The general objective was the promotion of student employment through work-based learning experiences abroad. The specific objectives were inherent to the provision of work experiences abroad for students from Romagna such as short and long-term training stages, i.e.: the improvement of key and vocational skills in relation to relation to strategies for the relaunch of the local economy, the enhancement of the participants' sense of European citizenship and the innovation of the training offer and teaching methodologies of the teachers. The project also envisaged consolidating a pool of schools in the consortium related to the wellness sector and training them in mobility project management procedures. The project was part of a territorial promotion strategy centred on the theme of "good living" (wellness) and focused on four strands: healthy eating, culture and entertainment, wellness (sport and body care) and territorial promotion. The consortium schools will be involved in training experiences abroad to import useful skills for the region.
We chose to participate in the LOWE project because we believe in the importance of internationalisation of education for the development of our students and the educational community. We focused on project areas that aim to develop management skills, train mobility coordinators, promote the European dimension and take a systemic approach to internationalisation. We believe that the development of managerial skills is essential to ensure effective and collaborative management processes between schools, guaranteeing the quality of placements abroad and the long-term sustainability of the project. Training of mobility coordinators is equally important to ensure that teachers are able to manage mobility projects and provide relevant information to students. The European dimension is crucial for the acquisition of intercultural and language skills, which are essential for the education of our students.
