MBO Utrecht presents Talent Development Europe #3 (see ‘Annex TDE#3 The Logic Model' for a visual summary):For MBO Utrecht the development of everyone’s talent is a key objective of all activities. We believe that, in order to stimulate this, MBO Utrecht needs to offer a dynamic and relevant environment in the classroom, on the work floor and during (international) internships and other activities. Also, MBO Utrecht intends to enlarge the employability in the current and future (international) labour market for all students. To effectuate this impact, we need to get inspired and learn beyond borders, and explore the opportunities for our students on the European labour market. To achieve these objectives, MBO Utrecht needs an international dimension for learners and staff. For the period of 2019-2023 MBO Utrecht committed itself to these three organisation goals, where all our activities have to contribute to:1. Improving the quality of educational activities2. Involving the outside world3. Appreciating differencesWe believe that international experiences provide learners (intercultural) knowledge, skills and competencies, which cannot be acquired in another way. As a result, learners enlarge their changes at the (international) labour market. Furthermore, international experiences, contribute to more secure, independent learners with strong intercultural competencies, who have the tools to be active European citizens. International experiences for staff contribute to new insights on teaching, pedagogy, curriculum and the working field. In order to improve the quality of educational activities, we need to learn with and from each other, get inspired and learn beyond borders. Also, internationalisation contributes to the movement of involving the outside world. It will provide staff with a deeper insight in intercultural issues and tools on how to approach these matters. To insure this, TDE#3 is incorporated in the HR-policy regarding professionalisation of staff. Following the experiences within projects TDE#1 and TDE#2, the project TDE#3 focusses on:1) incorporating internationalisation in regular educational activities2) enhancing international internships of learners3) enhancing international job shadowing of staff4) incorporating European experts in the professionalisation of staffTDE#3 will work with 8 partners:Haapsalu Kutsehariduskeskus - EstoniaLinnaeus University - SwedenMallorca Works - SpainTurun Ammatti Instituutti - FinlandEcole de ski Prosneige in Les Menuires – FranceBuddies Dive Cove - MaltaUniversity of the Highlands and Islands - Perth College - Scotland UKSitel Group - BulgariaActivities:VET-SHORT - Short term mobility of VET learnersDNA on Tour: 12 UK, 12 SETalent Discovery Trip: 24 EEDIVE, SNOW, SKI: 20 MT, 20 FRSocial and Health Care Trip: 10 FIVVET-PLONG - Erasmus PRO- long term mobility of VET learnersInternship for students of all academies MBO Utrecht: 24 (i.a.)
