Our school is a traditional vocational training institution located in the town of Varpalota, Hungary. At present, we are training about 500 students at secondary technical and vocational levels. Trade-marketing and mechanics are the most numerous ones among the various professional fields provided. Logistics also need to be mentioned as a dinamically developing branch. In the past few years, we took part in several mobility programmes involving the teachers and students from some of the fields mentioned above. The experiences of these projects, just like our students and colleagues facing the increased requirements, motivate us to take part in it right from the first phase of ERASMUS+ that is initiated in 2014. This year’s tender contains mobility activities of 2017-18. While the project two partners have been chosen, which are familiar with European projects and are also known through common work and programmes. With both partners we have a letter of intent, which proves the cooperation with us in the realization of the tender.The participating partners in the cooperation: Nova Gradiska Vocational School, Croatia; JEDU, Finland;The Croatian school was a partner of our mobility programme in the school year of 2014-15 and 2015-16, too. The relationship with our Finnish partner is also intense, this partner is experienced and its versatile profile makes it capable of guiding our international engagement and reaching our goals of modernisation. Since our Croatian and Finnish partners are also planning to implement mobility projects in our institution, our project is based on the principle of mutuality. Our project includes the following elements:The programme implemented with our Croatian partner: in March 2018 eight students of metalwork and 4 students of trade and business will take part in a 21-day-long practical training in the Croatian Vocational School. According to the work-programme, the training should be accomplished in the school workshop throughout the first two weeks, while the rest of the training will take place in a workshop of a local industrial park provided by the partner institution on the fifth workday of the third week. During the training period, a project work-like mutual activity will take place working together with the students of the partner institution. The most important activities of the training will be metal training, producing metal parts; alternative energy, usage of solar energy, wind energy, gas pipe fitting, installing gas measuring devices, pipe fitting tasks. Students will be helped by a teacher attending the mobility. The programme implemented with the Finnish partner: in February 2018 six students of trade and business/logistics and six students of electrotechnics and electronics will take part in a 28-day-long practical training in the schools of JEDU (Finnish Educational Institution). According to the work-programme, the training should be accomplished in the school workshop in the first and fourth weeks, in the second and third weeks the rest of the training will take place in a workshop of a local industrial park. The travel itself is preceded by a substantial pre-training. After choosing the participants, we have constructed a four-week long syllabus for the students. In case of an active student and teacher participation and a successful tender, exercising mutual influence and synergy should be emphasised as connected to our mobility activities. Getting people acquainted with the expected influence and results of the mobility, a wide-scale popularisation and aiming for the most useful application of them has high priority for us. We expect the programme to reinforce our colleagues and students’ devotion to their fields of profession on the short run. It is also expected that members of both target groups develop themselves and their needs towards more modern methodologies, accept the role of European mutual work on a higher level, our teachers’ knowledge of methodology widens, and our students’ professional knowledge and command of a foreign language should also be developed. On the long run, we expect the newly gained pedagogical knowledge to be implemented in the practical education. The European level of professional knowledge, skills and competences are required to be acquired and used on a high level, while taking them into consideration when changing the vocational syllabus or the structure itself. The attitude of enterprises providing facilities for practical training shall also change on the long run. We would like to develop the attitude of our present-day students, making a better public opinion of the school while increasing the number of enrolling students at the same time, and we also aim to provide a better reputation of the activities available in our institution. We do aim to take part in further projects of ERASMUS+ while making the mobility activities and their consequences key elements of the structural culture of our school.
