Improving language competencies was crucial. Erasmus projects give teachers the chance to develop pedagogical skills, acquire new knowledge, and gain experience. Teachers have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with innovative teaching methods applied in other countries. This opens up new perspectives for them in working with students and can have a positive impact on the quality of education. Erasmus project can assist the school in promoting international cooperation and establishing contacts.
The idea for the Erasmus+ Teacher Training Courses arose in response to the needs expressed by teachers regarding the expansion of language and methodological competencies. These needs were identified through surveys conducted by the school management. Following the conducted research, areas within the school requiring improvement were identified as follows:Insufficient language skills among Vocational School teachers.Insufficient language skills among Vocational School students. Enhancement of mid-level institution management.European dimension of the school. The project provides teachers with the opportunity to develop their skills, discover new teaching methods, and gain experience within an international environment. Participation in the Erasmus project can impact the school's internationalization by opening up new perspectives, fostering collaboration with foreign educational institutions, and promoting international knowledge exchange. Through the project, teachers can exchange experiences with educators from different countries, learning diverse teaching methods, and the culture of schooling. This iniciative can be motivation for the teaching staff, providing them with opportunities for personal and professional development
