The project proposal with the title „FAITH IN EUROPE”, initiated by Technical College „Mihai Bacescu” Falticeni, responds to a real need of pupils’ training, established on the basis of our institution’s needs analysis and on the prognosis and diagnosis in the field, which proved that “The motivation of the pupils on the secondary level, technological profile for their own education and professional training is very low and it is concretized in low results and high absenteeism”. The project has as target group a number of 30 pupils in secondary school, most of them from the rural side, in 10th grade, services profile, domain of base training in tourism. Through the development of the mobility, the participants will form new professional and linguistic competences in hotel units from Granada, Spain, which will contribute to their own professional and personal development and will increase their chances to integrate on a continue changing labour market. We have chosen this target group because an overwhelming percentage of 80% of the pupils in the 10th grade, services field, base training domain of tourism, come from this unfavourable environment and it is real their need for professional training at European standards to facilitate their insertion on labour market, to widen their cultural horizon and to increase the flexibility and the mobility of the professional development. The reasons why we consider that the pupils need to train abroad are: - there is no hotel properly equipped in our town which could offer the pupils the possibility to form the practical specific competences - the low practical preparation of secondary school graduates from this specialization, the pupils being disfavoured by the short period of time established for the practical training in the hotels. - the confirmation of the competences acquired by the pupils in the placements through the documents received at the ending of the placement, especially through Europass Mobility Certificate. - the working placement directly related to the real European work environment will have as an immediate effect forming to the pupils the abilities at up-dated European quality standards to facilitate the insertion on the labor market. - the formed competences during the working placement will represent an added value to the development of the general competences comprised in the curricula for specialty modules, the 10th grade. The project responds to the formation needs of the participants regarding: - insurance of the access to quality education - application of the European concept of lifelong learning - facilitation of professional insertion and equal opportunities - promotion of linguistic diversity - consolidation of social cohesion, of active citizenship and intercultural dialog. We consider that the receiving organizations (Hotel Corona de Granada, Hotel Alixares si Hotel Navas) respond the best to the need of formation of the participants and the period of 3 weeks of working placement/flux will assure the development in optimal conditions of all the activities included in the Training Agreement and the obtaining of the objectives proposed in the project. Through the specific activities which will take place in these hotels with transnational experience and relevant economical results for the industry of tourism in the host country, the participants will benefit from their experience and will form the professional competences specific to the activities in the compartments of the hotels. The practical activities developed by the participants in the 4* hotels will contribute to: -FLEXIBILITY of the professional future path -ADAPTATION of the pupils to the dynamic field of tourism -a better awarness of the INTERCULTURALLITY in EU -improving of the TRANSVERSAL competences necessary for accessing any type of job in the field -increasing the grade of HOPE in the opportunities offered by the EU. = FAITH IN EUROPE. Beside the professional competences, the participants will also form and develop linguistic and intercultural competences, European attitudes and values and management competences. The development of this project will bring added value to the institution both by attaining the objective: “The growth of the flexibility and the adaptation of the educational and professional training offer to the requests of the labor market, on the base of personal and professional development needs, according to the tendencies of economic development at local, national and European level.”, which this project directly refers to, and by the contribution to attaining the general objective of the PAS at the Technical College “M. Bacescu”, which specifies the need of increasing the quality of instruction process of the pupils and also the need of institutional development through transnational projects. All these together prove that the objectives of the project respond to the needs of the organization and the real professional needs of the participants.
