No Comments on Job Shadowing: teachers from Portugal to Italy

From 25 to 29 April, the Liceo Statale “E. Majorana” of San Giovanni La Punta welcomed Helena Lourenco de Sousa and Filipa Vilares, from Portugal, for a job-shadowing experience, which turned out to be very constructive.
Helena and Filipa had a lesson in English with the students of the Liceo Linguistico, during which they presented a video about Portugal and Madeira, before going on to learn more about multimedia techniques and languages in video production.

In the following days, they took part in PCTO/school-to-work activities, carried out by classes of the Liceo Linguistico, which included the preparation of a short presentation in Spanish of the artistic and cultural value of sites, which, dressed up as guides for one day, were included in a tour of the historical centre of Catania, carried out at the end of the project.

In Taormina, a PCTO activity on the profession of an archaeologist took place, involving students from the Liceo Classico.
Helena and Filipa had the opportunity to combine a visit to some of Sicily’s major tourist attractions with the school’s VET/PCTO activities.

No Comments on Teachers from Spain hosted by ITE “Scarpellini” in Italy

The Italian High School ITE Scarpellini continues its journey through internationalisation and the exchange of good practices by hosting a delegation of teachers and school staff from the Liceo IES Luis Bueno Crespo of Granada.
Already last week our school was visited by some Greek teachers and students.

Both groups showed great enthusiasm in visiting the high school and a strong interest in the activities illustrated. The school is very proud of its students that explained, in the Spanish language, all the school curricula, the laboratories and all the European projects in which the institute is involved.

In particular, they talked about their recent Erasmus+ mobility experiences, illustrating their training period and showing great enthusiasm for the many skills they had acquired.
It was a very productive exchange of good practice that may lead to new opportunities for mobility and cooperation between schools in the future.

No Comments on From ITE “Scarpellini” to Lithuania

After a long pause due to the pandemic, the students of ITE Scarpellini in Foligno are finally back on the road again, thanks to a partnership project entirely focused on climate change.
In October 2021 in Lithuania, took place the first meeting of the transnational experience, focused on “The Factors Influencing Climate Change”. A small team of teachers – Vanessa Sabatini and Ines Torresand – and pupils – Cecchetti Denise, Kulli Serena and Romano Graziella – hosted by the school “Panevėžio 5-oji gimnazija”, in Panevėžys.

The Italian school had the opportunity to see folk dances, listen to Lithuanian songs and see a presentation show.
All Italian team, together with the other partners from Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and Portugal, took part in a training course and exchange of good practices aimed at raising awareness among the participating schools on the issue of climate change, especially on water quality and pollution.

For five days, the pupils have been involved in a series of activities such as the collection and analysis of water samples at various sites around Lithuania, the discovery of symbolic places as a visit to the Pasvalys sinkholes and the company responsible for water distribution in the surrounding towns.
They were also able to take part in making handicrafts with recyclable materials at the school’s workshops, using techniques such as collage and composing with natural flowers to create decorative objects.

A very interesting visit was the city of Vilnius, the Pašiliai reserve, where it was possible to see bison in the wild, and the medieval capital of Lithuania, Trakai, and its Red Castle overlooking Lake Galve, one of the most beautiful places in the country.
Thanks to all the activities carried out, the students had direct contact with nature and interaction with teenagers from other cultures, the importance of sharing good practices to protect the environment and thus become citizens of the world, responsible and aware of the risks of our planet.
At the end of this training course, the students of ITE Scarpellini also enriched their skills in English, a fundamental tool for communication between the participating partners.
In May, Turkey will host the partners in the evocative backdrop of the city of Istanbul, and other students and teachers will be involved.

No Comments on European Tram Championship in Leipzig

Bringing people together from all over Europe and connecting them through play, entertainment and information – is the aim of this unusual championship, hosted this year by Verkehrsbetriebe Leipzig (LVB). In addition, the TRAM-EM wants to present local public transport as a modern and interesting service.

The European championship supports the exchange of experience between drivers and managers and has a promotional effect – regionally and throughout Europe. The TRAM-EM promotes cultural exchange in Europe and peaceful competition for future-oriented local public transport.

How does it work?

Any public transport operator from Europe can participate in the championships and register a team. A team consists of a male or female driver and a team coach.

The TRAM European Championships will take place in Leipzig on 21 May 2022. Then Leipzig will not only celebrate 150 years of trams in the trade fair city, but also a festival of diversity, open to all. “We are also pleased to be celebrating 50 years of vocational training at LVB,” says Katrin Lukas, Managing Director Human Resources and Driving Services and Labour Director of Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe. This vocational training takes place at the ENNE network partner Leipziger Ausbildungsbetriebe (LAB).

ENNE is an Erasmus+ project which aims to enhance the quality and attractiveness of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in five partner countries (Italy, Bulgaria, Germany, Portugal and Belgium) with a specific focus on mobility opportunities.

The last phase of the ENNE project is being implemented, which is mainly focused on organising transnational mobility activities for both VET staff and students and has the following objectives:

– improving cooperation between VET providers at national and European level;

– sharing good practices;

– promoting mutual learning methodologies among VET staff;

– promoting the acquisition of soft skills for VET learners;

Observation as a method of working represents a very effective method of achieving these objectives as it provides an opportunity to visit another (host) and observe the work for an agreed period of time.

ENNE job shadowing is based on good practice identified within national networks and these aim to:

– enable teachers to observe and learn best practices developed in other EU countries;

– inspire new ideas for teaching in VET;

– enable the hosting organisation to interact with a teacher coming from another country and discuss today’s educational challenges and opportunities;

– create/strengthen relationships between teachers and potential partners to provide expertise and resources for their classrooms and schools.

Since January 1, 2022, ITKAM – Italian Chamber of Commerce for Germany is the coordinator of the DIGIT project (DIGItal Transformation of Internationalization process), funded by the German National Erasmus+ Agency NABIBB.

DIGIT has emerged as a response to the COVID -19 pandemic situation, which has required SMEs in the agrifood sector in particular to rapidly strengthen digital skills in the sales and marketing process. These companies have had to adapt to digital marketing strategies and develop and implement new online or hybrid events within a few weeks.

DIGIT aims to develop three OERs training materials (Open Electronic Resources) for internationalization experts (e.g. employees of Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Chambers of Commerce Abroad) and for internationalization trainers (e.g. teachers at vocational schools for foreign trade or trainers at Chambers of Commerce and Industry).
