An integral part of the exchange was obtaining information about the system of lifelong education and opportunities for further education of teachers. The project is specifically aimed at obtaining information and experience in the teaching field - Mechanic Repairman of Motor Vehicles. Teachers who professionally auspice the field and contribute to its further development participated in the exchanges. Exchanges within the Erasmus+ programme allowed them to get the most of theoretical and practical knowledge, experience and skills that they can pass on to their pupils and incorporate them into their curricula. Representatives of individual sections of the sending organization were present in the work group – vocational education and training. Each group followed one specific goal – comprehehsively acknowledge the system of education in the fields of car industry, compare the ways and forms of education in the Czech Republic and in Poland and implement new and innovative teaching methods, techniques and procedures. Participants worked in specialized school classrooms, specialized workshops, they visited social partners to gain the overview of the organization of education, studied educational programmes, methodology and organization of teaching. They attended auditions of special lessons, participated in vocational training and compared the outputs considering the needs of the labor market. The output of the exchange is a comprehensive overview of education in the field of cars. All materials were completed and submitted to the field subject committees. The findings of „good practice“ are included in the SEP and used in the theoretical and practical teaching. Each internship lasted two weeks and students worked in partner schools´ specialised workshops, in specialised classrooms and in contracted workplaces of the schools - authorized service centers Citroen (Poland). The main aim of the project is the enhancement of professional competence and knowledge of the pupils as well as their personal development. This informal way helped the pupils to learn about different countries and experience different work and social culture, ethics and lifestyle. This intercultural aspect represents and integral part of the work mobility project. Pupils had the opportunity to check and compare their skills in their professional fields and their knowledge in the world of real practise, not only in direct confrontation with adult workers, but especially with students of partner schools. The purpose of the internships is to motivate pupils to further self-education, that will enable them to start and integrate more succesfully into the real working life.
