The aim of Erasmus+ project "Development in Europe in Media Art and Design" is acquiring new skills, proficiencies and competences, which would contribute to students’ personal development, and also increase their employment and competitiveness in the European labour market. The participants of the project will have an opportunity to acquire knowledge, get acquainted with new technologies and facilities in their profession, as well as to improve their foreign language proficiency. The students will master their skills in both vocational schools and internship places. Students’ participation in such projects promotes popularity of vocational education, and also increases students’ motivation and interest in their further professional development.The aim of pedagogical staff Mobility is the transfer of competences and innovative teaching methods. The main task for teachers involved in the project is to research new educational programmes, which are not yet implemented in Riga Art and Media School, but which would have prospects in the local labour market. Also during mobility teachers have to gather information about successful cooperation between representatives of labour market and vocational Training centres, learn more about technical innovations used in other countries and consider the possibility of their adaption for Riga Art and Media School needs. Besides, teachers’ mission includes establishing contacts with new international partners in the EU in both vocational schools and labour market.In the framework of this project, we plan to carry out three activities: 1. VET learners traineeships in vocational institutes abroad; 2. VET learners traineeships in companies abroad; 3. Staff training abroad.
