Project background:With the aim of a uniting Europe, both students and teachers need to be sensitised and motivated for this task. The project management is a means to promote intercultural skills and thus the international opening of our school. The resulting contacts with foreign schools and resulting synergies will be of central importance. Taking the current refugee immigration into account, improving intercultural skills is particularly important for us because these skills should be incorporated in the future into our school program and will sooner or later change the curricula.The participating colleagues teach at our vocational school classes of multicultural respectively international background that qualify for a university access. Students are, for example, of Turkish, Afghan, Serbian and Russian origin. Cosmopolitanism is a prerequisite for the objective of our school. In the wake of a world unrest, under age young refugees have been taught in so called ‘pre-school classes’ at our school obtaining the German language and culture for the past two years. In preparation for university studies and their requirements in project management, projects in cooperation with medium-sized local and international companies are annually performed at our school.Project objectives:The issue of training is aimed precisely at our training needs.
