Project background : With the changes of the regional labour markets into a European labour market the requirements of our school have changed. Our school must prepare our students for Europe and for the European labour market and has a strong desire to do so. That is why the teachers' intercultural and project management skills have to be significantly improved. Intercultural skills are multidisciplinary and play an essential part in the opening of the school to Europe. The skills should be acquired during intercultural training courses and project management courses. Therefore it is important to share training courses with teachers from other countries in order to meet potential project partners and plan school exchanges, e-Twinning projects or job shadowing with them. Project goals : Improvement of intercultural skills and project management of teachers. Number and profile of participants: The three teachers who participated : - were willing to attend training courses abroad - had sufficient language skills - were willing to share this European dimension with colleagues and students - were willing to integrate that dimension in their teaching programme. Methodology for project implementation : Before the mobility, the participants were kept informed about the content of the programme of the training course. They were willing to participate to the trainers' activities. Then they constituted a team to carry on the project. The activities were very diversified and regularly assessed. Description of the expected results, effects and potential long-term benefits : The seminar experience has led to changes in teaching practices and has helped develop the cooperation with other European partners thanks to the emergence of new projects. - The teachers who participated in the project shared new practices with their colleagues to quickly apply them to their students. - Two of the three teachers participated in two eTwinning seminars "Digital Literacy in Education" and "Professional Development Workshop" organised by the Canopé network from the Futuroscope (one was in Poitiers, one in Malta). The participation in these two seminars led to two eTwinning projects : one with a German partner and another one with partners from France, Malta, Latvia, Slovakia and Poland and Armenia. These projects are available on the eTwinning platform on this site : http://live.eTwinning.net/projects . - Exchanges through Skype were realised with a Greek partner met during the mobility. - The teachers shared their motivation and their experience and formed a new team (teachers and school administration staff). They helped them write a new 2 year KA1 projet which has been accepted by the Commission and which started in September 2016. The seminar has enabled the partcipants to motivate even more the school teachers and staff to build new European projects and to use these projects as a means to expand the students' intercultural, language and social skills. By expanding these skills, the students will be better prepared in the future for the demands of the European and international labour market.
