingly present nowadays. The topics of the students' training program referred to the development of specific competences in the field of forestry and focused on issues related to forestry and environmental protection, new technologies used in this field and modern aspects of natural resources management. The mobilities responded to the qualification needs in the field of forestry, a field that is topical and requires a qualified workforce and in which the professional training was carried out in accordance with the professional standards. Our school is looking for the best solutions so that the trainees to acquire execution skills, to get in touch with the novelties in the field, to work in a transnational team to improve the language skills as well as the confidence in their own forces. The students participating in the mobility were students from the field of forestry and logging.

Background

The Transylvania Forest High School in Năsăud applied to the 2019 round of applications for 16 mobilities for students from the forestry training field. Our school has accreditation for the Erasmus 2014-2020 programme. The project aimed at the professional training of the students in accordance with the requirements of the labor market and with the European legislation in the field of forestry, so as to increase their chances of employment and career prospects as well as to facilitate their acquisition of relevant work experiences in obtaining a future job in the country or on the European labor market. Our school has had long-term partnerships with similar institutions in countries with a tradition in the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources. The issue of environmental protection and forest ecosystems is a topical issue in Europe and the forest plays an important role, which is why well-trained and informed graduates will be better integrated in the country or in Europe.
