Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This has been our first mobility project managed by ourselves, since until now we had only participated as a member of two consortia (Departament d'Ensenyament and Fundació BCN FP) for the mobility of students. We decided to ask the AN mobility for teacher training, in order to visit a school similar to ours and share best practices in the classroom and jewellery workshops. The person selected to carry out this project was Sandra Yelo, because she had been the school’s mobility and Workplace Training coordinator for 5 years. She has also been teaching different subjects of Artistic Jewellery, both theoretical and practical, so she has a broad view of this Specific vocational training. Mobility took place at the partner school Budapesti Kézművesipari Szakképző Iskola, in Budapest (Hungary), during the first 10 days of May. The scholarship only included 5 of these 10 days. We were interested in this school because of its highly technical perfection in the execution and finishing of pieces. The school’s modern technical infrastructure (laser welder, numerical control milling machine, 3D printer, etc.) enables the performance of very precise parts, as well as working with harder metals than silver, as steel or titanium. As well as sharing good teaching practices, regarding both theoretical and practicalmodules, both schools also shared strategies in order to foster the students’ employment, whether in the commercial or the artistic field. Along with other importantHungarian jewellers, Sandra Yelo was part of the jury in the new talents competition organized by the Budapesti Kézművesipari Szakképző Iskola, where she could observe the artistic and technical potential of students of different levels. She values this experience very positively, delighted to have shared it with people of different ages and different jewellery trends. During mobility, our coordinator also visited different jewellery workshops, shops andgalleries, both classic and contemporary, in the city of Budapest and its surrounding neighbourhoods. She has been able to talk and share experiences with different people from the creative and business sectors, at the prospect of collaborating on exhibition projects in the near future. This has also been a very positive experience because we have been able to consolidate our relationship with our partner in Budapest, and a planning of new mobility projects has been scheduled for students in future courses.
