Expectations for future collaborations

Felgueiras Secondary Schools intends to invest in international cooperation projects in the area of VET either based on the mobility of VET students, either based on the exchange of good practices between teachers; or in knowledge production in the field of VET, namely KA2 projects.
The school is also interested in eTwinning cooperation projects.
We are also available to receive students from European partners in KA1 mobility, at our school or involve our partners from companies.

Expectations regarding the profile of staff to host

The activities were designed mainly to be aimed at teachers of Kitchen, Hospitality, Health Care and Sports.
However, an important set of activities may be interesting for any teacher in the field of VET that is involved or interested in knowledge sharing and production in the areas of citizenship, gender equality, relationship with business partners and the use of technologies in education.
The concrete proposal may be adjusted to the expectations of the partner interested in carrying out with us this Job Shadowing adventure.
