For the students the objectives were practicing vocational skills as well as increasing tolerance and respect regarding cultural aspects, democratic understanding and sustainable development. The project can contribute to education of professionals in health care who have skills in working in a multicultural society. The project can contribute to recruitment to Health and Child care, and help motivating students to complete their schooling and prevent dropouts. Regarding teachers who participated, the goals were to gain international experience and knowledge of their own profession. Both students and teachers were able to practice their language skills in English.
In this project Re upper secondary School completed work-placement for students in Health and Child Care in Dublin in their second year. Total number of students were 8 and 2 teachers. We were planning on sending students to Malta as well in their first year. However, due to the corona-pandemic we were unable to send students to Malta in this project. We have good experience in sending students to Malta and Dublin and this is an integrated part of the school program.
