"The Cadiz City Council has successfully developed in the framework of the ERASMUS + 2016 program The project ""Cadiz Young Europeans II"", coordinated by the Institute of Promotion, Employment and training (IFEF) through the consortium for the mobility composed by the centers of Professional training SALESIANOS SAN IGNACIO SCHOOL, DRAGO HIGH SCHOOL, SAN SEVERIANO HIGH SCHOOL, COLUMELA HIGH SCHOOL, CORNELIO BALBO HIGH SCHOOL, ALBERTI HIGH SCHOOL, and FERNANDO QUIÑONES HIGH SCHOOL. This project, which has lasted 24 months, has counted with the participation of 76 participants in total (64 intermediate-level vocational training students and 12 teacher mobility), specifically:-50 students have made training in work centers (FCT) (16 were girls) in the countries of Italy, Malta, United Kingdom, Slovenia, Portugal, Czech Republic, Ireland, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.-14 Newly-Graduated students have done professional internships in Italy, Malta and Portugal, 5 of these students were girls.-12 teachers Mobility from the consortium's member centers in Holland, United Kingdom, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.Given the need to open the horizon of young people in the City of Cadiz to other possibilities, this project has contributed to generate professional, linguistic and personal competencies towards internationalization among the youngest, marking for most of them the first opportunity to develop what they learned outside of their city, knowing other ways to do and work.At the local level, the impact of this second mobility project that took place in the city of Cadiz, has exceeded all expectations regarding the participation of Vocational Educational Centers in a common project of internationalization of their students, as it can be seen in the increase of member educational centers of the current Consortium, which has more than double of those that were part of the first Project 2015, tripling also the number of mobility of students and Newly-Graduated students (of 23 in 2015, in this project have been managed 64). Similarly, this project has involved many benefits for the participants, bringing the experience of living in a foreign country, in a new environment and in an independent way, as well as acquiring new practical knowledge, which will serve them as professional experience that later, the labor market is going to demand to them. To highlight that through this project 1 student with special educational needs had the opportunity to make a mobility in Ireland, valuing the suitability of such mobility by the pedagogical team of the center and guaranteeing a tutoring in destination customized and adapted to the needs of this student. Other aspects to highlight are that 21% of participants have improved their language skills in English, Italian and Portuguese, 30% have found work at the end of mobility, and 20% of them have received some offer of Employment in the destination country.This project has a special relevance in order to consolidate the European internationalization plan that at municipal level is setting out in a shared way from the different educational agents of the vocational training and the local administration, reviewing the Following aspects:-Provides a solid and very participatory consortium, which is part of most Educational Vocational Training Centers in the municipality. The organization is formed by the Institute of Promotion, Employment and training of the city of Cadiz (IFEF), which acts as coordinator, and seven VET in the municipality of Cadiz that teach intermediate vocational training in the city and work as Entities for sending students and teachers to different mobility to European countries.-A large number of institutions and companies from 11 different countries are involved, working through networks that were launched with other European projects such as Leonardo Da Vinci. Specifically, it has worked with 64 direct host partners and 7 intermediary partners, remembering the collaboration with the counterpart centers of Holland, United Kingdom, Germany, Malta and France.-Represents a real opportunity for the improvement of the competencies of the students and the educational community."

<< Objectives >>The main goal of this project is to promote interest and excellence in STEM through a series of learning and teaching activities, both theoretical and practical, related to marine robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) and environmental protection and monitoring. We aim to raise awareness of marine environment issues and what marine robots and AI can do to monitor, protect, and mitigate the impact of anthropogenic pollution such as COVID-19-induced pollution.<< Implementation >>The project will be implemented through the following activities: lectures introducing marine robotics and artificial intelligence and their application to environmental issues, remote access to marine robots, testing of marine robots in environmental application scenarios at two transnational meetings, training of teachers and a dissemination event. The project will use blended learning with a series of remote lectures and in-person classes during transnational meetings.<< Results >>The most tangible project result will be a new course tailored for high school students on the use of marine robots for environmental applications. The project is expected to achieve a wider awareness on environmental issues that can be tackled by marine robots; a higher number of students attracted to STEM; an increased use of remote learning technologies; more similar cooperation and exchange initiatives.

Anne-Veaute Vocational high school hosts about 600 students and apprentices; we provide trainings from levelV (NVQ 1 / 2)to level III (higher BTECH diplomas) in the areas of paramedical and services: Trade, Reception and Relationship to Costumers, Health and Social Care, Orthotics and Prosthetics, and Optics.So the students involved in the placements abroad are mainly students in 2nd year or third year BTEC Diploma either studying in Health and social care, Reception, trade or Prosthetics.They are mostly from disadvantaged social backgrounds and the prospect of an internship in a European country is an extra motivation to their training. European mobility allows candidates to gain maturity and autonomy from the position held, which is profitable to their professional and personal development, as they are in contact with different professional cultures and techniques. We are planning a mobility of 24 participants for the period 2015-2017 which means 12 students per year, in Spain, Italy, Ireland and GermanyBefore going to placements abroad, participants benefit from specific training in cultural and linguistic skills.For actual placements, they are supervised by two of the Erasmus – Europe team, who give them the appropriate advice on the spot. The teaching team involved in the exchanges is in contact with the partners of the host country (high schools). In some cases, we go to meet the persons in charge to develop new partnership or to consolidate the contacts we already have.During the placements, we permanently remain in contact with our school partners, Europe coordinators, tutors to make sure everything goes smoothly. At the end of work placements, the vocational teacher together with the language teacher go to meet the tutors in order to assess the trainees over the period. (Europass and professional assessment chart)What is expected from this experience, is that students can become more autonomous, aware of professional know-how and get really involved in their training, being responsible citizens able to share their experience with peers and families. Finally, this project brings together positive energies, leads to new teaching practices and enhances the image of Anne Veaute High School, at the school level but also with the families institutions, town council, etc. More generally, as far as young people are concerned, to a certain extent it helps to give meaning to the concept of the European Union.

The Title of the Project: Qualification practice ES – Contribution to the industrial development.The aims of the project:1.Students and the Professional training teachers will develop their skills and specialty.2. Familiarization with EU and world`s standards` system.3. Improvement of foreign languages and communication.The description of the project:12 students of the 3rd and 4th course of Mechanics and Technology College of Olaine participated in the project. The environmental technicians, biotechnology assistants and chemical and biochemical industry`s equipment mechanics have both good theoretical and practical knowledges, but there was a lack of working skills with modern equipment and devices which are not usually available in Latvia. Four professional subject teachers improved their qualification level too.Importance and realisation of the project:Latvia as the part of EU can be in the same ecomomic developement level as another EU countries. This is the main reason for serious improvement necessity in many fields of Latvia economic. Our educational institution teaches and prepares ascendant biotechnologists, environmental technicians etc. These are specialities which, in Latvia possible to learn just in the Mechanics and Technology College of Olaine. Therefore, we have to consummate and develop the learning process for preparing competitive workers in fields of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology manufacturing.Nowadays, a successful worker is a person with not only theoretical knowledge, but also with practical skills, good communication ability (here we must mark also communication skills in foreign languages). During the mobilties, students and the professional subjects teachers will get to know and operate both with newest equipment, devices and must be able to communicate in foreign languages. The mobilities can be successfully realized from April, 2016 till June, 2017 by cooperating with the partners in Germany which equipment and technical possibilities will let the members of the project realize project`s aims.Actitvities: Graduates of our colledge could handle with the newest laboratory equipment, work with the newest technologies. Training practice programs are necessary to realize in the most experienced EU countries with high level professional education`s institutions as well as private enterprises. Realization of the project gives a chance for students work by using newest equipment and devices. Our graduates would have a higher competing opportunity in the labour market.Results:Members of the project, by working with the newest technologies, equipment and devices, using new information technologies, will acquire new skills which they can use for work in companies and enterprises. Otained knowledges will be transfered between classmates and teachers.Realization of the project will have positive impact to learning process as well as structure of College education programs. Students of Biotechnology and Environmental protection programmes worked practically in Schulzentrum des Sekundarstufe II Utbremen - Europaschule labs, visited criminalistics laboratory in Hamburg. Student of Engineermechanics programme improved practical skills in Berufsfortbildungswerk Gemeinnützige Bildungseinrichtung des DGB GmbH, teachers particpated in Schulzentrum des Sekundarstufe II Utbremen - Europaschule laboratory works and afterwords sharerd their own experience with colleagues. All project participants received Eurpass Mobility certificates. As indirect winners must be mentioned enterprises, laboratories which will starts labour relations with our graduates. The main conclusion is, that aims as well as the results of the project was obtained.

This project was primarily about providing and executing high quality 3-week internships for the full-time apprentices of all 8 assistant trainings in different european countriesThe European School S II Utbremen with over 1,800 pupils and 130 colleagues trains in the state of Bremen in the field of IT, science and economics:-dual (optometrists, chemical laboratory technicians, all IT professions, paint lab technicians, tax consultants) and- full-time in 8 different 2-year assistant courses (biology, chemistry, information technology, mathematics, pharmacy, physics, economics, foreign languages ​​and information processing)It is also possible to gain qualifications that qualify for a degree course (double qualification for general higher education entrance qualification + assistant training, theoretical area of ​​technical college and vocational college)Since 2003 we participate in European exchange programs, are certificated since 2007 as the European School of the State of Bremen and since 2016 as an ErasmusPlus Mobiliätscharta school.
