Our school aims to establish a solid cooperation with European Vocational organizations, this will raise the image of our School,promote staff competence, improve students learning, help students to understand and come closer to a European multicultural environment and improve students employability. As stated in school's development plan one of the main goals is the encouragement of all educators to be involved in European mobility programmes. Furthermore, taking part in such programme will give students a great opportunity to develop their personality, self-esteem, competence and skills. The participants are educators and students. The management administration of our school, having in mind the need for further personal and professional development of the educators, staff and students of the school, has decided that 2 members of the administration, 8 educators and 26 students should take advantage of the benefits that Erasmus+ Programme offers. The participants will be students attending a catering course in Culinary Arts . The students of the catering department during their second year in school, they must undergo practical training in hotel and catering establishments for 20 weeks, a prerequisite for obtaining their school certificate. All teaching and administration staff have work experience within their fields. Especially, the instructors of the Hotel and Catering department work closely with the industry since during the training program of the students(20 weeks training period) which is compulsory work experience, the educators are inspecting and evaluating their students. The educators and the students of the Hotel and Catering have participated in similar projects and the results were very beneficial and enjoyable for all. This mobility project consists of two main activities:Activity A1.1 and 1. 2Flow 1: 13 students from the hotel and catering department will attend two week period training in hotels and restaurants in Riga Latvia, in the area of service and cooking . Our analytical curriculum includes International Cuisine, so this exercise will be part of it.Flow 2: 13 students from the hotel and catering department will attend two week period training in hotels and restaurants in Praga Portugal , in the area of service and cooking . Our analytical curriculum includes International Cuisine, so this exercise will be part of it.Activity A2: Taking part in this course trainers will learn how to create a website and an e-learning platform for educational purposes. Through a hands-on approach and learning-by-doing methodology participants will create their first e-learning platform and website during the training. This structured course allows participants to improve their ICT skills in a practical and concrete way together with other participants and trainers throughout all Europe thus gaining as well a broader understanding of education in Europe and exchanging best practices and experiences. The general aim of this course is to foster excellence in education by empowering trainers to integrate web platform.Our Institution will carry out the management of the project, as explained in section F of this application. Our school will work closely with our partners in order to set up the learning agreements, concerning the procedures that both partners will follow and set up the standards for meeting the desired learning outcomes of the project. Furthermore, in cooperation with our partner organizations we will set up the measures of evaluation upon the completion of the project for all the partners taking part in this Mobility Programme. As it is previously mentioned, one of the main objectives of this project for our school is to establish a solid cooperation with European Institutions in the field of VET. Upon meeting the objectives of this project an important result would be the improvement of qualification of teaching personnel as well as the establishment of processes regarding validation of experience gained during learning (for students) and teaching (for educators) periods in another country.Students by improving their language skills will improve their learning performance; upgrading students’ awareness of the European Union values and European Mobility projects will eventually upgrade the students' inter-cultural awareness and finally increase their self-esteem and employability. Educators and administration staff, in the future would support the promotion of such mobility actions; upgrading their competences in teaching and training. All the above at the end of day aim to assist students to accomplish their smooth induction in the professional and social life, their competition for a place in the Tertiary Educational Institutions in Cyprus or abroad, their share in the lifelong Education and training, so as to be able to view and implement innovations in a fast changing world.
