"Our project is called ,,Strengthening Vocational Education in VA with European cooperation” and it´s objectives are to take VA´s first steps in European cooperation within the Erasmus + program. Our vision is that European cooperation will become a part of studying and working in VA, that students and staff have the opportunity to participate in international cooperation, whether in the case of going abroad or receiving foreign visitors. For the next two years we plan to work in that direction by taking the steps that are decribed in the project. The project has two angles. On the one hand it relates to professional development of teachers with ""job shadowing ""visits to European partners that offer similar trades in education as we do in VA. The other angle has to do with students and is about giving them the opportunity for mobility by doing traineeships in vocational institutes abroad, in the school Mercantec in Jutland in Denmark. That part of the project gives mobility options to five participants; four students and one accompanying teacher. Professional development of teachers will be carried out with three VET school partners in Europe, Mercantec in Denmark, Berufsbildende Schulen 1 Goslar - Am Stadtgarten in Germany and Intergrado Centro de Formación Profesional Pico Frente in Spain. We also intend to develop further cooperation with these trips and then with future mobility for student in mind.Three teachers will go to Denmark, four teachers to Germany and three will visit Spain. The partnership we intend to build in this project will though not be ""one-sided"" since we will also be hosting visitors from the schools we´re building partnership with, both students who´ll be doing traineeships in our school as well as teachers who´ll be doing job-shadowing visits in our school."
