Based on a meeting of professionals in 2017 in Spain (Lleida), the project aims to enhance and step up the exchange already in progress towards a structured, cross-disciplinary professional dialogue. Expanding the project physically by the Italian region of Rovereto and by including Don Milani vocational high school with its focus on social services and health as a new partner is an important step to reach this goal. Target groups are counselling centres and management of early child education, care and education, teachers at vocational schools as well as representatives of providers and professional staff of local administration. The project will help to bring on cross-disciplinary discourse and understanding between the players involved in light of expanding the capacities for care and support, and improving the quality of child day care. A special focus is on introducing digital technologies in early child education, care and education. Expanding child day care means quantity as well as quality of early child education, care and education. Therefore, linking practical and theoretical aspects in vocational training and development receives special attention. This will provide the possibility to identify new social developments and challenges from a practical point of view and include these topics to vocational curricula. In addition to a high-quality professional training in theory and practice, an important point is raising the interest of trainees-to-be for the social profession and creating strong ties with this field of work. Topics will be considered within a European context and discussed with Spanish and Italian professional staff. Among other things, the participants will gain from reviewing their own attitudes, considering other perspectives, learning from European partners and broadening their knowledge through constructive cooperation while stepping up their own professional process. To achieve this, strengthening of intercultural competences, of techniques and cooperation skills as well as European skills is essential and will be especially fostered during the course of the project. Within the time period of the project, a learning activity will be held in each of the partnering countries with the aim that participants get to know each other and the local socio-cultural aspects and take part in an exchange on the scheduled key issues in formal settings such as presentations and lectures as well as part of training visits and talks. This will also provide opportunities for informal dialogues beyond professional issues and may relate to local culture and circumstances of the towns and countries involved. This will support friendly contacts and encounters. With long-term significance of the project in mind, structures of communication and interaction as well as networking with our partners will be improved and continued, and where possible expanded to other European countries. Digital networking and awareness for the European dimension in early child education will be firmly and sustainably fixed in the participating partners' routines to ensure continued and successful cross-border cooperation and a constructive, joint handling of challenges in the future. In this way, we aim to facilitate the long-term process of European experience and cooperation.
