During the last four courses, we have carried ot different projects within the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme funded by the CE (Leonardo da Vinci´s grants), in which 18 participants have been working in the mentioned Danish companies. The experience have been totally satisfying from every ponit of view: participants, intermediary partners, host partners, delivery partners and ourselves. Besides,as a result of this first contact, we have signed contracts for the development of workplace practices in several Danish companies, leading in the sector, that are interested in recieve and host our students (enclosed there are copies of all this documents, in default of achieving the PIC code). The metodology that we are going to use streams from the experience adquiered in similar projects. Thanks to the intermediary partner ( Thecnical training School in Denmark), the communication with the companies and the definition of the education programmes work fluently. Administrative procedures, as well as, permission applications, ticket buying, booking of accommodation and insurances is done from Spain by the coordinator designated for this in each participant Center. In addition, during the mentioned stays a strong relationship with the intermediary Institute has emerge, to the extent that, during this course (2013-14), five Danish students are going to do thier workplace practices, in the companies that we (IES José Luis López Aranguren and IES León Felipe), have provided them, in Madrid. Hoping that, at least, the result obtained from the experience will be as satisfactory as previous ones. Whit the development of this project, we want to improve considerably the quality of our students education. Not only contents and skills are referred, but also their education as adults, increasing their maturity, autonomy and ability to begin a new journey in the professional world. The Erasmus + project is included in our Programming from the first course of Training Cicle as an offer for all the students that show the requiered responsability to do it during the development of the Cicle. Only the existence of this possibility makes that a growing interest appears in the group, which triggers constantly questions and debates about several topics related with de destination country (Denmark), how they work with machinery, language, manners,... This clearly defines the development of the second course, in which the students that are more interested are, from the begining, very motivated because they want to get one of the offered vacants.
