Virtual Mobility in the VET System (VIMOinVET) is a strategic partnership project supporting the exchange of good practices. The project partners are: - Scuola Centrale Formazione - IT (coordinating partner and promoter of the initiative) - HETEL – ES (expert partner for good practices in the implementation of virtual mobility integrated with geographical mobility) - Roskilde College – DK (expert partner in virtual mobility, distance learning, and innovative learning spaces) - ANFA – FR (partners with great experience in transnational mobility and mutual recognition through mobility) - Masinska Skola – SR (Serbian school that launched its Internationalisation Strategy through learning mobility in 2019). The partners come from 5 countries, they have complementary, long-standing expertise on the issues of mobility and internationalization at home. The good practice intercepted here is virtual mobility in its different facets and implementation models (didactic tools and methodologies), integrated with formal learning pathways and support/preparatory to geographical mobility. The project therefore aims to qualify VET practitioners on blended mobility and internationalisation methodologies. The strategic objectives of the project are: - To implement the internationalisation strategy of VET alongside geographical mobility through internationalisation activities at home integrated with the formal learning pathways of young people coming from European VET systems; - Enabling VET educational figures (teaching and mentoring) to acquire competences of facilitating/conducting virtual learning activities (facilitating virtual exchanges, conducting transnational distance learning activities); - Integrate the dimension of virtuality in learning within the VET system with a view to inclusiveness, thus responding both to the need to intercept young people with fewer opportunities and to use educational technologies through a motivating and creative approach. The project contributes to the implementation of "inclusive" education through the use of technologies, intercepting even fragile pupils with fewer opportunities. This assumption is particularly relevant in this emergency time in which all regional and European VET systems need to find their place in the context of the general educational offer and therefore have the need to: - Keep pupils and families connected through e-learning with accessible tools; - Train with motivating methodologies, able to enhance young people's attitudes and strengthen the citizenship skills required by the labour market; - Integrate the most vulnerable students through the use of "inclusive" methodologies; - Keeping alive the vocation of VET, based on "learning by doing", promoting "problem" based and "learner-centred" activities that trigger creativity, collaboration and spirit of initiative. The project sees the realisation of 6 transnational meetings in the partner countries: M1 Italy December 2020 M2 Spain March 2021 M3 Denmark June 2021 M4 France October 2021 M5 Serbia April 2022 M6 Italy November 2022 Participants of the meetings will be distributed as following: - 11 people in M1 (IT) - 18 people in M2 (ES) - 10 people in M3 (DK) - 14 people in M4 (FR) - 14 people in M5 (SR) - 18 people in M6 (IT) All partners undertake to ensure the implementation of at least 1 virtual mobility flow to support/integrate geographical mobility to be carried out within their ordinary mobility projects (VET mobility charter ownership and own funds). Exceptionally only for the Serbian partner the project provides financial coverage for the realization of mobility of 8 students accompanied by 2 teachers and aimed at this experimentation. The M3 meeting (Denmark) is not only aimed at the exchange of good practices but also sees joint training on a specific focus "Educational Welfare and Internationalisation" Joint training has as objectives: - the presentation of innovative elements on the theme of learning spaces (organization of spaces, architectural choices) - focus on the relationship between learning spaces and processes (learning styles, digital tools, digital didactics) - focus on synchronous and asynchronous internationalization at home activities. The last M6 meeting will be in Italy in November 2022. On this occasion SCF and the project partners will take focus on the state of the art of management and administrative tasks. Moreover, on the occasion of the final meeting SCF will organize the DO YOUR MOB event with its own funds in order to enhance the initiative and the results obtained. The DYM will see the presentation of the Guidelines and Recommendations for the implementation of virtual mobility within the VET systems.
Internazionalizzazione, Digitalizzazione Inclusione sono le parole chiave di questa iniziativa; il progetto ha voluto: - contribuire allo sviluppo di strategie di internazionalizzazione attraverso iniziative di “Internationalisation at Home” - migliorare la qualità della Mobilità Geografica attraverso il supporto della Mobilità Virtuale/Blended - trarre dai dispositivi e supporti digitali spunti metodologici utili a ridurre il rischio di abbandono scolastico; - favorire la mobilità degli operatori della formazione professionale finalizzata allo scambio di buone prassi e all’aggiornamento professionale. Internationalization, Digitization Inclusion are the key words of this initiative; the project aimed to: - contribute to the development of internationalization strategies in VET systems through "Internationalization at Home" initiatives and successful practices developed within the partnership; - improve the quality of Geographic Mobility through the support of Virtual/Blended Mobility; and - draw from digital devices and supports methodological insights useful in reducing the risk of school dropout; - foster the mobility of vocational training practitioners aimed at the exchange of good practices and professional development.
Questo progetto nasce in seno all’emergenza sanitaria causata dalla pandemia da Covid19. Il progetto rispondeva pertanto a 3 priorità orizzontali VET, ovvero promuovere: - Concrete opportunità di aggiornamento e implementazione delle competenze professionali degli operatori della formazione professionale (docenti, tutor, coordinatori didattici, coordinatori delle attività di internazionalizzazione); - Metodologie e strumenti digitali a favore dei processi di internazionalizzazione a “casa”; - Approcci inclusivi nella didattica e nelle attività di internazionalizzazione con una particolare attenzione al benessere formativo dei giovani. This project was born within the health emergency caused by the Covid19 pandemic that sadly affected our country and later all of Europe. The elements of rlflection brought by the pandemic crisis has been a fundamental imput to rethink internationalization strategies "at home" in the context of VET, to promote: - Concrete opportunities to upgrade and implement the professional skills of VET professionals, - Digital methodologies to support VET internationalization - Inclusive approaches in teaching and internationalization activities with a focus on the educational well-being of young people.
