Project summary

People who are now in the middle of their lives have experienced a rapid development of new technologies and political contexts. Our students who are at the beginning of their professional activity will not be able to adapt to the rapid change in technology and the world of work in an unknown future without openness in many different areas. Well-trained skills, high-quality training and awareness of these skills are intended to help students prepare for their later lives, especially their professional lives in a united Europe as responsible, critical, creative, multilingual citizens. Knowing about these skills and the understanding to constantly improve them helps avoid early school leaving. Questionnaires, project work, workshops, courses and shared experiences should help strengthen European cohesion in the Meetings on place. The schools mentioned here in the project proposal have different specialties and will pass on their specialist knowledge to the partners in workshops with modern teaching methods and the help of digital media. Meeting experts in and from companies will help students learn about the needed skills for different kind of work-spaces in their own country as well as in different countries. Visiting the different countries is a good way to learn new skills and complements expert knowledge given at schools. Being a guest in a foreign family and school is also a good way to learn about tolerance. It is important to include all students in the learning, teaching and training activities related to the project, regardless of their religion, gender, social background, academic performance, economic or social background. Participating teachers and students will pass on their newly acquired knowledge in their schools through workshops and presentations. In the end not only there will be a collection of tasks and project ideas on the project website but also a collection in the form of a file that can be used in future project works in your own schools as well as in other schools and institutions. A collection of job profiles will give students knowledge about many different professions. We would like to share our experiences with as many people as possible in many different ways as possible.

Final report summary

People who are now in the middle of their lives are experiencing a rapid development of new technologies and political contexts. Our students, who are at the beginning of their careers, will not be able to adapt to the rapid changes in technology and the world of work in an unknown future without openness in many areas. Well-developed skills, quality education and awareness of these skills will help students prepare for their future lives, especially their professional lives in a united Europe as responsible, critical, creative and multilingual citizens. The knowledge of these skills and the understanding of how to constantly improve them helped to prevent early school leaving. Questionnaires, project work, workshops, courses and shared experiences helped to strengthen European cohesion in the local meetings. The schools mentioned here in the project proposal have different subject areas and have passed on their specialist knowledge to the partners in workshops using modern teaching methods and with the help of digital media. Through encounters with experts in and from companies, the pupils learned the necessary skills for different areas of work in their own country and in other countries. Visits in different countries were a very good opportunity to learn new skills and complemented the specialist knowledge taught at school. Being a guest in a foreign family and school is also a good way of practicing tolerance. It was important for us to involve many students in the learning, teaching and training activities related to the project, regardless of their religion, gender, social background, academic performance, economic or social background. The participating teachers and students shared their newly acquired knowledge in their schools through workshops and presentations. At the end, not only was a collection of tasks and project ideas available on the project cloud, but also a collection in the form of a file that can be used for future project work our their own schools, but also in other schools and institutions. We want to share our experiences with as many people as possible in as many different ways as possible. This was in the context of a 12-month extension due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which posed operational challenges for schools and impacted mobility activities in particular. Through coordinated efforts, cooperative initiatives and collective determination, a strong collaboration between the transnational teams emerged, ensuring the successful implementation of all planned mobility activities.
