Oropos - Cheshire - Samos Training Alliance II
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The project concerns the consortium of four Vocational Training Schools, Markopoulou-Oropou, who is the coordinator of the project, Mavrogeneios Vocational School of Arts, Vocational School of Karlovasi Samos and Vocational School of Municipality of Vathi – Samos, aiming at implementing a Learning Mobility of VET Learners in a leading educational institution, the South Cheshire College (SCC) based in Crewe in the United Kingdom.SCC offers the students of the four Greek schools the opportunity to specialize in a certain theme as well as to practice in businesses from their wide network of cooperators that has been developed by the International Office of the College. The available thematic units are in the field of Engineering: U1 “Engineering Project”, U2 “Computer Aided Drafting in Engineering, CAD”, U3 “Automotive”, and Informatic: U4 “Game Development”, U5 “Web Authoring & Web Management”. There is also a common unit for all specialties entitled “Employability” which concerns the empowerment of the ability of the students to enter labor market.The project’s pedagogical framework lies on UNESCO’s five pillars of learning for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and includes specific learning objectives for each thematic unit; objectives concerning the cultivation of skills for specific practical tasks as well as social skills relevant to the students behavior, communication and cooperation skills which are highly placed in modern working environments; objectives towards the growth of students imagination and creativity, the development of value systems and work ethics as well as the development of various aspects of their potential. An ascendant goal concerns their ability to transform oneself and to be the carriers of change in their schools and the local communities. Furthermore, the project seeks to enforce the students European consciousness and to lead them to exploit the opportunities and the rights given by their European identity.Participants are 60 students from the VET Schools of the consortium, 16-19 years of age as well as adult students holding a degree seeking for a second one or at work seeking to certify and to validate the knowledge gained at their work environments through life long learning. The project includes pedagogical preparation activities of the learners in the field of the thematic unit, language preparation in terms of the terminology of the thematic unit as well as daily communication, preparation as regards the safety rules and work ethics that apply according to the current legislation during their practice in the businesses and cultural preparation especially as regards differences that the students must keep in mind while in the United Kingdom.Two flows will follow of 30 students participating in each. During their staying at SCC students attend the theoretical courses of the selected thematic unit as well as the common unit, participate in workshops and practice at the local businesses where they will be placed.Post-flow they complete and submit their projects which they exhibit at a Digital Exhibition.Two seminars are organized in Oropos and on Samos island, for the presentation of the students works, the dissemination of the project outcomes and the advising of the general public of the opportunities Erasmus+ offers.The expected impact on students summarises as follows: improve their knowledge in the specific technical subject of the thematic unit they took & their skills in practical and social level using ITs; gain a whole view on living and working in a European Union country, which helps them toalso improve their work profile; becoming aware of their European identity and exploit the working rights they have as European citizens.The main impact for the members of the consortium as well as their local communities is the internationalization of schools and the experience the teachers obtain through their participation in the project which may be transferred in the future in other European projects or other smaller or wider projects at a national or international level. Eventually, what counts most is the process and the “know-how” gained by those involved that can be diffused in future efforts.You may follow the development of our project at the social media: facebook, google+, twitter; hashtag: #orchestra_IIAnd as in every great OrCheSTrA it’s the quality, the dynamics, the timing and cooperation that makes the difference!
