Innovative ECVET Tour in Europe
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our school has been renamed as Innovative Secondary School of Budapest where 459 students of 14 professions are being trained. Due to this change of name the emphasis is put on innovation which is accomplished in the field of internationalization as well.Concerning applications we are on the beginning of the road since our last year application was the first successful one and it means a milestone in the career of our school.Our institution has set the following points as aims:1. Levelling up trainings and courses, amplifying our competitiveness2. Internationalization, developing the institutional culture of the international relationships3. Innovation, that is transferring skills, collective development of curriculumOur institution has an idea of a large-scale European mobility that would help to carry out the intellectual content of our vocational school and it would contribute to extending our international network of relationships and cooperation. Students’ Mobility:Our winning last year application has been widened by bringing in a new profession (health care) to teach. It has required to find the appropriate partners who accepted to test our ECVET-based European standard learning achievements.The current application promotes the mobility of students of hospitality-tourism and health care.Germany:- 2 students of class 13-14 will be sent to Berlin and Dresden to do their hotel internship- 4 students of class 13 will be sent to Osterode to do their nursing internship- 10 students of class 13 will be sent to Rostock to do their nursing internship- 10 students of class 13 will be sent to Rostock to do their hospitality internshipGreece:- 16 students (in 2 shifts) of class 13-14 will be sent to Greece to do their hotel internshipThe students travel to each venue escorted by teachers.First, this year we have drawn up a study tour at the Baltic Sea for 10 students of hospitality. The topic of this study tour is „Herring days at the Baltic Sea” in terms of eating healthy. The topic of the study tour concerns the innovative, internationalizing startegic aims of our school. In our native rate there is no opportunity to learn processing fish. Our aim is to familiarize our students with a small segment of health-nutrition. Showing innovation we are going to make an instructional film, its other aim is to share knowledge.The success of our application is based on the fact that our well-tried partners are receiving students this year again in terms of a sustainable development and we were managed to involve new partners.Mobility of Colleagues:We have planned to arrange a five-day further education course for our 15 colleagues working in the field of teaching hospitality-tourism and IT. In the course of developing a curriculum, a tutorial film is planning to be made about the running of cruise ships since a domestic demand for such workers has arisen. So our school has decided to prepare an innovative curriculum which will be available on our website.The other important emphasis lies on sharing knowlegde, when our own knowledge is shared with the students and teachers of a German vocational school in the field of multimedia and IT. Our school will be introduced through Prezi in English and in German languages and media/IT classes are planned to be kept for students and teachers as well.We use the students’ mobility consciously to decrease the number of the students who would discontinue their studies.ECVET-based learning units and their assessment system have been drawn up for two groups of profession (health care, hospitality-tourism).The long-term effect of the project is to promote the understanding of different cultures, how to learn adoption and how to get rid of prejudice, to arouse emphaty while learning the intercultural cooperation on an institutional level.
