We always set the goals of the project in accordance with the four international strategic goals of our institution. The internationalisation strategy of our institution includes four main pillars: 1. To prepare students to meet the demands of the labour market according to international standards. 2. To form “Europe-conscious”, self-developing attitude in students. 3. To involve teachers and workers in our international projects. 4. To prepare the road to become an international organisation. The current tender helped realize all four purposes considerably. Our students have mainly developed in their professional and language skills, as professional practice abroad gave them the opportunity of improvement in both fields and also ensured unique chances. Moreover, intercultural experience resulted in numerous formal, informal and non-formal learning situations, which tended to shepherd students to create a conscious, “Europe-conscious” picture of the future. While planning the project, besides the members of our tender team (strategic team, project co-ordinators, project managers), we also involved a good many co-workers, mostly to benefit from multiplication effect. We wished to increase the number of internationally accomplished projects to activate the obvious advantages of international co-operations.
Our participation in the project helps the realisation of our strategic goals laid down in the European Development Plan, the Internationalisation Strategy and Professional Programme of the school, namely that we intend to train highly professional and open-minded skilled workers and technicians. Thus, we would like to give the opportunity to as many students as possible to take part in international activities. Furthermore, our cross-border programmes ensure huge competitive advantage, our school is highly appealing for enrolling students as they might have the opportunity to broaden their vocational skills in international environment. International mobility projects are great means to help and complete curricular school activities, participating students are more motivated and efficient at their studies than other non-participating ones.
