Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The two main goals of the mobility were to increase the professional and key competences of the participants as well as increase the international profile of BC Naklo, mostly through establishing links with vocational schools and companies abroad. Through the mobility, we developed our students' and teachers' business skills, and adopted innovative practices from various organisations abroad (vocational schools, companies and universities). Furthermore, we linked our vocational education and training courses with partner institutions abroad, developed and strengthened our relationships with our partners and made plans for further cooperation. The general objectives and expected results of the project primarily included the dissemination of know-how and good practices in the selected areas of professional expertise, becoming familiar with new forms of practical (skill development) courses of study, developing professional and personal competences, enhancing personal growth, gaining experience with project work, improving professional knowledge and skills, raising linguistic competences, networking for long-term cooperation (partnership) and increasing the transnational and European dimension. In the application form, we planned 46 mobilities on biotechnology (i.e. nature conservation, horticulture, a biotechnical gymnasium, agriculture and food) as follows: - Mobility of 30 students – 6 VET students in enterprises and 24 VET students in vocational schools - 11 professionals – we planned 5 mobilities for teacher training at our partner schools, 5 mobilities for teacher escorts and 6 mobilities for the training of professional staff at enterprises. The main objective, which was to carry out 46 mobilities was exceeded by 9 additional mobilities, meaning that 55 mobilities were carried out in total : - 38 VET students in enterprises and vocational schools (8 extra mobilities) - 17 staff mobility – training abroad and education/teaching abroad (1 extra mobility). Mobilities implemented: - September 2014, Netherlands, Syngenta Seeds B.V.: practical student education in the field of agriculture. - June 2015, Austria, Biosphärenpark Nockberge: the practical training of eight pupils and two teacher escorts on nature conservation and agriculture. - October 2015, Norway, Hjeltnes Vidaregåande Skule and Voss Jordbruksskule: the practical training of four students and a teacher on horticulture and four students and a teacher on agriculture and nature conservation. - October 2015, Croatia, the "Arboretum Opeka" Middle School in Marčan: the practical training of five students and a teacher on horticulture. - February 2016, Italy, the European Athenaeum of Floral Art (EAFA): the professional training of two teachers on floristry and gardening. - April 2016, the United Kingdom, the University of Greenwich: the professional training of five teachers on green architecture. - April 2016, the Czech Republic, ALVIT – innovation and education (training centre): the practical education/training of eight pupils and two teacher escorts on food technology. - May and June 2016, Estonia, Luua Metsanduskool (Forestry School), the practical training of eight pupils and two teachers on nature conservation, forestry and horticulture. - June 2016, France, ALPARC (Alpine Network of Protected Areas): the professional training of teachers in the field of nature conservation. The mobility project allowed the students to gain valuable knowledge of their chosen profession, and helped the teachers acquire new knowledge and skills, which they have passed on to their students, other school employees and, as mentors, to workers. The teachers have included this experience and these new skills into the educational process itself. This has increased our promotional activities and raised the standard of our educational programmes. All the learners acquired comparable European knowledge, competencies, skills and experience in their fields of expertise in other European educational institutions and enterprises. By sharing this knowledge, professional experience and skills acquired and, implementing all of this knowledge in the professional work of the participants, it has become easier to solve professional challenges through innovative approaches. We continue to develop our transnational cooperation and promote the European dimension through our mobility projects. We have now gained 6 new partners, and together we have designed a project within the framework of the Interreg programmes.
