The mobility procject "Restaurant and Food Processing+Health and Social Care from the Arctic to Belgium I" is a continuing expansion of Raa Upper Secondary School's bi-lateral cooperation that we have had for some time with the Sint-Annas Institute in Eeklo, Belgium. The vocational focus under the Erasmus+ umbrella has finally made it possible for us to send our Health and Social Care students on international study-trips to enable them to add a new dimension to their vocational education and training. At the same time is this simplifying the funding for our Restaurant and Food processing students who for a number of years have relied on a lot of extra work to generate income to fund their study trips to different parts of Europe. Second year vocational students from both programs will participate in two week long study trips to Eeklo, Belgium to get a more in-depth tuition in the areas in which the school here specializes in teaching. The project has a duration of two years and includes a total mobility of 45 students and 6 teachers pr year. This divided into three groups of a maximum number of students of 15 with up to two teachers accompanying each group of students. We are currently striving to provide our internationally oriented students with a predictable and secure framework and would like to have a pair of teachers with each group of students in the politically turbulent times on the European continent.Raa Upper Secondary School has for a number of years worked with internationalization in our sports and restaurant and food processing educational programs. We are now excited and pleased given the opportunity to expand this into health and social care as well. We have a long standing tradition when it comes to hosting foreign schools in various settings at our school in the sports and restaurant and food processing programs and we are bringing our experiences and networks from this tradition into the health and social care program with the aid of the Erasmus+Our main objectives is to actively prevent early school leaving in the upper secondary school system, create skilled workers and hopefully help in breaking down the cultural barriers that exist between the countries of Europe. We are trying to accomplish this in a joint effort between the vocational teachers and the common subject teachers especially within the fields of the English language and social studies. We are implementing this approach to tuition both in the preparatory work that is done before the mobility is carried through in the project and of course within in the framework of the actual visit itself. We are always searcing for a way to bring both a vocational teacher into the project together with a common subjects teacher for the actual execution of the project. This to ensure the highest possible quality in the result of the project within the actual vocational field as well as socio-cultural and language as well.The objectives of the project must also be seen in the context of early leaving in the upper secondary school system, the problems vocational programs are having in recruiting students and the implications this has when it comes to cater to the needs of the labour market. The European perspective yields basically the same results as the local perspective does. We are counting on the project to result in more applicants to our school in the vocational programs that we can offer (Health and Social Care, Restaurant and Food Processing) and also at the same time help combat early school leave in the same programs.The big picture includes trying to shape youth that have a liberal and tolerant view of the world where movability across borders is not a scary thought but a natural way of thinking when it comes to future work and studies. The same open-minded and tolerant youth will also fight extremist thoughts within politics and resist polarization and in that sense be a friendly neighbour in a European context. An individual that is a true citizen of Europe and is able to appreciate his neighbour because he is familiar with different cultures and knows the value of diversity. This is the youth of the future that we are striving to give birth to. And that is especially important these days.
