Every year, the PKR sends app. 50 students in the framework of European proposals abroad. These first year students on the way to becoming state approved educators are taking advantage of an internship in one of the European partner countries. The six week internship takes place in an early childhood organization (i.e. kindergarten, pre-school etc.) in England, Spain, Italy, the Scandinavian countries, Portugal, Austria et. al. The aim is to develop and strengthen the students intercultural abilities and to incorporate these abilities into the students' vocational training after their return. Therefore, it is part and parcel of PKR'S vocational training. During the internship the students are monitored by their mentors in their kindergartens et.al. . A member of PKR'S Team Abroad visits them in order to deal with questions and problems and also to strengthen the contact between sending and receiving organiziation. After their return, the students take part in an extensive reflexion period. Apart from this program where the PKR functions as the sending partner, we also take part in the program as a receiving partner for Leeds College students who participate in an internship in kindergartens in Rostock.
