This Comenius project is a partnership between technical schools in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, France, Poland and Norway. Through specific activities, teachers and students learn to understand each other, compare their educational systems and construct an innovative industrial project. The challenge consisted of conceiving and creating a programmable industrial machine to test the quality of CDs and package them to the required educational and industrial standards. The system involves the use of cameras and sophisticated technical sensors and students are obliged to use their technical knowledge in the design of the tool. Each college is also required to manufacture part of the tool so that the finished object becomes a truly European creation based on the concrete collaboration of teachers and students in the seven countries. Through this industrial project the partners were able to learn about their own educational systems. They developed new approaches to collaborative working. The project features an intercultural dimension because of the different students who contributed to the making of the tool.
