Students called to humanize the economy

On 20th of February 2020 in the Auditorium of Foligno (IT) the students of ITE “Scarpellini” took part to the “Economy of Francesco” event.
The meeting is part of the big call by the Pope to all young world economists during the last years to create a humanized economy.

The focus was the importance to return the economy more humanesustainable  and humanly engaged by putting non-capitalist values at the centre, but aimed at the well-being of the human being and equity.

The discussion was based on the need to care for the land but also the necessity to upgrade professional skills according to a rapidly changing reality of market labour and the distance between the needs of society and the business objectives we find in the books school.

The event was the prepping for the appointment on march 2020 in Assisi (IT) (it’s actually postponed on november 2020), where the Pope will meet young economists from all over the world to discuss the future of economy

The course was divided in three different meetings and it was organized following a practical methodology. The students had the possibility to meet professional experts who actively involved the young participants, inviting them to test themselves in real life simulations of the labour market.

L’animation “Ta voix, ton choix, à toi de voter!”

L’Athénée Royal Bruxelles 2 est une école de la Communauté française de Belgique. Ce pouvoir organisateur a défini des missions prioritaires pour tous les élèves qui suivent son enseignement. L’une d’elles consiste à préparer les élèves à devenir des “citoyens responsables, capables de contribuer au développement d’une société démocratique, solidaire, pluraliste et ouverte aux autres cultures” (décret du 27 juillet 1997). 

C’est dans ce cadre que tous les élèves suivent une heure de cours obligatoire de philosophie et citoyenneté, quelle que soit l’option suivie. C’est grâce au professeur de cette discipline qu’une sortie a été organisée pour les élèves de 5e technique assistant(e)-pharmacien(ne) au Parlement Bruxellois.

Organisée au sein de l’hémicycle du Parlement Bruxellois, l’animation “Ta voix, ton choix, à toi de voter !” a permis aux élèves de siéger à la place des députés. Après une présentation des institutions politiques belges, des partis politiques, de leurs couleurs et des compétences régionales, les élèves ont été pris en charge en petits groupes afin de créer leur propre parti et établir leur programme. Ils ont ensuite défendu leurs trois priorités pour leur région, devant l’ensemble des jeunes. Un scrutin a ensuite été organisé, les faisant passer du rôle d’élu à celui d’électeur. Il s’agit d’une expérience participative très enrichissante qui permet à nos jeunes élèves,
bientôt en âge de voter, de comprendre et de s’approprier les enjeux des élections dans leur pays.

ENNE Project Meeting: KoM in Italy

ENNE Project started in 2019 and the first face-to-face meeting (KoM) was organized in Foligno, Italy by the project coordinator at EGInA Srl.
During the KoM in Foligno, all Partners – that are: EGInA for Italy, Belerasm for Belgium, WISAMAR for Germany, ECQ for Bulgary and ARTS&SKILLS for Portugal – discussed all the strategies, opportunities and next steps to be implemented in the future.

ENNE Project offers great opportunities for Students, Teachers and other Stakeholders to be involved in. The main mission is to create mobility and good connections in terms of VET (Vocal Education Training).
What have ENNE Partners conceived? They seized the need of Europe and put into practice their knowledge, based also on education and training experiences.

The speed at which the society moves requires continuous adjustments and new tools to cope with the demand of cooperation and improve VET quality and attractiveness.

How do we understand this changeProviding European citizens with the necessary skills to better meet the rapidly changing needs of labour markets. Following the guidelines of Copenhagen Declaration in 2002The Bruges Communiqué 2011-2020 and according to the 2015 Riga Conclusions on VET and to the medium Term of Deliverables for 2015-2020VET providers should:

  • Promote work-based learning in all its forms;
  • Develop quality assurance mechanisms in VET in line with the EQAVET recommendation. Transnational mobility for VET to acquire new skills is one of the fundamental ways through which individuals can strengthen their employability as well as their personal development (European Commission 2009).

The ENNE Project objectives derives from the cooperation among project partners who are currently implementing an Erasmus+ KA2 project in the field of VETINTOQUALITY – Association of Quality Intermediary Organizations Fostering Mobility in Europe – starts from the idea that the internationalization strategy for VET providers contributes to the flexibility and employability of the European labour force

In each country ENNE Project has already identified 5 VET providers (mostly VET schools EQF4) representing the initial core of the National Networks involved as associated partners and they have already committed themselves to establishing the network if the project will be selected for funding.
