The Project "Madurando con Europa" arises on the core of IES Puente Ajuda, an educational centre located in Olivenza, at the Community Autonomous of Extremadura (Spain), that attends students from the region. The project is aimed at two groups: students from the Intermediate level Vocational Training in Office Administration and new graduates (4 mobilities) and teachers involved in education at this professional branch (2 mobilities). About the students, they are young people whose main characteristic is lack in economic resources, without inspiration and motivation to learning, furthermore with a rural mind, a value range where priority is given to money,… Society is merged in a continuously change, demanding more every time training people in a cultural and professional way. The pupils of the Vocational Training in Office Administration don´t have this qualities at all, that's the reason why our intention is given them the opportunity of taking part in this project with the aim to emerge in them such circumstances, located them in a better social and occupational position. To achieve that, taking as a reference the realization of their traineeship at italian companies, is programmed to carry out different activities that remain in different aspect involved in this project. Thus, there will be the line of proceed below: * european dimension --> it will work in workshops, attending to conferences, taking part in competitions... where the main subject will be Europe and what implies being European citizens. Also, it will be realized activities related to Italy in general and with the city and the region where they will travel. It tries to bring the European frame to a rural citizenship that today still lives too "inwardly",they are so narrow-minded and talk to them about Europe is to mention ancient stories and they comprehend it as an unreachable place. * wide view of the reality --> the participants will be received chats of organisms that promote the critical spirit, the autoesteem, the ambition and the healthy competition, the motivation, the personal initiative, the dynamism, the empathy and in general all those values that do a whole person, complete in all senses. It tries to change the set of values that these young persons have and that is a consequence of being immersed in an environment with lacks of all aspects. * linguistic ability --> beside strengthen the English as a compulsary subject, they will attend an italian course to acquire basic skills of the language of the host country. It tries to extend the knowledge of languages so that, joined the experience of making their traineeship abroad, the students improve their vocational training, having more opportunities of employability, being more qualified to perform a job As it has been commented, society always changes, being necessary that everybody be able to adapt to the circumstances; so the project contemplates that teaching staff takes part in a job shadowing programme. It tries to take advantage of the sinergies offered by the project so, at the same time as the students make their practices, the teachers will notice the good practices of italian companies in order to improve their teaching. But furthermore, it has been detected a lack of motivation in educational staff about learning a foreign language so the project tries to provide an environment where they can speak another language in order to arouse interest and to recognize the importance of possessing linguistic skill. To take part in the project will have a strong repercussion for the students, not only in the short term (as the personal experience that entails, improving their social, cultural and linguistic skills) but also in the medium and long term, since to make their traineeship abroad puts them in a better position to join to the labor world at a national level, having a better curriculum vitae, and a transnational one, as the italian companies where the students make the traineeship , have a reference about how they do their work, therefore the companies take theses students into account as future candidates to join them. For teachers entails a clear impact in the quality of the educational practice; to observe how italian firms are managed, what is their departmental organization, to know how formal and informal communications are done... it has an incalculable value. The expected impact of the project will reach also to our Secondary School, particularly to its external image, being positioned as an innovative and of good practices institution. To sum up, Madurando con Europa appears as a project that allows to perform on certain issues that are necessary to develop in order to improve our society.
