Skupaj v učenju za prihodnost
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Jun 1, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The consortium of schools of economics (Celje School of Economics, Novo mesto School of Economics, Secondary School of Economics Ljubljana and Secondary School Slovenj Gradec and Muta) has formed partnership with partners in Spain, the United Kingdom, Malta and Portugal for the purpose of collaborating in the mobility project for secondary school students from four regions that is taking place from June 2014 until June 2015. We are aiming at organising a placement for 106 of our secondary vocational and technical school students for a period of two to three weeks respectively. The duration of their placements has been adjusted to their curricula. All partners are aiming at enabling our participants to get an excellent mobility experience, help them upgrade their speaking abilities in English or teach them the basics of Spanish/Portuguese, which means granting their wish. We are going to work hard to broaden their horizons to such an extent so that foreign languages will no longer be a problem but a challenge, we would like them to understand the notion of multicultural existence and be able to live among and with different kinds of people, we want to encourage the use of their professional skills in foreign work environment and gain new skills, including soft skills which are becoming increasingly sought after by employers. It is necessary they become aware of the importance of lifelong learning and training as Europe offers excellent opportunities for international cooperation, networking and exchange of expertise. For the majority of our students it will be an all-first time: the first flight, the first time away from their parents, for the first time so far away from home but all that has so far immensely contributed to their strengthened self-confidence. The project is also of utmost importance for all partner schools as mobility activities raise our international profile and attract a greater number of students who want to enrol in our schools. At the same time it provides valuabe new experiences for all of us. We are aiming at increasing the number of mobilities in comparison to previous years, improve the students' openness and independence. At the same time we want to strengthen our collaboration with foreign partners and keep improving our mobility practice by learning also from their rich experience. Mobility is an added value to our educational programmes and it diversifies everyday activities in all our partner schools.
