"The aim of the project was to maintain and develop the quality and effectiveness of student mobility in logistics and transportation sector in the participating Finnish vocational colleges. The national network consisted of 5 vocational colleges in Eastern Finland (LOG-EF network): SAKKY - Kuopio, YSAO - Iisalmi, PKKY - Joensuu, Esedu - Mikkeli and SAMI - Savonlinna. LOG-EF network had implemented international projects with good results also before, and these results were used as a foundation for this mobility project. International partner schools in this project were from Denmark, Norway and Croatia.The target group of the project was all logistics students of the Finnish colleges: both youngsters and adults, including also the students in apprenticeship training. Most of the participating students took part into two week long training modules in Denmark and Norway. Content of the training was professional: for example in Norway ""First aid and social regulations"". Some of the students carried out their practical training (4 weeks) abroad, in Denmark and Croatia. Training was organized in local transportation companies and offered an valuable experience of working in other European transportation company. All the participating students gained knowledge, competences and skills of international tranportation that they could not achieve in their own home school or even in their home country. Also a lot of teachers participated to mobilities, some of them only guiding students through their mobility experience - some having their first touch and understanding to international mobility and vocational training in foreign colleges. Concerning staff most important aim was to involve new teachers to international activities.As a result of this project many Finnish logistics students had a chance to gain professional skills abroad. The staff of colleges was as widely involved to the project as possible. Mobility was reciprocal: colleges from Denmark and Croatia sent their students to Finland via this international mobility network. The established network for international cooperation will continue to work together also after this project. All are sending students to each other's colleges via other mobility projects. Some of the colleges are also planning to apply a common strategic partnership project together later on."

"Strategy and Developments CHIC looks up its E+ Charter not just as an acknowledgement of its vision and mission to have as many students as possible participate in international activities. The provision of a menu of international activities to our students and staff implies a strong focus on quality, implementation, embedment and validation. Hence we like to describe our learning mobility as ""education in an international context (EIC) which implies that internationalization is a firm part of the primary process. The main development as a result is achieving validation and accreditation of achievements in an international context. Another development within the CHIC is providing opportunities for ambitious students to be excellent, e.g. by doing a work placement at a top hotel or company. Finally, CHIC intends to use the results of KA2 projects, such as EMEU and EMEU4ALL (Engineering Mobility in all vocational sectors) to further develop study modules and virtual cooperation at a distance. AOC Clusius College intents to submit an EMEU4GREEN project in 2018 after learning from the EMEU4ALL project and its predecessor, EMEU (see http://em-eu.eu). These developments offer a varied array for students to be internationally active in industry, at cooperation with and in VET schools,. For staff and management these activities provide opportunities to raise the level of professionalism and the further development of modern and attractive VET education. Scope of mobility Regarding expectations Mobility flows in 2017-2018, the CHIC partners have observed that the last two years the number of staff and students involved in physical exchanges, work placements and study modules abroad has risen sharply also owing to the professional organization of mobility and the menu of international activities. Due to this our combined KA1 subsidy is exhausted faster than ever before. Also, owing to more and differentiated promotional activities, in KA1 and KA2, the interest from students and staff increases fast. In KA2 the number of students who wish to do a study module abroad be it followed by a workplacement or not is increasing fast, particularly amongst 18- students. They look upon it as an opportunity to gain international experience before talking on a longer placement in industry. This implies that CHIC will have to consider how to handle the consequentions of the As a result of better involvement of local and regional industry we invite practitioners to visit our partner network and companies/institutes where our students do their work placements. We do not as yet expect the need for accompanying persons. More and more staff are involved in international activities, particularly those active in our KA2 projects. At Horizon College 10 teams, at IDCollege 4 teams are involved in this project. AOC Clusius is preparing a KA2 project based on the EMEU and EMEU4ALL project, namely EMEU4GREEN which will be submitted in 2018. This will again increase the number of staff involved in virtual and or physcial mobility. CHIC is facing a challenge in the near future when ROC ID College merges with ROC Leiden which will go into effect by August 2017. The number of students at ROC ID College will then go up by some 6,000 VET students. We have discussed this extensively with the Dutch National Agency who are aware of this acure challenge."

"CONTEXT/BACKGROUND The Social- and Health Care College wants to promote our students' international competencies in order to improve students' further training and employment possibilities. The College wants to encourage students to share their knowledge and professionalism in being a mobile workforce within the Child Care and Social and Health Care Sector. With its international approach the College aims at increasing the recruitment of students to attractive education programs and hereby provide appropriate challenges for the talented students.NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS 28 students within Child Care and 19 students within Health Care. Total 47 students.PARTICIPANT PROFILE The participants are young people or adults, mostly women, between 17 and approx. 40. They are in the process of an education within Child Care or Social- and Health Care. DECRIPTION OF ACTIVITIESOn the selected location, the Health Care students will carry out 4 weeks internship at a nursing home for elderly people and the Child Care students will carry out a 8 weeks internship at a children's institution, e.g. kindergarten. The students will work side by side with the permanent staff. As our students do have a high level of professionalism in their field, they will be able to inspire their foreign colleagues with new professionalism. Through this working experience the students will be able to reflect and see their professional skills in a new context and at the same time be more aware of their own working conditions in the Danish environment.METHODS USED TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT For each student the internship is individually planned and implemented in close cooperation with local partners in the Netherlands, Spain and England. The methods are planning, communication, evaluation and reportingDESCRIPTION OF THE PLANNED RESULTS AND EXPECTED IMPACT• The possibility to participate in international internship will attract more resourceful students to attend the education programs at the Social and health Care School• The students will strengthen their cultural, professional and personal skills• Through cultural encounters the students will gain an understanding of the conditions in the foreign country• The student will be able to handle it their own positions in an unfamiliar cultural context. Hereby the students acquire knowledge to ""think and act for themselves• The students are personally challenged, to establish a working day in a different context and culture than the Danish.• The students acquire greater clarity in their competence to act, because they are “forced"" to a deeper reflection on what she/he does in the internship situation because professional subjects needs to be explained , translated and disseminated to a supervisor from another culture.• The students will be aware of the differences between the Foreign and the Danish Health Care system.• Students will through an attachment to an English-speaking supervisor during the internship have practiced and used their English skills.• To give students the opportunity to understand and express the most basic words in Spanish and Dutch."

"The Municipal Vocational School for Manufacturing Technology Munich (BSFT) is implementing the project ""goMOVET - Mobility Across Europe V"" with the main activities `trainees / learners go to school institutions in Ausland' and` educational staff: learning stays by the Ausland'. As one of the key partners in the innovation transfer projects MOVET I and II BSFT looks back on a broad range of experience in the implementation of ECVET mobility. This background has led to the formation of a strategic partnership in KA2 project EMEU, in witch units of learning outcomes / modules are developed and carried out with a large number of partners. The activities are in direct context to these modules. The successes is now to be institutionalized in this expanded consortium of vocational schools.The consortium of cooperating vocational schools is built by:- Berufsschule für Fertigungstechnik in München (BSFT) (DE)- Technická akadémia in Spisska Nova Ves (TASNV) (SK)- Fundacion Eifor de la Comunidad in Valencia (XaBec) (ES)- Savon koulutuskuntayhtymä in Kuopio (Savo) (FI)- Horizon College in Hoorn (HC) (NL)- Bridgwater College in Bridgwater (BC) (UK)- Jyväskylän koulutuskuntayhtymä in Jyväskylä (GRADIA) (FI)- Ameria Eskola in Eibar (ES)- AARHUS TECH in Aarhus (DK). Objectives of the vocational school for manufacturing technology are there,- To extend the mobility of learners,- To provide mobility for teaching staff on a broader basis, - To intensify and to stabilize cooperation with partner institutions ,- To enhance the experience in the application of ECVET,- To improve the (specialized) language skills (English) of students and teachers,- To promote the exchange of units of learning outcomes (modules) between the partner schools,- To link the teacher training at the BSFT stronger with European work- To broaden horizons in the context of mobility to other Member States and partner institutions- To promote the commitment to lifelong learning among students and teachers as well- To increase the willingness to own involvement in European working with teachers.The foreign partners act as host organizations for both the learners in initial vocational training as well as for people from the educational staff. Participants for the mobility of students are recruited from students of the dual training in the metal sector and electrical engineering (industrial mechanics, mechatronics, machinist, manufacturing mechanics and precision mechanics). At the learning stays of education personnel abroad participate teachers in the metal and electrical engineering of BSFT and training staff from the dual training establishments in Munich.For the mobility of learners foreign vocational schools offer three-week units of learning outcomes / modules, which are developed according to the principles of ECVET. The intended learning outcomes (LE) range of the content of the compulsory curriculum for the respective German courses. Participants attend the end of the stay in the host institution an assessment attesting to the LE. The LE are validated and recognized in the home institution. To participate in this activity the trainees apply and be selected by the training establishments in consultation with the BSFT.The learning stays of educational staff differ in two types of mobility.On the one hand the BSFT sends teachers with learners for a short time to the receiving vocational schools. Here are the expansion of knowledge of the VET systems and didactic concepts and the intensification of contacts with partner schools in the foreground.On the other hand the BSFT offers smaller groups of teachers the opportunity to expand their professional and cultural skills in one-week stays at the partner schools . In this new project ideas to be developed and the cooperation in the consortium are amplified.Medium and long term we will make the possibility of learning stays at the partner schools abroad for students and educational staff to the standard in the educational program of the school, the vocational school for manufacturing technology."
