Let’s Explore Our Cultural Heritage with Technology and Art

The meetings between the pupils of two first years of the secondary school of I.O. Pestalozzi (lead school) and their “colleagues” from four schools in four European countries – Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania and Turkey – participating in the Erasmus Plus Project “Let’s Explore our Cultural Heritage with Technology and Art” have just ended.

This KA2 project foresees four mobilities, which for obvious reasons are currently suspended, of small groups of 6 students, accompanied by 2 teachers, over a period of 24 months.

During these short virtual tours in three of the five countries involved, the first stop was “our beautiful Sicily”. The meeting was coordinated by the Headmaster, prof. ssa Elena Di Blasi, who is making internationalization one of the bulwarks of her management and teaching activities: “I started working on Erasmus Plus, together with the partner schools, in the middle of the Lockdown – says the headmistress – a year ago, despite all the concerns, I took on the coordination of the application for this project. A seed planted in the “middle of winter” is timidly beginning to appear on the fringes of this spring: a small taste of what we all hope will once again become a real journey. Stay tuned!”

DigiFrame: Teachers’ Framework on Digitalisation & Innovation

Syntra West and Syntra Limburg started this Erasmus + project in March 2021. With partners from Denmark, Finland and Ireland, we focus on the digital skills of our teachers.

We are developing a 360° Assessment Tool to map digital skills among teachers and a personal learning path to strengthen these skills. We are investigating how to strengthen the innovative climate within our organizations.

Knowledge gained within the project will be shared online and through events in the partner countries.

Pedagogical Restaurant

During this time of pandemic and remote teaching, good practices had to be reinvented.

The distance prevents us from smelling the smells and feel the textures, as well as tasting the flavors of the different dishes produced by the Cookery/Pastry students, which would be more complete with the harmonization of the drinks proposed by the Restaurant-Bar students.

However, thanks to the work done by the Multimedia students, the Escola Secundária de Felgueiras present the Pedagogical Restaurant.  

Teachers and students (current and former students) of the Vocational Courses of Cookery/Pastry, Restaurant-Bar and Multimedia are involved in this project.

FICA Project

DCIM100MEDIADJI_0054.JPG

The FICA project (Fight Against Absenteeism / School Dropout) began in September 2019 as way of responding to the goals of the educational project, which aims at reducing the students’ absenteeism and dropout and, consequently, increase the successful completion of the courses attended.

At the moment, FICA consists of a psychologist and four teachers from the Escola Profissional Dr. Francisco Fernandes (www.enneproject.eu/schools/instituto-para-a-qualificacao-ip-ram/) that, together with the course coordinators/mediators and the parents, try to manage deviant or risky behaviors that may compromise school success. 

With this team, trainees can find a trusting environment where they can freely share their problems, thus allowing the definition of joint strategies that seek the improvement of their school situation.

European Strategic Plan Implementation : “Web Marketing Accelerator” training course

Into the Erasmus+ KA3 Digital Tourism Project, the High School “Scarpellini” (Foligno-Italy) organises a training course on “Web Marketing Accelerator”.

The course will be lead by Valentina la Magna, teacher at the school and expert in Web Marketing. The course is organised in 10 classes totalling 30 hours – 3 hours per lesson. The first part is focused on theorical studies which will be followed by practical exercises to allow the students to achieve the necessary skills to work on the High School’s social editorial plan until the end of the school year.
The tutor and other teachers will monitor all students.

The main mission is to guide all students to develop a web marketing strategy to be used in the tourism sector. They’ll have a work experience in the related enterprises and they’ll acquire skills to be used in the labour market. The first four modules are focused on the web competencies: introduction, communication styles, advertising in 2020 and CRM (Customer Relationship Management – a process in which a business or another organisation administers its interactions with customers, usually using data analysis to study large amounts of information). The course will begin shortly and fourth- and fifth-grade students will get involved. The internationalization plan developed by school allows to include all different activities that will be carried out by the school. The skills the students will acquire within the course on Web Marketing will be immediately applied. When they will conclude their studies at school they will be involved in work experiences abroad – in July and August 2021.
The opportunity is within the European Project KA116 “W.I.I.P. Widenening Inclusion and Internationalization Plan” and allows the fifth-grade students to have a five-week trasnational work experience in specialised enterprises. Fourth-grade students will instead implement what they have learned next year. In the meanwhile, they will go on by updating all school communication channels. In September and October 2021 they will be included within the KA116 UPVET, Carta della mobilità (Mobility Card), and they will have a five-week work experience abroad in specialised enterprises as well.

Presentation of the National Calls for VET Staff and Learners

The European Commission states that “education, training, youth work and sport are key to promote common European values, foster social integration, enhance intercultural understanding and a sense of belonging to a community and to prevent radical radicalisation”.

The Erasmus+ programme, besides of enhancing the academic and professional course of its participants, also improves the knowledge of new cultures, new languages, intercultural communication and interaction, and the sense of what it is like to be a European citizen.

The mobility actions for VET learners and staff strengths the employability of its participants, facilitates entrance in the labour market and it also foster their personal development.

The ENNE project has as an objective the enhancement of VET quality and attractiveness, with a specific focus on mobility opportunities. VET staff and learners will be encouraged to take part in VET mobility experiences. Each country will make available mobility grants for learners willing to take part in a WBL experience abroad and for job-shadowing activities for teachers. These mobility experiences aim at the:

  • Promotion of peer-learning methodologies among VET staff;
  • Promotion of the acquisition of soft skills for VET learners;
  • Promotion of WBL (Work Based Learning) and mobility for VET learners and staff.

With this is mind, the project partners will soon launch two national calls: one for VET Staff and one for VET Learners.

Internal call for VET teachers to apply for a Job-shadowing activity abroad; followed by the evaluation, selection and implementation of the Job-shadowing experience:

Most of teachers have little to no experience in careers outside of education and may have difficulty to understanding clearly how students will apply the knowledge and skills acquired during their academic courses. Because of this, activities such as Job-shadowing based on best practices can be of great value for these teachers. The implementation of Job-shadowing abroad aims at:

  • Give teachers the opportunity to observe and learn the best practices developed in other EU countries;
  • Inspire new ideas for teaching in VET;
  • Give hosting organisation the opportunity to interact with a teacher coming from another country and discuss about today’s educational challenges and opportunities;
  • Create/strengthen connections between teachers and the potential partners capable of providing them with expertise and resources for their classrooms and schools.

Internal call for WBL experiences abroad for VET Learners, followed by the evaluation, selection and implementation of the WBL experiences:

Transnational mobility aimed at acquiring new skills is one of the fundamental ways through which individuals, particularly young people, can strengthen their future employability and foster their personal development. VET enables these young learners to acquire the knowledge, skills and experience they need to succeed in the labour market, whether for a specific job or for a wider range of occupations.

Based on the experience and on the inspiration of role models videos, previously developed and released by the project partners, VET learners will apply for this call, presenting their own Work Based Learning project.

These two national calls will be directed to the associated partners of the 5 National Networks ENNE (Portugal, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, and Belgium). Teachers and learners will have to submit their applications, which will be evaluated by the project partners, and the selected participants will have the opportunity to participate in the mobility activities, offered by the ENNE project.

Partnerschaften für Work Based Learning

workbasedlearning

“Creating VET business partnerships for WBL” ist eines der Erasmus+ Projekte, an dem die Wisamar Bildungsgesellschaft in Leipzig beteiligt ist. Das Projekt soll Partnerschaften zwischen Berufsschulen und Unternehmen in Nordmazedonien, Griechenland, der Türkei und Bulgarien entwickeln, um Berufsschülern Praktika anzubieten, in denen sie berufsbezogenes Lernen erleben können.
Da die Berufsausbildung in diesen Ländern immer noch sehr theoretisch und schulbasiert ist, haben die Schüler:innen keine Möglichkeit, ihre Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen in einem realen Arbeitsumfeld zu erproben und zu entwickeln. Auf der anderen Seite ist in Deutschland und den Niederlanden, zwei weiteren am Projekt beteiligten Partnerländern, ein duales System in der Berufsausbildung voll etabliert. Deutsche und niederländische Auszubildende verbringen einen großen Teil ihrer Berufsausbildung in einem Ausbildungsbetrieb und werden nach Beendigung ihrer Ausbildung oft zu festen Mitarbeitern des Unternehmens.

Um die deutschen Erfahrungen mit dem dualen System zu teilen, organisiert Wisamar eine Schulung in Leipzig für Vertreter aller beteiligten Organisationen. Diese soll im Mai 2021 stattfinden, aufgrund der aktuellen Situation möglicherweise nur online. Experten für das duale System werden den Teilnehmern nahe bringen, wie man Partnerschaften mit Unternehmen aufbaut und wie man Lehrer:innen und Mentor:innen aus den Unternehmen ausbildet, damit sie erfolgreich Praktika für die Schüler:innen organisieren können. Die Praktika in Nordmazedonien, Griechenland, der Türkei und Bulgarien werden im Sommer 2021 stattfinden.

Außerdem erstellt Wisamar zusammen mit den Partnern eine Online-Plattform, die sowohl von den Unternehmen als auch von den Schüler:innen genutzt werden soll. Die Plattform wird ein Ort sein, an dem sich die Auszubildende mit ihren Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen vor ihren zukünftigen Arbeitgebern präsentieren und die Unternehmen das berufsbezogene Lernen der Schüler:innen bewerten können.

Die niederländische Partnerorganisation Dutch Foundation of Innovation Welfare 2 Work unterstützt das Projekt durch einen Lernleitfaden für Schulen und Unternehmen und Lerntagebücher für Schüler:innen. Die anderen Partner in diesem Projekt sind die Stiftung “Nikola Kljusev” aus Nordmazedonien, Institute of Entrepreneurship Development aus Griechenland, Osmaniye Provincial Directorate of National Education aus der Türkei und Horizont ProConsult ltd. aus Bulgarien. Das Projekt läuft von Oktober 2020 bis März 2022.

VET Digipals

vet_digipals
International exchange “light”
To share VET learning experiences internationally and digitally with (student) colleagues abroad. Is that possible? And how do you get started?
 
It can easily be done via the VET DigiPals approach, in a few simple steps: 
 
Step 1. Find the learning experience you want to share
In this step you involve your (fellow) students as much as possible: together you look for a learning experience that you find interesting to share. This can really be anything: a product, an approach or technique, a part or ingredient, an instrument or tool.

Below we give some examples for inspiration:
Students from the 7th year of Childcare at a Flemish school are given the assignment to develop a kamishibay (Japanese storytelling theater), with an accompanying story bag. They present the development process and the results digitally and in French to fellow students in a French-speaking school.
Students from the last year of “Marketing” from a school in Barcelona work out a marketing plan in digital collaboration with and for a Flemish VET-school, involving the students of the school.
Apprentices from the “Traiteur” course from a school in Northern France convert a regional recipe into a dish and share it digitally with Flemish apprentices.
Welders from a school in Rome digitally show how they restore antique metalwork to apprentice welders from a Flemish school who are mainly active in shipbuilding and repair. Then it is the turn of the Flemish welders to share one of their specific arts with the welders from Rome.
 
Step 2: Briefly introduce your idea to us
You can quickly pass on your idea to us via an online form. In this form we ask for some contact details, the preferred language in which you want to share your idea, and ask the following question: “Which part of your training process do you want to share and with whom (teachers, students, …)? Do you already know how? ”
You can find this form here. Please use Google translate to translate the form. Your answers can be in your native language.
 
Step 3: We will contact you to support you in the further development of your idea, and to look for a partner school together with you.
We will find out, among other things, how to internationalize the sharing of the learning experience, and support you in looking for and consulting with a foreign partner. In this way a concrete planning is established.
 
Step 4: Do!
You organize the digital learning sharing experience, together with the foreign partner. We are happy to be there as support and to learn from your experience.
 
Step 5. You participate in a short evaluation of the experience
We do a short survey of your experience, to learn more from this and to take that knowledge with us in the further development of the VET DigiPals concept.
Interested? Convinced? Fill out the online form or contact ben.bruyndonckx@connectief.be for more information.

An internship in a practice enterprise

learning_doing
Young people in co-working space

There have been major changes in the labour market in the past year and the practice enterprise has not missed the boat as a business-oriented,
didactic solution. COFEP has adapted to the changing circumstances and the needs of the contemporary education and training landscape and creates, together with the schools involved, a tailor-made solution, both online and offline. It is therefore possible to organize a practice enterprise (partly) from home or in a classroom setting.

COFEP offers a full alternative to internships: a practice enterprise with tasks and assignments according to the objectives of the internship and the training.
A Practice Enterprise is a trainee-run company that operates as a real business. It silhouettes a real enterprise’s business procedures, products and services. A Practice Enterprise resembles a real company in its form, organisation and function.
We provide schools with a full order book, an active mailbox and a network with other practice enterprises to put administrative, commercial, financial and logistical profiles to work. The school or training centre provides an internship supervisor or mentor who does the day-to-day follow-up of the students, gives them feedback and eventually evaluates them, just like an external internship. COFEP takes care of the training and support of the supervisor.

Within COFEP, the Belgian network of practice enterprises is promoted. The practice enterprise is a learning company within a simulated economy, ranging from retail businesses to wholesale businesses, from marketing companies to transport companies, from  contact centres to accounting firms. 

The trainees are prepared for the real business world by putting them to work in practice enterprises. Their entrepreneurship is stimulated by immersing them in a business reality with ERP business processes and national and international collaborations. Worldwide, there are more than 7 000 virtual companies run by trainees from secondary education, higher education and adult education. 

A traditional internship in a real company was particularly hard to come by this autumn. Thanks to COFEP’s practice enterprises, schools were able to create challenging workplaces for all their students. They learned a wide variety of things on the job, from processing orders in ERP software to negotiating in a foreign language with native speakers. The trainees are given a wide variety of tasks to handle and take responsibility for their own virtual company.
