During the project 72 students completed a mobility period the average length was 41,6 days. Participants were from 18 different study fields and aged between 18-57 years. Part of the learners were apprentices as well as aiming for a further vocational qualification. Also 23 teachers were given a chance for a staff training period abroad, the staff members included study counseling personnel, prevocational teachers as well as teachers of general subjects and vocational teachers. the age range of the staff was from 27 to 61.Mobility periods affected participant’s attitudes, enhanced resilience and willingness to try. They gave a chance to work in changing situations in an unfamiliar working environment in a foreign working culture in most cases with a foreign language. The training periods gave chances for critical and creative thinking, understanding differences as well as boosted the learning skills and competences.The skills and competences obtained were integrated into the learners study paths. The new legislation asked the college to refresh the courses and studies that the student could gain competences on while working abroad. It has been made possible to gain competence points from both vocational studies as well as from core subject studies.The College offers all participants a common coaching session prior to the departure. Also online materials have been made available for the learners. The college is planning on starting CV and introductory letter workshops to support the students on their mobility period preparations.Helsinki Vocational College aims on giving all its learners equal opportunities for international learning. This aim has been supported by continuous development of the partner network to cover study fields that have not actively been involved in international activities. The project gave a chance to test simultaneous learning in the college: 16 French electrician and maintenance work learners were working in the college’s premises for three weeks. Helsinki Vocational College is sending a group to France this autumn to work in a similar environment. The hope is that this model of mobility suits the study fields and the learners that are not confident enough to travel and work alone.New models of cooperation were also developed for the new study program of nature and environmental studies, where cooperation was built with Allianssi and their voluntary camps. The students participation in these camps and tasks have been raised from their study plans and agreed in a training agreement.The cooperation has as well been broadened geographically. New partner country Malta became a possibility after a student’s workplacement in an elderly care center. Also teachers from the media studies opened the doors for cooperation in Portugal and cooperation was given a kick start with a KA2 project application. The length of the practical training periods have varied broadly from 14-100 days which has given a chance for a deep understanding of the working culture during the long periods as well as targeting in specific competences with the short periods. A rising trend has been students finding their own placements that fit their personal study plans and future visions.The staff motilities gave a chance for developing the colleges international competences. They were seen as a part of the pedagogical and guidance skills development. The participant staff gained understanding and abilities for guiding and preparing the learners for their mobility periods.The teachers were looking for new ideas for teaching as well as familiarizing with foreign schooling systems. All staff members had their personalized goals and they were offered a coaching session. Teachers were also sent in mixed groups from various parts of the college, to gain a broader perspective to the discussions and to network within the college.Helsinki Vocational College aims on giving its students competences needed in work and in life. Reaching this goal asks for international activities and cooperation.
