The ELLA project has been successfully completed by the Akademie Überlingen from June 2016 to May 2018.The following objectives have been achieved with our project:-Raising awareness for mobilities and reducing mobility barriers-Increasing and application of language skills within a real work and life environment-Improving quality, attractivity and performance in vocational training-Recognition of competencies and qualifications-Improving the level of competencies of vulnerable groups (disadvantaged youth, single parents, early school leavers, migrants, handicapped persons)-Reducing cultural barriers and prejudices-Implementing the European qualification framework-Opening enterprises to the idea of internationalization (think globally, act nationally)80 Learners (15 of which in government supported vocational training) and 5 Teachers were planned to take part in the project. 60 pool places were provided for leaners from all over Germany. 75 learners (16 of which from the government supported vocational training) actually took part and carried out a work experience stays from 1 to 4 weeks abroad. 4 teachers travelled once and 2 teachers travelled twice to Austria or England participating in the project.Our main aim was to enable learners from all professions to take part in the project and to carry out work experience in the European country of their choice. Surprisingly high was the number of participants travelling in groups. They were 60 (80%). For 3 of the groups an accompanying mentor was essential. Almost half of the participants stayed in English speaking countries. The main target countries of participants travelling alone were Irland, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey or Malta. All participants were happy with the support given by our partner organisations. They received a certificate and the Europass mobility after successful completion of their stay as recognition of the gained key competences, professional skills and qualifications. A new kick in their learning attitude combined with the application and expansion of their professional and social skills has given all participants better chances of long-term integration in the employment market.
