The project was successfully completed and all activities were carried out with quality and on time. Two mobilities were carried out with students for a three-week industrial practice in a real working environment in Rimini, Italy and Cork, Ireland, with 12 students and 2 accompanying teachers in Rimini and 10 students with 2 accompanying teachers in Cork respectively. All students actively participated in the practices, upgraded their knowledge and skills in professional training and received certificates for the achieved results. Accompanying teachers had the opportunity to participate in practical training in a real work environment and improve their teaching skills in professional training. 8 teachers participated in a training course on creating and using digital educational resources. The training took place in Tenerife, Spain for 10 days. All teachers received certificates. Proof of the effectiveness of the conducted mobilities is the fact that all the students and teachers included in them wish to be included in subsequent ones as well. The students, who had some doubts, are already expressing their desire to be included in the next projects. Activities for popularizing and disseminating the results also contribute to this
