"Name of the project: Internationalization of Escola del Treball - III Start of the project: 01/10 /2018 Duration of the project: 24 months Mobility: 1 teacher, 19 students + 1 accompanying person Partner countries of the project: Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Poland, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom. IET-III is the third edition of the Erasmus+ project of Escola del Treball de Barcelona (EdT), framed in the Center's Internationalization Strategy, aim to strengthen our structure, the human resources and the procedures of the international mobility program that endow the EdT of an international dimension from which the whole educational community (students and teachers) could benefit. With this project we have intended that our school, one of the most important in vocational training in the whole country, improves the quality of their educational programs, introducing activities that benefit in their educational work, making it more attractive, innovative and in context with the European labor market. As a reference center in vocational eduation and training (for its variety of specialties, its size and its potential), we have bet on keeping participating in the projects developed in the European common area of education, recognizing the merits acquired by students in training schools through the participation in internships in foreign companies. We believe that this project is clearly committed to strengthe the employability of our students. The project, managed by an international coordination team of Escola del Treball, has had the support of different national and international partners that have helped in the realization of short internship mobilities for students and mobilities for teachers (job shadowing).The pandemic situation has led us to reduce the number of mobilities we considered in the initial project. Finally, 19 student mobilities have been carried out - one of which had to be terminated earlier than planned due to force majeure - and regarding of the four planned teachers mobilities, only one has been able to materialize; likewise, regardingof the two planned accompaniments, only one could be performed. Despite these changes, we consider it has been a success to have been able to carry out the whole project despite the pandemic situation. Regarding the teaching staff of Escola del Treball, IET-III has achieved: -To give them the opportunity to gain experience with new methodologies of foreign companies. -To establish new cooperation strategies with international organizations, companies and training centers. -To encourage the exchange of good practices in educational management and pedagogical methodologies with organizations in the local (Mundus) and international environment. -To educate the teaching staff about the importance of intercultural dialogue, and the learning of foreign languages, to develop an awareness of European identity. -To prepare in a coordinated way actions with the participation of young learners. -To create synergies between students and teachers from different departments. - To bring ""Europe"" to the educational community. Regarding the students, the project has allowed them: -To live the European business context, in order to acquire professional experience putting into practice the knowledge acquired during their professional training. -To develop transversal competences (8 key competences identified by the European Commission) that allow them to acquire basic skills at a personal level. -To encourage critical thinking, breaking stereotypes through activities that foster intercultural dialogue in the educational community. -To help them improve their job opportunitties at the end of their studies. -To reinforce their self-esteem and confidence, empowering them through experiences in international environments outside of their comfort zone. -To develop themselves as European citizens, opening up their minds to other cultures, languages and traditions of the common space. -To bring Erasmus + European mobility programs as well as non-formal and informal education to the students. In total, 19 students from the different professional families of Escola del Treball de Barcelona (+1 companion) and 1 teacher have participated in the project with mobilities that have been executed between 2019 and 2021 in 8 countries (Finland, Germany, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Poland, Slovenia and United Kingdom ).
