Seit dem 1. Januar 2022 ist ITKAM – Italienische Handelskammer für Deutschland e.V. Koordinator des Projekts DIGIT (DIGItal Transformation of Internationalization process), das durch die deutsche Nationale Erasmus+ Agentur NABIBB finanziert wird.
DIGIT ist als Antwort auf die COVID -19 pandemische Lage entstanden, die insbesondere von KMUs im Agrar-Sektor eine rasche Verstärkung der digitalen Kompetenzen im Verkaufs- und Marketingprozess verlangt hat. Diese Unternehmen mussten sich innerhalb weniger Wochen an digitalen Marketing-Strategien orientieren sowie neue online- oder hybride Veranstaltungen entwickeln und durchführen.
DIGIT zielt auf die Entwicklung von drei OERs Trainingsmaterialien (Open Electronic Resources) für Internationalisierungsexperten (e.g. Mitarbeiter von IHKs und Auslandshandelskammern) und für Internationalisierungstrainer (e.g. Lehrer bei Berufsschulen für den Außenhandel bzw. Ausbilder bei IHKs) ab.
DAS 1. TRAININGSMATERIAL: TOOLKIT#1
Das erste der drei OERs Trainingsmaterialien ist das Toolkit #1. Dieses Toolkit wird ein Leitfaden für Experten und Lehrende im Internationalisierungsbereich darstellen und u.a. folgende Inhalte thematisieren:
TESTER – REKRUITMENT FÜR TOOLKIT#1:
ITKAM sucht für das Toolkit#1 nach Testpiloten mit folgenden Profilen:
Die Internationalisierungsexperten werden das Toolkit#1 bei KMUs implementieren, die sie als Kunde betreuen. Lehrende werden die Inhalte des Toolkits#1 Ihren Lernenden vermitteln. Ausgewählte Testpiloten können im Voraus und kostenlos von allen drei OERs Trainingsmaterialien profitieren.
Das Toolkit#1 ist ein online-Kurs mit einer ca. 10-stündigen Lernzeit. Die Testung wird im September/Oktober 2022 stattfinden. Die verfügbaren Plätze für die Testung vom Toolkit#1 betragen:

In ganz Europa besteht ein Bedarf an innovativen Wegen, um junge Menschen in schwierigen Lebensumständen in die allgemeine und berufliche Bildung zu integrieren.
Auslandspraktika bieten große Chancen für Lernende, da sie sich positiv auf Lernleistung und Motivation auswirken, die Weiterentwicklung der Persönlichkeit unterstützen und die Chancen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt deutlich verbessern.
Das Erasmus+ Projekt InMobVET hat daher die folgenden Ressourcen entwickelt, um die Integration durch Mobilität zu
erleichtern:
Auf unserer Website (vet.eu-mobility.eu) können Sie beide Ressourcen als offene Bildungsressourcen
finden.
The PTI of Kortrijk started a collaboration with Pertersime (world’s largest producer of incubators) for the construction of a real chicken house as a test lab in the school.
VET students and teachers breed every 6 weeks 500 chickens from 50g to +/- 3kg under different but standardized conditions. They feed and do the 2 weekly weighing of the animals. The data generated here is the basis for studies on feed conversion.

Nach den erheblichen Einbußen im vergangenen Jahr im Zuge der Corona-Pandemie und ihrer Bekämpfung hat sich die aktuelle Lage auf dem Ausbildungsmarkt im Jahr 2021 nur leicht entspannt. Mit insgesamt 473.100 neu abgeschlossenen dualen Ausbildungsverträgen wurden 52.000 Verträge weniger abgeschlossen als noch 2019, vor der Corona-Pandemie.
Die Zahl der angebotenen Ausbildungsstellen lag 2021 bei 536.200, mehr als 40.000 weniger als 2019, vor der Corona-Pandemie (578.200).
Die Zahl der jungen Menschen, die eine duale Berufsausbildung nachfragten, ging im Vergleich zum Vorjahr nochmals um 4.800 (-0,9 %) auf 540.900 zurück. Die Ausbildungsplatznachfrage erreichte damit seit 1992 einen neuen Tiefstand, als die Daten für das wiedervereinigte Deutschland erstmals vorlagen.
Die Zahl der unbesetzten Ausbildungsstellen stieg dagegen weiter an und erreicht ein neues Rekordniveau. 63.200 Ausbildungsstellen blieben 2021 unbesetzt. Schon in den Jahren zuvor war die Zahl der unbesetzten Ausbildungsstellen stetig gestiegen (2019: 53.100, 2020: 59.900).
Nach Auffassung von BIBB-Präsident Friedrich Hubert Esser hatte die Corona-Pandemie den Ausbildungsmarkt auch 2021 fest im Griff. Die duale Ausbildung ist nach wie vor ein zentraler Bestandteil zur Qualifizierung der Fachkräfte von morgen. Dennoch ist die Verunsicherung durch die anhaltende Pandemie bei Betrieben wie auch bei den Jugendlichen spürbar. Ein zunehmendes Problem sei auch die stetig nachlassende Nachfrage an Ausbildungsplätzen durch die Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen. Denn da, „wo heute die Auszubildenden fehlen, fehlen morgen die Fachkräfte“ so Esser. Deshalb werde die Sicherung des Fachkräftebedarfs zu einer der größten Herausforderungen des aktuellen Jahrzehnts. Um diese Herausforderung zu meistern, bedarf es einer attraktiven und starken dualen Berufsbildung.
Thanks to the ENNE project, where Connectief and EGInA are partners. Last November, they were able to develop work placement activities for 10 Belgian students in Italy with the Erasdu mobility project. EGInA supported Connectief to research the best companies to host the learners.
The 10 students came from different sectors in the fields: “Care”, “Administration”, “Tourism”, “HORECA” and “Automechanics” of GOTalent (Dendermonde), Petrus en Paulus (Oostende), ZAVO (Zaventem), Atheneum Brakel, Atheneum Mortsel and HTISA (Gent).
The experience lasted 15 days and each student was able to work in companies in the area of Foligno (Umbria). They all expressed a positive opinion and underlined the importance of gaining experience abroad to grow professionally and personally.
Thanks to the companies that hosted the 10 students:
In Bulgaria, the school year starts in mid of September. Despite the global pandemic situation on 15 September 2021, all schools opened and welcomed all students for the 2021/2022 school year with strict consideration of the National epidemic measures.
The situation in Bulgaria in the last months was very dynamic and it tested on many occasions the flexibility of all schools and the overall preparation and reactions of the National system.
Despite all factors main driven power of the last 3 months was the motivation of the schools’ authorities, parents and students in close cooperation with the national bodies to ensure the learning is happening in a rather difficult situation. The schools and educational entities were to consider the local circumstances and National recommendations for the organization of the learning process. One major lockdown took all students out of schools in October-November.
For most of the Bulgarian schools that are part of the ENNE network the main focus in the last months was the local organization of the learning processes while introducing online, face-to-face or blended forms of teaching. Since the National regulations and COVID-19 measures were not easily predictable the schools and educational entities were to adapt, invent, cooperate and innovate new measures mainly focused on the local realities and specific needs in their schools’ communities.
Some of the Network members managed also to work beyond the basics and get involved in international activities, competitions and mobilities. PGEE Gylabovo also received VET accreditation for KA1 mobilities under Erasmus +.
The National network members also supported and were involved in the following ENNE project activities related to Job shadowing and VET learners mobilities.
After the beginning of a school year when anything was possible, reality has once again caught up with us. Vaccinations, unfortunately, do not make us invincible after all. Thanks to high vaccination rates, schools were able to teach as usual for a long time. However, the elementary school and their unvaccinated young students became the driving force behind the spread of the virus, forcing us to take new measures. The Christmas break was extended to 3 weeks. Once again, extracurricular outings have been banned and mouth masks have been made compulsory from the age of 6 (previously 12).
And yet!
In November, Connectief’s project ErasDu was able to send 71 students abroad for a 2-week internship. For the first time since the pandemic, this was possible again. The quality of the traineeship and the “appetite” of the students did not suffer from the pandemic. You can read that in the testimonials. The students and schools are enthusiastic and eager to get back on track in Europe in April 2022.
And yet!
Teachers are joining forces again to set up innovative teaching techniques and methodologies. VTIO Hoogstraten, for example, is developing a new HEV learning box for teaching about electric vehicles. With imec’s support, the school is bringing education and the professional field together to create a great innovative teaching tool.

Flemish schools are preparing (for the first time in 2 years) for a live Belfair. BELFAIR is the annual Belgian fair for virtual companies, organized by COFEP. It is usually one of the largest virtual company fairs in Europe. At a traditional BELFAIR we welcome more than 230 exhibitors and 2500 visitors, spread over 2 days. The exhibitors are virtual companies from secondary education, higher education and adult education.
And yet!
Students were able to follow important training courses and obtain certificates that facilitate their transition to the labor market, such as a training course in scaffolding construction after which students from directions such as construction, wood, … receive the certificate “working at height”.
And yet!
Have students undertaken intriguing experiments such as the development of a solar heater from empty soda cans.
Pupils are harvesting strawberries for the first time in their new greenhouses and are making plans for the operation of a store in the school.
Beautiful chairs are designed and made in the style of Gerrit Rietveld (NL).
A youth movement will be able to work in beautiful new buildings next year thanks to the students of a VET school.
Exams and final projects continue 😊
And now…
All options are open for 2022. The air is buzzing with activity and plans are brimming with innovativeness. Good COVID figures were wished for under the Christmas tree to make 2022 a banner year.
EGInA Srl in association with the NGO CRHACK LAB took part in the European Youth Event (EYE) for the 2021 edition, involving nine students from schools of the territory (such as ITE Scarpellini, part of the ENNE Network).
Promoted by the European Parliament, the European Youth Event (EYE) is a two-yearly international event aimed at young people that promotes debates and open discussion on today’s topics and challenges.
For the students, participation in EYE 2021 was the final step of a PCTO course promoted and financed by EGInA Srl and CRHACK LAB.
The path offered training sessions on the European Union institution and the 17 UN goals for Sustainable Development; students also participated in the Social Hackathon Umbria 2021.
The European Youth Event gave them the opportunity to experience these topics first-hand.
“This educational and international experience gave us the opportunity to get in touch with new cultures, realities and perspectives. We had the chance to visit new places and practise school subjects such as English and international law”.
Since April, the High School “Rocco Chinnici” of Nicolosi, in the province of Catania, has participated in the “Blended training course on Erasmus KA2 project proposal writing” of the Consortium ENNE online. The course ended with a series
The course ended with a series of activities in Foligno, in which the English teacher Rita De Vita participated.
In general, the activities proposed online were motivating and engaging and allowed a greater acquisition of skills regarding the various stages of planning and the new criteria of Erasmus plus.
The face-to-face course in Foligno allowed an accurate comparison between teachers from different European countries: Portugal, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy. This facilitated the comparison of different school systems with totally unique specificities. singular specificities. Each teacher had the opportunity to learn new planning strategies and each teacher had the opportunity to learn new design strategies and to contribute their own ideas, which differed according to the teaching discipline and the school system. The use of the English language as a vehicle has proved fundamental in the implementation of the different projects prepared for the other partners. of the different projects prepared for the other partners.
We all hope that this fruitful experience will be repeated in the future.
We all hope, therefore, that this fruitful experience can be repeated over time, perhaps allowing more teachers from each individual institute to take part in the course in question. We all hope that this fruitful and fruitful experience can be repeated over time, perhaps allowing a greater number of teachers from each individual institute to take part in the course.
