Rauma Videregående skole and Rauma and Vestnes apprentice office wish to send 12 students/apprentices with vocational background on internship to London. One teacher and one assistent will follow the group. In essence, this is intended to be conducted with students from VG 2 childcare and youth work and VG 2 health workers, together with apprentices from the same proffesion. The school and apprenticeoffice will work with ADC College which will organize the stay from arrival to departure in London.Criteria we will use to choose students will be academic interest, attitude, behavior and languageskills.Information to parents, colleagues, students and partners will be given in good time before departure. Special focus will be devoted to security and what obligations the students have as representatives for their country and school.The reason for this application:We want to recruit more students/apprentices into subjects that in recent years has struggled with the number of pupils in school and not least in the profession later. We see internationalization as a motivating factor in an otherwise demanding school/work day. The goal is to challenge students on the professional level and personal sides of themselves. To travel together, experience together, try themselves in a new situation, be challenged on language and academic activities, will hopefully give students/apprentices an experience they can use in a vocational career later in life aswell as in school. More impressions and more knowledge provides greater opportunity for reflection.The students/apprentices normally get to know the Norwegian health care and education system through internships locally in Norway. Maybe the picture becomes a bit oversimplified when there is nothing to compare with. We hope to give the student/apprentice an insight into another country's health and education system and employment. The cultural differences will be topics the students/apprentices will be working with before, during and through the evaluation process afterwards.The students/apprentices will during the period stay with host families and this is a different and challenging situation in itself. How we behave in someone elses home, what they eat, what rules they have and why and how to communicate. This will put the students/apprentices to the test, and hopefully put their own lives in Norway in perspective.The students/apprentices will be placed in schools, kindergartens and health institutions. This will test their language skills and professional knowledge. Communication may be challenging. We hope that professional training in advance will give the students/apprentices an extra confidence in communicating in English. Our englishteachers will conduct the training.We hope that the students/apprentices are left with a broader understanding of labor across borders. We also hope that they have a personal development in the period they are in London, linguistically and socially. Hopefully they have got positive experiences they will share with others students, friends and potentially new students. Rauma VGS and the apprentice office wants to use the students/apprentices experiences and reflections in efforts to promote subjects attending. We look at digital media and oral/written presentations as tools for this.The school and the apprentice office will in the wake of the deployment have experiences in the staff that can motivate others vocational studies to think internationally. Tutors who participate will have acquired knowledge that can be shared with others and used in everyday teaching/work.
