Context and background of the Project. This project started with the aim of continuing with the international projects of the College of Art and Design of Burgos after the PAP programme ended and the Erasmus+ began. What is intended is to give our Medium vocational Training students the opportunity to live an international experience which will allow them to acquire some professional skills and training and some personal experiences which will improve their capacity to enter the competitive world of work nowadays. It will also allow them to broaden the intercultural views based on the knowledge of completely different cultures to their own. The main aims for the participants: - To develop professional and social skills. - To improve your language skills. - To know other ways of working. - To broaden your social relationships. - To be aware of the cultural diversity of Europe. The main aims of the institution: - To improve the quality of education considering these projects as part of the learning process. - To promote the value of plastic and design arts, above all, those which are studied in our center. - To consolidate the mobility projects of the center and to study other possibilities of taking part in other international activities (K2 projects). Number and profile of the participants: Four participants have enjoyed the mobilities. The people who have participated include Medium Vocational training students from Applied Arts (Artistic cabinet making studies) and from Clothing (Leather accesories craftwork studies). Description of the different activities carried out: Throughout this project, four 90-day mobilities have been completed. During the academic year 2014/15, two interships of students who have just graduated, in Finland (student of Artistic cabinet-making) and Germany (student of Artistic cabinet-making).
