Background and results/impact expected: The German school was contacted by regional food production companies because they were looking for future employees in the field of food production. The companies suffer from labour shortage and are therefore also interested in cooperations with schools from other European countries. The schools in Germany, Italy and Poland on the other hand have to deal with early school drop-outs. All schools have the same educational background and therefore, decided to work together in helping students finding jobs in the field of natural science across Europe. We want to prepare students for the job market by providing help in how to behave in job interviews and how to write a CV. By working in international teams, students strengthen these skills: social skills, cultural and intercultural skills, language skills, CLIL competences, STEM competences. Students will also have to work with the computer-based program ChemSketch to draw chemical equations and structures. During the project students will also create an eBook. So they strengthen their ICT competences and become fit for the job market but also for future studies at university. Students will get insights into food production companies (how they work; which products are produced; inverviews with employees; marketing strategies) and strengthen their entrepreneurial skills. Another part of the project is to produce food with the help of lactobacilli in Italy and Poland (the Italian school has its own cheese factory in school), therefore, students enhance their knowledge in Natural Sciences. In Germany, all these activities will be taught in a subject that will be introduced especially for this project (“Life Science”). In Italy and Poland these activities will also be taught interdisciplinary. The curriculums of the subjects German, English, Economics, Computer Science and Nutritional Science in all participating schools also include the contents of the project, e.g. how to write a CV/personal statement; how do food production companies work; Biochemistry; and are therefore perfect for interdisciplinary teaching. In each project meeting there will be 36 high-school students of all educational backgrounds and 6 teachers involved. The teachers teach Nutritional Science, Biology, Biochemistry, English, Economics, Computer Science. But all students and teachers of all participating schools will be involved in the project (e.g. preparing project meetings, conducting project work etc.; approx. 1600 students and 168 teachers). Planned activities are: - one preparatory meeting and three project meetings with students: - visit to food production companies in all countries - visit to school cheese factory in Italy - job training (in English and mother tongue) - eBook about organic chemistry and biochemistry - CLIL exercise book - international workshops (e.g. multilingual dictionary, logo etc.) - presentations/brochures/articles etc. - final CD with all materials Methodology: - Creation of a team of teachers at each school to teach but also to monitor the project - first project meeting will be a preparatory meeting for teachers only to discuss activities, timeline and outstanding questions - Erasmus + board/brochures/website/conference/EST database/digital monitor - introduction of computer-based program ChemSketch - introduction of new subject “Life Science” - introduction of interdisciplinary and bilingual teaching - evaluation and questionnaires Longer term benefits: - The newly introduced subject “Life Science” will remain. - The CLIL exercise book and the eBook will be used again by other students (also revise the exercises; add more exercises). - Interdisciplinary teaching will be continued in all countries. - Bilingual teaching will be introduced and continued. - All students of all countries will be able to use the compter program ChemSketch. - The cooperation between the food production companies and the schools will remain. - Students know what working in a food company is like and how to make a career in such a company - Especially female students deliver their vocational needs to companies and exchange ideas with future employees of other European countries. - The students will have the opportunity to visit each other and to talk about foods and the current situation on the job market. This strengthens the intercultural competence of students in all participating countries. Both students and teachers broaden their horizons and contribute to international understanding and therefore, correspond with European values.
