Another group from Dąbrowa Tarnowska just finished their internship and coming back to Poland to finish academic year which is going to be end soon. Starting with 9th of April, they spent 12 days and left the Greece at 20 th of April. We really liked them, so it is big pity, that they had to come back to reality, after great time here. We hope that we will have a chance to see them again in the future.

Erasmus+ project Internships abroad as a chance for the intensification of the professions: technical construction and landscape architecture, which we are a partner is going to be finished soon. After two weeks mobility of students from the school, it is time to promote the results and evaluate all the work we put into that common initiative.
Those two activities are very important for us, as in that way we can spread positive impact of the project and reach also other target groups. If it comes to the evaluation, we would like to discuss what was wrong and what went totally fine, to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
That why, we used many various methods to make a proper and efficient evaluation, which are: meetings with the students during mobility, meetings between teachers and Greek mentors, questionnaires, also that one in Mobility Tool+ system. We also invited Director of the Polish school to come to Greece during stay of his students, to check how conditions looks like, as we put really big effort in fulfilling our promises from the beginning.
First week of 30 students from ZS CKU im. J. Poniatowskiego in Czarnocin already passed. It was time full of new experience related to practicing in different working environment, using foreign languages, meeting new people from many cultures as well as visiting places which till now where known only from the books or Internet sources. Check out how it is till now, keeping in mind that its just the half of stay of this wonderful group in Greece!
First part of the Qualified European specialist from Dąbrowa Tarnowska project is behind us. 40 students from Zespół Szkół Ponadgimnazjalnych nr 2 w Dąbrowie Tarnowskiej just left the Greece after 12 days spent in hotel San Pantaleimon. They were here to have 80 hours’ internship in Greek companies from the sector of economy and hotels. They were accompanied by 4 teachers from their school, who made a great team with our mentors. Thanks to their work, students have safe environment to work, sightseeing and have fun.
During those almost two weeks, they had a chance to meet Greece much better. They were in Thessaloniki, which is the biggest city of northern part of our country. They have also seen Meteora, Old Pantaleimon, Litochoro and Olimp. Even the weather was not a barrier for us in exploring Greece more and more. Students were really satisfied as they had a chance to see beautiful landscapes and great architecture.
60 students from Poland just left the Greece, after two weeks long vocational internship organized by GEORGIKES EKMETALEUSEIS & TRAINING SERVICE, in cooperation with Zespół Szkół Ponadgimnazjalnych im. Władysława S. Reymonta w Brniu. It was implemented in frame of Erasmus+ project Internships abroad as a chance for the intensification of the professions: technical construction and landscape architecture, no 2017-1-PL01-KA102-036421.
Few months of organizing and hard work was not lost, as stay in Greece for a polish group was really great experience, as they said. It was full of work, but also pleasant time spent on playing volleyball, swimming in the sea or sightseeing through the greatest monuments of Greece, for example Meteors complex. We want to underline big role of our mentor team, who did really great job during those two weeks. They were also very happy as cooperation between them and participant was going on fruitful. Both side could benefit from each other and develop their skills, knowledge and experience.
We have a pleasure to present that in the dates 01/10/2017 – 30/09/2018 in cooperation with Zespol Szkol Centrum Ksztalcenia Praktycznego im. Wincentego Witosa in Bujny, we are implementing the project called The development of professional competencies – internships for students of the Wincenty Witos Vocational School Practical Training Centre in Bujny. The project number 2017-1-PL01-KA102-037656 is realized within the framework of a systemic project Transnational mobility of students, graduates and vocational education staff, co-financed by the European Union under the European Social Fund, Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development.
The overriding goal of the project, achieved in the long-term horizon, is to support students in acquiring practical professional competences in an international environment and to indicate their suitability, which in turn will increase their chances of finding employment in the profession in which they obtained education. A number of specific objectives will contribute to the full achievement of the main objective, including:
– providing 35 students of the ZS CKP in Bujny the opportunity to gain work experience by implementing foreign internships. In this context, the project harmonizes with the education requirements in force at the School, as mobility will replace the necessity of compulsory practices provided for in the core curriculum;
– giving young people a chance for practical verification of knowledge acquired in the theory, at school. The internship will enable learning the realities of work in the profession and confronting them with expectations, which will allow future graduates to know what potential employers may require;
– the possibility of encountering innovative work methods and modern tools used in agricultural and forestry industries;
– development by 35 participants of competences in the field of using a foreign language or – more broadly speaking – communication in intercultural conditions;
– creating a social inclusion opportunity for at least 20 students with fewer opportunities;
– development of international contacts of the School, serving both the effective implementation of this project, but also creating the basis for subsequent activities.
The project goals outlined in this way correspond to the identified needs of the School’s pupils and teachers, as well as to main goals of our activities.
In frame of the project, 35 students of ZS CKP in Bujny will take internships in cooperation with us, in Greek enterprises. The mobility experience will be implemented within the framework of a two-week stay in Greece, which will take place on 23/04 – 04/05/2018.
Can’t wait to meet those young active people! 🙂
Together with the School from Poland – Zespół Szkół Ponadgimnazjalnych Centrum Kształcenia Ustawicznego im. Władysława Stanisława Reymonta in Szydłów we are organizing the project called „The practice will create a master, so: You know more – You can do more!”. The initiative is a response to the needs of young people and teachers of the School. As students and staff pointed on a number of areas for development in the field of education and the desire to carry out this project, the mobility is a response to the identified, existing needs.
The duration of the project is a total of 16 months, from 01.09.2017 to 31.12.2018 and the main activities are planned for 70 students in total who will go to foreign internships and will be accompanied by six tutors from the School. Under the project there will be 3 mobilities for:
The primary purpose is to help 70 students of ZSP in Szydłów in entering the labor market through the development of their professional skills and work experience, making them attractive for potential future co-workers and a number of employers. Action presupposes completion of trips for training abroad. Participants will be selected according to established criteria for recruitment.
The specific objectives of the project include:
– gaining new knowledge about standards in the profession through gaining practical skills, dealing with duties, as real example of work in specific enterprises;
– acquiring the ability to adapt to different working and living conditions;
– knowledge and opportunity to experience other cultures, mainly Greek through traineeship in partners’ companies from this country. Consequently, young people will gain active, open and tolerant attitudes that enable them to actively participate in the life of their society, building a sense of European integration and identity in the European spirit;
– the acquisition of a range of skills and changing attitudes to more open, allowing international contacts and, consequently – expanding opportunities for personal growth and enhancing employment opportunities, not only in the domestic and European labor market, but also beyond their borders. The newly-acquired expertise will also be confirmed by few certificates, making the documentation of the passing process easier;
– increasing the linguistic competence of participants – primarily in English, which is the working language of the internship, but also the opportunity to get used to the language of Greek people;
– making the school’s offer and its possibilities more attractive in the area of giving it an international character in the fields of training, education and youth work, making educational institution which will be able to effectively answer the needs of the ever increasing demands of youth;
– strengthen the synergies effect, through a combination of methods of formal and non-formal education, trainings and internships with the inoculation among young people the idea of entrepreneurship;
– supporting the process of improvement and continuing education staff, through active participation in the project, its coordination, as well as participation in various range of activities, which greatly expand the horizons of teachers and caregivers. This will allow the introduction of innovation, and thus – improving training methods.
The project participants will acquire during their internships a number of competencies that can be divided into two sub-categories: core and professional competencies, as well as so-called „soft-skills”. Consequently, they not only fit to the obligatory program of making internships while being a student, but also give valuable experience with the use of theoretical knowledge. Also youth will gain a new, open base, strengthen their self-confidence, making their CVs more attractive and – by all of those – increasing the chance of finding a dream job in their profession.
The first mobility is going to happen soon, so we will inform You how it was! 🙂
