EUROVOUZELA VII was the second project under the Erasmus Charter. The participation in this project follows our Internationalization Strategy, aiming to promote the school across borders, offering the students and staff a rewarding and unique experience. EPV’s main challenge is to fight against the students’ lack of motivation, associated to little expectations for a prosperous future and also because they don’t identify themselves with the traditional education system. In addition, with this project we want students and parents to recognize training as a professional and social integration factor for success. We believe we can improve the students’ motivation and self-esteem, forward them to knowledge, guide them in their choices towards a professional future aligned with their expectations and aspirations. The participation in the Erasmus+ project has allowed the school’s internationalization which is reflected in (1) students, teams and potential companies happier and integrated in the European spirit; (2) EPV has become a reference school for a better educational system; (3) teaching staff with a better knowledge of the best national and international pedagogic activities.
