The profile of a participant corresponds mainly to one of the following categories: • company training managers; • directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; • directors of guidance centres; • directors of validation or accreditation centres; • educational and vocational training inspectors; • head teachers, teacher trainers; • heads of departments; • human resource managers; • owners/managers of SMEs; • pedagogical or guidance advisers; • representatives of chambers of commerce/ industry/crafts; • representatives of education and training networks and associations; • representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; • representatives of employers’ organisations; • representatives of local, regional and national authorities • representatives of trade unions; • researchers. The groups normally consist of 10 to15 participants. Study visits are organised locally or regionally and coordinated by the National Agency.

Developing skills for the knowledge society 1.5. Making the best use of resources WHY? The municipality of Ringkøbing – Skjern is – after a structural reform in Denmark implemented on 1 January 2007, the largest municipality of Denmark, 1458 km2 with 58 000 people living there; 7 000 children attending primary school and 2 200 children attend kindergartens. The municipality of Ringkøbing – Skjern is placed in the western part of Denmark far away from the capital and other cities with universities and other educational institutions. That fact can cause an educational gap in our area. Being aware of this forces the local authority, local administration, leaders and staff of kindergartens, school headmasters and teachers to create the best kindergartens and schools – within economical limits – so that our children and young people can have the best education, childhood and youth. WHAT? Our local government has decided that all our schools should be updated on ICT – educationally and technically, and that there must be cooperation between kindergartens and schools so that the transition is as smooth as possible for the children. A youth school offering teaching in young peopleʼs spare time and a musical school offering musical education, also in the pupilʼs spare time are some of the means to reach our objective. We think that having a good childhood in our part of Denmark will make young people/families move back when they have finished their education. Our objective is to have kindergartens and primary and secondary schools of high standards so that young families with children want to settle in our area. Participants will get some idea of how the Danish system for day care and education is being practised in the western part of Denmark. Examples of good practice will be presented and discussed. HOW? We plan to illustrate and discuss our objectives by visits to kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, schools and clubs offering activities to children and young people in their spare time. If time allows, we also will visit museums and libraries that cooperate with schools and kindergartens. We also plan to have discussions with local administrators and politicians. WHOM? • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of local, regional and national authorities. SHORT DESCRIPTION IN THE HOST COUNTRY’S LANGUAGE: Organiser(s): HØRSTED Preben Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune The municipality of ringkøbing Skjern 6920 Videbæk Tel. +45- 99 74 10 82 Email: preben.horsted@rksk.dk Website: www.rksk.dk Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune er arealmæssigt landets største. Kommunen er beliggende i den vestlige del af landet, langt fra universitetsbyer og andre byer med videregående uddannelser. Dette kan medføre et uddannelsesmæssigt underskud. Dette fordrer, at personale og ledere, administration og politikere – inden for de økonomiske rammer – søger at skabe de bedste børnehaver og skoler for at give børn og unge den bedste barndom og uddannelse. Lokalt er det ønsket, at de unge får den bedste grunduddannelse, rejser ud og får sig en videregående uddannelse og derefter måske vender tilbage til området. Det er også et mål, at få børnefamilier til at bosætte sig. Gennem besøg på en række skoler, børnehaver og andre institutioner, der arbejder med børn og unge i alderen 0-18 år, vil vi beskrive hvorledes dette arbejder konkret finder sted i vores kommune. Der vil blive lagt op til drøftelser af de udfordringer, der kommer af at være beliggende i et udkantsområde.

Lo scopo è di accrescere la consapevolezza europea e lʼapprezzamento reciproco nei docenti, soprattutto con il lavoro di gruppo e/o cooperazioni a distanza sulle tradizioni culturali, su argomenti di studio ed esperienze personali e scolastiche: la visita si fonda sullo scambio di idee e materiale, conoscenze e competenze per attuare una Comunità Unita. Le diverse attività sono pertanto rivolte allʼapprofondimento delle conoscenze sugli aspetti istituzionali, economici, storici e sociali dei diversi paesi europei. Verrà curata con particolare attenzione la dimensione dello scambio culturale tra insegnanti allo scopo di sperimentare direttamente lo stile di vita e le caratteristiche umane delle rispettive popolazioni. In questo modo si promuove la consapevolezza delle qualità di ognuna abbattendo i pregiudizi che derivano dai luoghi comuni generalizzati.

Bu önceliklerden birinin ihmali mesleki eğitimde de yetersizliklerin sebebi olabilmektedir. Gelecekteki eğitim ve iş istihdamı için; bireylerin ihtiyaçları, mevcut meslekler, mevcut teknolojiler ve kültürel miras konularının tümünün önemi büyüktür. Programın bir diğer amacı da Türk ve Avrupa mesleki eğitim sistemlerini teknoloji ve sanatsal kültür açısından karşılaştırma imkanı sunmaktır. Modern teknolojinin kullanımı kadar sanatın ve kültürün de geleceğin iş istihdamına büyük etkisi olacaktır. Yöremiz okullarında ve yerel sanat atölyelerinde gözlemler yaparak; konu ile ilgili verilecek derslerde bulunarak katılımcıların, okuldaki teknoloji, kültürler arası eğitim, kültürel ve sanatsal miras konularını ve tüm bunların meslek okullarına etkisini daha iyi anlamaları amaçlanmaktadır.

En outre, notre enseignement est organisé par différents pouvoirs qui jouissent tous de la liberté pédagogique, ce qui nécessite un pilotage du système. Enfin, beaucoup dʼécoles doivent faire face à des élèves en difficulté et sʼadapter à la présence dʼun nombre élevé dʼélèves issus de lʼimmigration. Langue de travail: français Nombre de places: 15 Minimum requis: 8 QUOI? A travers différentes visites dans des établissements, le groupe pourra se rendre compte du travail effectué en Communauté française de Belgique. COMMENT?

Koncepcja ta wspiera ucznia na indywidualnym poszukiwaniu skutecznego uczenia się, ale nie przy pomocy stopni szkolnych tylko poprzez współpracę nauczyciela z uczniami. Uczestnicy kursu będą mieli okazję odwiedzić szkoły (podstawowe, gimnazjalne, ponadgimnazjalne i zawodowe) i porozmawiać z nauczycielami, uczniami i dyrektorami szkół, które wprowadziły tę nową metodę oceniania. Zaplanowane są spotkania z przedstawicielami samorządów lokalnych (z urzędów miejskich, gminnych i starostw) aby przeprowadzić debatę na ten temat i wymianę doświadczeń oraz spotkania ze specjalistami, którzy poprowadzą warsztaty szkoleniowe dla uczestników.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 1.2. Developing skills for the knowledge society WHY? Today economies require a flexible, employable workforce, able to cope with rapid changes in the labour market. Employersʼ demand shows that besides knowledge and professionals skills, soft skills/key competences are essential for work performance. Skills, such as effective communication, flexibility, independence, decisivness, cooperation, are needed by employers but not taught in the “traditional” education system. Under the leadership of RPIC-VIP, a reserch group of training experts and education methodologists developed and verified a set of 14 innovative training programmes. The aim is to improve the level of key competences of people from child to senior age. The method is based on experiential learning (learning by doing/playing) supported by an original methodology. The programmes were successfully verified by more than 100 education, training and project experts and trainees. They were also transferred and adapted into English. At present they are implemented both nationally, ready for further dissemination. WHAT? • Debate on the importance of key competences for performance at work and in personal life; • trying and understanding Czech innovate training programmes; • sharing ideas and experiences in key competences development; • development of opportunities for further cooperation and dissemination. HOW? • • • • Visiting the Centre of Excellence for Key Competences Development (RPIC-VIP); participating in selected training; discussing with experts, developers, certified trainers for key competences; seminar/workshops. WHOM? Company training managers; directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; head teachers, teacher trainers; human resource managers; owners/managers of SMEs; representatives of chambers of commerce/ industry/crafts; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of employersʼ organisations; representatives of trade unions.

Na základě výsledků jsme vytipovali 14 kommpetencí do tzv. Kompetenčního modelu Moravskoslezského kraje. Od roku 2005 jsme začali připravovat tréninkové progaramy k rozvoji těchto kompetencí. Nejedná se přitom o žádné “klasické” učení, ale o Komenského školu hrou neboli anglickým překladem “learning by doing”. Jsou to několikadenní tréniky, které jsou naplněny praktickými cvičeními. Představte si například soustředění sportovního týmu někde na horách, kde pod vedením trenérů nabírají hráči kondici a procvičují herní varianty. Tak nějak obdobně to probíhá i u nás. Za přípravou tréninkových programů k jednotlivým kompetncím jsou tisíce hodin práce vývojového týmu v rámci Rozvojového partnerství v rámci iniciativy Společenství EQUAL. Vytvořené programy byly ověřeny s klienty, kterými jsou zaměstnanci firem, studenti i čerství absolventi, ale také nezaměstnaní. Jejich názory jsou důležité pro doladění celého programu. Programy k tréninku kompetencí chceme do budoucna využít pro co nejvíce firem, zaměstnanců i nezaměstnaných, ale také pro žáky a studenty. Tím chceme zacelit mezeru ve vzdělávacím systému dětí i dospělých. Tvrdíme, že vybrané kompetence lze trénovat a že je může zlepšovat každý. Proto celý soubor uvádíme pod příznačným sloganem “Máme na to”, což je i oficiální internetová adresa projektu – www.mamenato.cz. Tady si můžete i sami otestovat, jak na tom s jednotlivými kompetencemi jste.

Menimo, da bo tema seminarja dovolj zanimiva za organizacije, ki se ukvarjajo z izobraževanjem odraslih v večjih evropskih državah. Študijski obisk bomo organizirali v prostorih Ljudske univerze Ptuj, kjer razpolagamo z dobro usposobljenimi in opremljenimi prostori , kakor tudi s sposobnim osebjem. Odločili smo se, da bomo izbrali področje učenja s podporo najsodobnejše tehnologije, ki ga pri nas že nekaj časa izvajamo in sprotno posodabljamo. S pomočjo uvajanja e-učenja pripomoremo k temu, da je izobraževanje dostopnejše najširši javnosti, je tudi cenejše in hitrejše. Ob tem pa se seveda zavedamo, da je in bo ostal osebni stik najpomembnejši dejavnik. Ptuj ima kar nekaj nastanitvenih zmogljivosti, zato s samo nastanitvijo udeležencev seminarja ne pričakujemo težav. Predavanja bodo pripravili naši zunanji in notranji strokovnjaki, ki tudi pripravljajo spletna gradiva, indekse, ocenjevanje ipd. Ker vemo, da je tovrstno izobraževanje ponekod v Evropi že močno razširjeno, pričakujemo od tega obiska predvsem izmenjavo dobrih praks, ki bo koristila vsem, najbolj pa udeležencem izobraževanj. Za goste bomo pripravili tudi srečanje z nekaterimi našimi udeleženci, da bodo dobili najbolj iskren vtis, kako le-ti doživljajo in uporabljajo tovrstno učenje. Za konec predvidevamo pripravo evalvacije in zaključnega poročila o študijskem obisku. Ob tem pa seveda upamo, da bomo z gosti iz tujine pridobili nove izkušnje, koristne strokovne napotke, predvsem pa dobra poznanstva, ki bodo vsem omogočile nadaljnje tesnejše sodelovanje.

Förderung von aktivem Bürgersinn, Chancengleichheit und gesellschaftlichem Zusammenhalt WARUM? 11/5/2009-15/5/2009 Königswinter, Bonn Deutschland Arbeitssprache: Deutsch Anzahl der Teilnehmerplätze: 10 Erforderliche Mindestanzahl: 8 Schulverweigerung, Schulangst, Schulmüdigkeit sind Themen, mit denen sich alle Schulformen auseinandersetzen müssen, weisen sie doch auf ein gesellschaftliches Phänomen hin, dessen Einflussfaktoren vielfältig sind. Diese Veranstaltung ist für alle interessant, die als politische Entscheidungsträger oder in Schule und Jugendarbeit Tätige mit diesem Thema konfrontiert sind. Relevant sind die damit verbundenen Fragestellungen und Konzeptentwicklungen für die Ziele der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung 2010. Das zunehmende Auftreten von Schulverweigerung deckt offene Spannungen in dem komplexen Beziehungsdreieck zwischen Kind, Familie und Schule auf. Dass in Deutschland 400.000 Kinder zwischen 13 und 16 Jahre als Schulverweigerer verzeichnet werden können, und ca. 86.000 Kinder und Jugendliche die Schule ohne Abschluss verlassen und dann viele von ihnen in die Kriminalität abrutschen, zeigt die Notwendigkeit entsprechenden Handelns auf. WAS? Durch den Besuch verschiedener Einrichtungen und Diskussionsrunden mit Lehrern, Schulleitern, Eltern, Schülern, Sozialpädagogen und Entscheidungsträgern auf politischer Ebene können die Teilnehmer unterschiedliche Konzepte und Positionen zu diesem gesellschaftlichen Brennpunkt erfahren, sich austauschen und individuelle konzeptionelle Überlegungen gemeinsam entwickeln. Die Drachenfelsschule arbeitet eng zusammen mit einem Projekt, das sich um schulverweigernde Mädchen und junge Frauen kümmert. Daneben besteht ein enger Kontakt zu anderen Institutionen wie Jugendamt, Universität und Jugendhilfeeinrichtungen, die sich intensiv um dieses Thema kümmern. WIE? Bei ihrem Besuch können die Teilnehmer/innen verschiedene Einrichtungen kennen lernen, die sich um schulverweigernde Kinder und Jugendliche kümmern.

Supporting active citizenship, equal opportunities and social cohesion 3.3. Improving foreign language learning WHY? All international observers agree that childrens futures will be effected by a multiethnic society where phenomena of violence and intolerance may occur. At the same time, some think that international terrorism is a problem which may persist in the future and cannot be defeated only by politics of contrast. The hardest problem school face is to verify if and how it is possible to educate towards peace and intercultural exchange effectively. WHAT? Participants will have the opportunity to: • verify how the theme of intercultural exchange and peace is connected and linked to school politics of each State; • learn the way each school starts didactic experiences of sensibility about this subject; • emphasise the role of foreign language learning to understand different cultures; • share and compare programmes and initiatives adopted in EU countries towards language learning; • share and compare adopted didactic technologies. HOW? • Two different meetings: • the first on ʻDidactics of education for civilized human society as a means of promoting culture for peaceʼ; • the second about ʻIntercultural exchange as the main instrument to plan instructive syllabusʼ; • a workshop to illustrate the instructive syllabus carried out on the chosen topics by schools involved in the visit programme; • two ʻmaster classʼ days on subjects discussed previously. WHOM? • • • • • • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; human resource managers; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of employersʼ organisations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers. SHORT DESCRIPTION IN THE HOST COUNTRY’S LANGUAGE: Organiser(s): ESPOSITO Gennaro Istituto Comprensivo “Galilei” Vico Carducci 9 74100 Taranto Tel. +39-368 742 11 86 Fax +39-099 470 68 66 Email: istitutogalileita@libero.it Website: www.progettorussia.it La scelta del tema è stata suggerita dalla consapevolezza che l’Educazione alla diversità culturale e linguistica rappresenta una delle sfide pedagogiche del nostro tempo, oltre che uno degli aspetti più significativi di quella Società della Conoscenza che viene delineata nei documenti della Conferenza di Lisbona. A tal proposito si desidera sottolineare il ruolo del multilinguismo quale fattore di comprensione delle culture “altre”. La Visita di Studio proposta è la quarta consecutiva organizzata dall’Istituto Comprensivo “Galilei”, quale sede amministrativa ed organizzativa della Rete “Progetto Russia”. La Rete è nata nel 2001 e comprende 10 scuole della Provincia di Taranto. Scopo della Rete è quello di realizzare esperienze di partenariato didattico e professionale con alcune scuole della Città di Mosca (www.progettorussia.it). In questo quadro, la realizzazione di una Visita di Studio in contemporanea con la visita di una Delegazione proveniente da Mosca, consente una rete di rapporti e di confronti certamente originale.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 3.5. Strengthening the European co-operation WHY? Implementation of EU-funded projects in education plays an increasing role Europe-wide. EUfunded educational projects support national political strategies in implementing an efficient, transparent and coherent educational policy. Only if the results are integrated as much as possible into educational practice, will Lisbon aims be achieved. Quite often the end of the EUfunding also means the end of cooperation and dissemination and long-term sustainability of results is not accomplished. The aim of the study visit is to enable stakeholders of general and vocational education to jointly map out strategies to support the successful transfer of project results into educational practice. In the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, ministries and other educational stakeholders have begun to facilitate networking with coordinators of EU-funded projects and support the transfer of the results of these projects into educational practice. WHAT? During the study visit this networking strategy will be presented and discussed with participants. It is also considered to implement similar activities – if applicable in a joint EU-project – concurrently in several European regions. Synergy can be created and successful valorisation strategies in exchanging ʻbest-practice-examplesʼ can be established. HOW? Besides discussion with project coordinators from schools, universities and institutions for teacher training (and further training), round table discussions will offer an incentive to exchange experiences and consider further European cooperation.

SHORT DESCRIPTION IN THE HOST COUNTRY’S LANGUAGE: Europaweit hat die Durchführung von EU-Projekten im Bildungsbereich in den letzten Jahren einen immer größeren Stellenwert eingenommen. Wenn die Erkenntnisse und Ergebnisse, die in EU-Projekten gewonnen werden, möglichst umfänglich in die Bildungspraxis der Länder und Regionen einfließen können, rückt auch die Umsetzung der Lissabonziele in erreichbare Nähe. Dieser Transferprozess ist jedoch nicht immer einfach. Nicht selten bedeutet das Ende der EU-Förderung in EU-Projekten auch das Ende der gemeinsamen Zusammenarbeit und es gelingt nicht, die gewonnen Erkenntnisse im Sinne einer Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie dauerhaft zu verbreiten und umzusetzen. Ziel des Studienbesuchs ist es, gemeinsam mit bildungspolitischen Akteuren der schulischen und beruflichen Bildung Strategien zu erarbeiten, wie in europäischen Regionen ein solcher Transfer erfolgreich bildungspolitisch unterstützt und umgesetzt werden kann. 128 CEDEFOP – STUDY VISITS EUROPEAN DIMENSION IN EDUCATION International learning routes in secondary general education Group No: 272 Type of visit: General education 8/12/2008-12/12/2008 In the South of the Netherlands Working language: English Number of places: 15 Minimum required: 10 EDUCATION AND TRAINING 2010 OBJECTIVES: 3.5. Strengthening the European co-operation WHY? Secondary general schools use European standards and frameworks to add structure and depth to their international activities with pupils and teachers. This study visit aims at sharing concepts of ʻinternational learning routesʼ and encouraging implementation in the curriculum of other schools and countries. Pupils and parents can choose these routes to prepare better young European citizens for their future study and work in the European Union and beyond. WHAT? Many secondary schools offer one or more international learning routes, supported by the European platform and the Ministry of Education. Two are the European network Elos Europe as a learning environment in schools (www.europelearning.info) and CertiLingua (www.learn-line.nrw.de/angebote//certilingua/). Establishing a European/international school profile is an option for schools with sound experience in international cooperation, a stable network of partner schools in Europe, and the willingness to change lesson plans, train teachers and adjust structures. Pupils can document their international achievements in (selfevaluation) portfolios or instruments such as ʻEuropassʼ (www.europass.cedefop.europa.eu/). The visit invites participants who represent, advise, inspect or research schools that fit this profile to have a closer look at these innovations. HOW? Participants will: • experience how Dutch schools put the international learning routes into practice; • exchange views with various stakeholders, such as students, teachers, coordinators, and expert organisations, on how to implement such international learning routes in their own school or country and how to cooperate in relevant international innovation networks. WHOM? • • • • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of validation or accreditation centres; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 2.2. Making learning more attractive WHY? • When Slovenia became a member of EU we started to include the values of EU as a common home of European nations into our education system; nevertheless, we have been trying to preserve our national identity, as well. We find it very important that teachers, management and other services from different European countries get acquainted with our efforts and that we can present them our solutions. • Learning a foreign language at an early age (presentation of good practice in kindergartens and primary schools) is essential for a small nation as we Slovenians are so we would like to present the efforts of the Slovene school institutions to introduce learning of a foreign language at an early age. • Since education in the field of technology and science is very important we will present new programmes in education in these fields (introduction of a new programme mechatronics, its practical implementation and its first results). • One reason we would like to present European dimension of education is we have a lot of experience in this field. Our school is a part of a pilot project European classes where the European dimension in education is emphasised. We are very experienced in international projects, as well. (Comenius, Arion, E-twinning, ACES (Academy of Central European Schools), ASEF (European Asian Foundation), UNESCO ASPnet schools). WHAT? Participants will get acquainted with: • all levels of Slovene education system; • the European Classes project; • the project Didactic reform of gimnazija (general education school); • the modernisation scheme of general and technical education in Slovenia; • the teachers training scheme in Slovenia; • how to develop European dimension in the class (good practice); • methods in teaching a foreign language at an early age; • cultural and historical sights of the oldest town in Slovenia, Ptuj. HOW?

Prikazali jim bomo kako in na kakšen način smo poskusno uvedli evropske oddelke v sistem splošnega izobraževanja. Program evropskih oddelkov temelji predvsem na kurikularni integraciji in interdisciplinarnosti znanja. Na primerih dobre prakse se bodo udeleženci seznanili s problemi in težavami pri uvajanju novosti v izobraževalni sistem, spoznali pa bodo tudi pot pri modificiranju programa evropskih oddelkih. Pri prikazu edukativne slike slovenskega izobraževalnega sistema bomo organizirali obiske na celotni piramidi izobraževanja od vrtcev, osnovnih in srednjih šol do fakultet. Udeležence bomo seznanili tudi z izobraževalnimi institucijami kot so Ministrstvo za šolstvo in šport, Zavod za šolstvo, Center za poklicno izobraževanje, CMEPIUS. Evropska in globalna dimenzija je v enotnem evropskem prostoru neophodno potrebno razvijati tudi v izobraževalnem sistemu. S študijskim obiskom pa ne želimo udeležencem prikazati le razvoja evropske in globalne dimenzije v slovenskem splošno izobraževalnem sistemu, temveč želimo pokazati, kako ti dve dimenziji združujemo z razvojem nacionalne identitete, kajti le vse tri zagotavljajo možnosti za oblikovanje aktivnega in enakopravnega državljana v nacionalni, evropski in globalni skupnosti.

Rasetti de Castiglione del Lago et dʼautres établissements scolaires du territoire de Trasimeno qui ont déjà créé un réseau Comenius avec plusieurs partenaires européens. Ce réseau a ainsi établi avec succès des partenariats scolaires non seulement locaux et régionaux, mais également européens sur le “jardin” comme héritage commun et instrument dʼéducation à la citoyenneté active européenne. Ce même réseau a participé avec enthousiasme à une visite dʼétude en 2007 organisée par la Région de lʼOmbrie (CRIDEA), focalisant lʼattention sur la thématique de lʼéducation environnementale et des expériences pilotes menées dans le cadre du projet régional “eco@tlante”. QUOI? Cette visite dʼétude assure un écho et une continuité pour les projets pluriannuels Comenius Partenariats scolaires “Le jardin, monument vivant. Pédagogie du patrimoine des jardins en Europe”, grâce auxquels un réseau européen a été constitué. Lʼintention de cette visite dʼétude consiste à échanger des connaissances et améliorer la sensibilisation des élèves envers les thématiques européennes de lʼantiquité (mythes et valeurs) à nos jours (valeurs et intégration) se proposant les objectifs suivants: stimuler des processus de recherche et partage des valeurs européennes via lʼanalyse de la culture européenne à partir dʼévènements historiques chronologiquement plus lointains, qui nous enseigne à redécouvrir les formes antiques de cohabitation pacifique et de dialogues interculturels réussis. COMMENT? • Rencontres avec les directeurs des écoles du territoire de Trasimeno impliqués dans les projets Comenius: état de lʼart, échanges, confrontations, initiatives et perspectives de collaboration pour lʼavenir. • Visite de lʼOffice scolaire régional: rencontre avec le responsable de la commission qui sʼoccupe du projet “Plus dʼEurope à lʼécole”. • Visite de lʼOffice Europe Direct de la Province de Perugia. • Formation intensive ainsi structurée: séminaires (à lʼaide dʼinstruments multimédiaux) sur le mythe dʼEurope, histoire de lʼintégration européenne et engagement civil; moments dʼapprofondissement et dʼéchanges; groupes de travail, formulation de parcours didactiques; rapport final. Résultats attendus: diffusion des modèles de formation et bonnes pratiques relativement à la citoyenneté active européenne; renforcement et/ou élargissement du réseau européen avec les divers établissement dʼéducation et de formation, entreprises et administrations. POUR QUI? Inspecteurs d΄enseignement et de formation professionnels; professeurs principaux, formateurs d΄enseignants; chefs de départements; conseillers pédagogiques ou d΄orientation; représentants des autorités locales, régionales et nationales; chercheurs.

Tuttavia, il pieno esercizio della “cittadinanza europea” è da intendersi ancora come work in progress. E’ dunque necessario educare alla cittadinanza, incoraggiando reciproca conoscenza e solidarietà nella società civile partendo dalla scuola. E’ una responsabilità dell’educazione e della formazione contribuire a trasmettere una cultura basata su valori condivisi, nel quadro dei principi di dialogo e rispetto delle varie forme di “diversità”. Come? Studiando e analizzando, come esempio operativo, il lavoro svolto in maniera trasversale ed interdisciplinare dalla rete delle scuole del Trasimeno in partnership con scuole europee. Questo lavoro, con risultati e prodotti diversi, illustra gli scambi di conoscenze sul “paesaggio locale” degli alunni di ogni tipo e grado scolastico per giungere alla consapevolezza di appartenere tutti insieme ad uno stesso “giardino”.

Améliorer lʼéducation et la formation des enseignants et des formateurs 1.2. Développer les compétences nécessaires dans la société de la connaissance POURQUOI? Le sujet est essentiel dans le cadre du LLP (programme dʼaction pour lʼéducation et la formation tout au long de la vie) et il concerne lʼactivité clé 4: il sʼagit dʼune innovation qui témoigne de la prise de conscience croissante chez les décideurs politiques et les parties prenantes de la nécessité de garantir une incidence maximale des projets et actions financés par lʼUE en appui à lʼagenda de Lisbonne et à la mise en œuvre du programme de travail Éducation et Formation 2010. Lʼobjectif premier est de contribuer à la création dʼun cadre propice à une exploitation effective des résultats au niveau local, sectoriel, régional, national et européen. Rôle et efficacité de lʼéchange de bonnes pratiques: la découverte et lʼacceptation de lʼexistence dʼune mine de savoirs et dʼexpériences non exploitées ont fait changer le regard porté sur les pratiques locales. La nouvelle approche fait penser quʼil est possible dʼaméliorer les politiques éducatives par lʼintégration de projets. Le lycée Cagnazzi a mis en œuvre une activité de formation des enseignants au niveau national et européen et, depuis 2003, il coordonne le Réseau Comenius 3 EWHUM. QUOI? Le stage offrira lʼoccasion de: apprendre à faire des «morceaux» dʼécole ensemble, en partageant lʼexpérience des autres à travers lʼéchange de «bonnes pratiques»; connaître et partager lʼaction de valorisation et diffusion lancée par le LLP en soutien à la Stratégie de Lisbonne; réfléchir et partager lʼaction de «réseau» dans lʼactivité dʼenseignement/apprentissage; promouvoir lʼaptitude à travailler en réseau, avec le soutien des TIC, pour améliorer la qualité des systèmes scolaires; apprendre à valoriser lʼexcellence dans le processus dʼenseignement/apprentissage; comparer les pratiques dʼintégration des projets européens dans les différents pays; renforcer la dimension européenne de lʼéducation à travers lʼemploi des différentes actions du LLP. COMMENT? On organisera des activités visant à: présenter lʼaction de valorisation et difusion dans les projets européens; présenter et débattre autour des activités entreprises par le réseau EWHUM au niveau européen pour promouvoir une application concrète de résultats (conférences, séminaires et autres échanges entre des produits et de nouveaux utilisateurs potentiels); exploiter les résultats dans le réseau EWHUM: réseaux nationaux des lycées, études documentaires, projets, festivals, stages, etc. comparer des expériences de partage et de valorisation de «bonnes pratiques» dans les différents systèmes scolaires européens; promouvoir des rencontres avec les proviseurs dʼétablissements scolaires engagés dans le LLP; visiter des établissements scolaires, universitaires et de recherche engagés dans le LLP (rencontres organisées avec chefs dʼétablissement, enseignants et élèves). POUR QUI? Professeurs principaux, formateurs d΄enseignants; chefs de départements; responsables des ressources humaines; propriétaires/administrateurs de PME; conseillers pédagogiques ou d΄orientation; représentants de services éducatifs, d΄agences pour l΄emploi ou de centres d΄orientation; représentants des autorités locales, régionales et nationales; chercheurs. BRÈVE DESCRIPTION DANS LA LANGUE DU PAYS D’ACCUEIL: La visita di studio offrirà ai partecipanti l’opportunità di riflettere, di scambiare opinioni e di condividere esperienze sul tema della valorizzazione e disseminazione dei prodotti e dei risultati nel processo di insegnamento-apprendimento, con particolare riguardo ai progetti europei, in coerenza con quanto previsto dall’attività chiave n.4 del programma LLP e con l’obiettivo di perseguire la qualità e l’eccellenza nei sistemi scolastici europei. In tale prospettiva sarà favorito il confronto in merito al ruolo e all’efficacia dello scambio delle “best practices” attraverso l’integrazione dei progetti e dei prodotti educativi. L’esperienza e le competenze maturate dall’istituto organizzatore nell’ambito della formazione degli insegnanti e del coordinamento di Reti nazionali ed europee di scuole, consentiranno ai partecipanti la conoscenza di prodotti e di risultati utili per il potenziamento del lavoro in rete e per la costruzione in comune di segmenti di curricoli europei.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 3.4. Increasing mobility and exchange WHY? We understand that travel and tourism industry demands highly applicable cadre to enter the labour market after graduation on different levels. Since sources for education are limited we find the objective of ʻhandingʼ out really skilled and trained tourism experts a real challenge. Tourism has been recognized as one of the most successful world economies and it has proved to be a great opportunity for small emerging economies (Slovenia). Therefore we would like to show a few cases where our sector has made real success and exchange views with scholars and trainers about their experiences in the area of applicable teaching. Portorož is one of the most developed and branded tourism areas in Slovenia so the visit will start there but afterwards we intend to show some other areas in Slovenia as well. WHAT? Number of places: 10 Minimum required: 6 Participants will learn about the ʻeducational pathʼ of tourism experts, starting with vocational training and concluding with higher education (e.g. waiter - graduate tourism organiser). The main purpose is to show how Slovenia is coping with education in tourism under different limitations (limited financial resources for education sector) and exchange experiences with participants. Tourism is recognised as one of the most important economies within the country (as well as in Europe) so we would like to point out some particularly good practices where traditional teaching and new methods of tourism training have met with excellent success. HOW? The objectives of the visit will be met by: • visiting different institutions related to education for tourism (vocational schools for catering and tourism Ljubljana, Velenje); Vocational college for catering and tourism Bled, Vocational College for Catering and tourism Maribor; Turistica - College of tourism Portorose to show examples of theoretical and practical didactics; • attending workshops with students and managers to discuss about the gap between learning process & approach and the needs of the industry. • meeting and talking with NGOʼs in the field of catering and tourism industry to discuss additional training programs for the needs of the industry; • visiting few good practices where young graduates made successful business; • learning about how tourism opportunities are turned into advantages in terms of tourism industry. There will be one round table where relevant authorities will discuss challenges for tourism training and development in central and Eastern Europe. WHOM? • • • • • • • Company training managers; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; human resource managers; owners/managers of SMEs; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers WHY? One characteristic of education and training staff in vocational education and training in Germany is the clear distinction between in-company trainers and teachers in vocational schools and thus the substantial differences with regard to role, status, education and activity. In the course of the introduction of ICTs there are new skill requirements for the personnel in training enabling them to prepare apprentices/students for working and living in the knowledge society. Get a better/good understanding of: • qualification and recruitment of trainers; • the work of trainers and their working environments; • policies and practices related to training of trainers and their implications and effectiveness of possible professional development pathways. WHAT? • Qualifications and professional development of VET teachers and trainers in different learning environments; • criteria and methods for identifying the learning needs of VET teachers and trainers; • continuous adaptation of education and training curricula for VET teachers and trainers; • new skills and competences for VET teachers, trainers and other learning facilitators essential in a lifelong learning context; • new forms of cooperation and exchange between VET teachers working in schools and VET trainers working in companies and/or organisations providing training; • innovative training offers for VET teachers and trainers.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers WHY? The General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) was set up in 1965. It was the first such body for teachers in the United Kingdom and one of the first teaching councils in the world. The council is funded from annual registration fees paid by teachers, not the public purse. Amongst its key functions are: to maintain a register of those entitled to teach in Scotland; to review the standards of education of persons entering teaching Scotland; to oversee the management of the probationary period for teachers; to accredit all programmes leading to the award of chartered teacher and the Scottish qualification for headship. WHAT? The study visit will offer participants an opportunity to learn about, discuss and debate recent innovations in the professional development of teachers within Scottish education including those in: • initial teacher education (ITE) in the universities; • the one year teacher induction scheme for new teachers; • continuing professional development (CPD); • chartered teacher programme (CT); • Scottish qualification for headship (SQH); • the use of professional standards. The roles of the GTCS in professional development will be explored. HOW? The study visit will make use of: • presentations from GTCS staff and guest speakers such as Director of Education, Her Majestyʼs Inspectorate of Education, Scottish Government; • discussions; • school, further and higher education visits. WHOM? • • • • • • • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of guidance centres; directors of validation or accreditation centres; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of employersʼ organisations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; representatives of trade unions; researchers.

Towards a community school Group No: 291 Type of visit: General education 2/3/2009-6/3/2009 Lucca, Toscana Italy Working language: English Number of places: 15 Minimum required: 5 EDUCATION AND TRAINING 2010 OBJECTIVES: 1.1. Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 2.1. Open learning environment WHY? Unfortunately teaching tends to be an individual practice which remains isolated. We think that practices should be shared, circulated, diffused, documented and reproduced. This is what a community of practices should be. In the “Without a backpack” project we want to create a community of practices which considers four levels of interaction: • community of practices at a school level (basic level); • community of practices at an institutional level (institution consisting of a group of schools); • community of practices at a network of school institutions in the “Without a backpack” project level; • community of practices at national, European and international levels. From 2002, the “Without a backpack” project has involved 15 institutes in Tuscany, which take part in this experimental process assessed every year. The project has been promoted by Agenzia Scuola of Tuscany (the regional educational research institute), by the Town Council of Lucca, by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca. WHAT? The following points will be considered: • sharing “practices” and knowledge; • mutual observation as exchange of practices; • mutual observation as peer review; • mutual support; • organisation and documentation on development of the learning objective. HOW? We propose the following activities: • visiting schools and classes during teaching and learning activities (for example with the support of a grid); • taking part in a routine teacher meeting and in classes; • sharing previous experiences among participants; • observing, analysing and testing exchange practices; • examining and discussing documentation about best practices; • meeting local school authorities, parents and head teachers involved in our project. WHOM? • • • • • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of validation or accreditation centres; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 3.3. Improving foreign language learning WHY? It is an Education and training 2010 objective as well as a Spanish national priority to improve foreign language learning. This is specially important in a region like the Balearic Islands where tourism is one of the main economic activities and therefore foreign language knowledge is key. To meet this objective, the education department of the Balearic Islands is developing some foreign language pilot programmes which are mainly based on the CLIL approach as a way to increase the input in the foreign language. Taking into account that this is a bilingual community, with two official languages (Spanish and Catalan), the development of these programmes is quite a challenge that we need to share with other European regions to improve its implementation. WHAT? Participants will be able to: • get acquainted with the different ways of implementing the CLIL approach in the Balearic Islands; • visit different types of schools and increase their knowledge of the organisation of our educational system; • meet colleagues from both the administration and teaching profession to share experiences; • be familiar with bilingual and multicultural school environments and the role played by the different languages being used. HOW? • • • • By visiting schools of different types and levels; by visiting teacher in-service training institutions; by meeting administrators and trainers; by meeting headteachers, students and teachers at work. WHOM? • • • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; human resource managers; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities.

Améliorer lʼenseignement dans langues étrangères 3.4. Accroître la mobilité et les échanges POURQUOI? Lʼenseignement dʼune matière par intégration dʼune langue étrangère (EMILE) répond à plusieurs priorités: • Lʼinterculturalité sera célébrée tout au long de lʼannée 2008 à lʼinitiative de lʼUnion européenne. LʼEMILE est la voie privilégiée pour mettre en œuvre ce principe et former les publics scolaires à une véritable citoyenneté européenne. • Dans la lignée du Cadre européen de référence pour les langues, lʼapproche par les compétences apparaît aujourdʼhui comme la plus efficace. On peut considérer lʼEMILE comme la voie de lʼexcellence puisquʼil élargit le champ dʼusage dʼune langue étrangère à des domaines spécialisés. • Le principe de lʼEMILE sʼapplique à des disciplines théoriques ou techniques. Il favorise ainsi la mobilité et lʼouverture professionnelles. En tant quʼopérateur du ministère de lʼéducation nationale, le Centre international dʼétudes pédagogiques (CIEP) met son expertise au service de partenaires désireux de développer lʼEMILE. QUOI? Afin de saisir tous les enjeux de lʼEMILE, la semaine dʼétude portera sur: • la méthodologie de lʼEMILE, • les systèmes de formation, • lʼinsertion du dispositif dans le projet de lʼétablissement, • la gestion des ressources humaines, • les certifications, • lʼinscription du dispositif dans le système éducatif, • les partenariats avec lʼétranger, • les sites Emilangues et francparler.org, Au terme de la visite, les participants seront capables dʼutiliser cette expérience dans leur domaine de compétence. COMMENT? Les participants rencontreront tous les acteurs impliqués dans lʼEMILE: • personnel administratif et pédagogique des établissements scolaires, • inspecteurs pédagogiques et administratifs, • représentants du ministère, • gestionnaires de ressources spécialisées. Afin dʼoptimiser la formation, les visites seront ponctuées par: • une introduction au système éducatif national, • des moments de débat sur les visites, • un bilan de la semaine. POUR QUI?

Improving foreign language learning 3.4. Increasing mobility and exchange WHY? Content language integrated learning (CLIL) is heavily supported and promoted by the European Commission as one of the best methods to improve foreign language learning and multiplurilinguism. Most European countries have included this practice in schools; in Spain it is one of the main trends at the moment. The regional education administration in Asturias, conscious of the benefits of CLIL, is developing an innovative programme in primary and secondary schools that participants will have the opportunity to learn about. Our institution deals with the development and implementation of educational programmes, including the planning of in-service teacher training and the editing of support materials. We have also a wide experience as organiser of study visits on different themes, especially those focused on foreign language teaching and learning. WHAT? The objective of the study visit is to show participants the most innovative CLIL experiences that are being developed in the region. The focus will be on teaching foreign languages through content in bilingual classes and in schools with an integrated curriculum Spanish – English. Great attention will also be paid to the in-service training of teachers of non-linguistic subjects that are participating or will participate in the initiative in the near future. We will deal with the following issues: • the characteristics of the two different modalities of the Programme in the region; • the way it is being implemented in schools; • the special in-service teacher training plan; • the impact on increasing motivation and improving FL competence, etc. HOW? Participants will have the opportunity to: • visit schools of different levels (primary and secondary) with CLIL projects; • observe lessons of different subjects and discuss with teachers and students; • discuss regional strategy with the people responsible for the initiative in the regional education administration; • learn about the in-service training of participating teachers; • become acquainted with the resources used in the programme. There will also be workshops where participants can share their knowledge and experience on the theme. Additionally, there will be a cultural programme. WHOM?

The wellbeing of pupils is considered an important indicator for the quality of education, for their learning and their competence in lifelong learning. There is an annual call for pedagogical projects involving and promoting health through school curricula. This annual call permits the involvement of Asturiasʼ schools in the European network of health promoting school (ENHPS): in fact, there are 23 schools belonging to the ENHPS and some have been awarded by the Spanish Ministery of Education. The Centro de Profesorado y de Recursos de Nalón-Caudal (CPR Nalón –Caudal) is an in-service teacher training institution depending on Consejería de Educación y Ciencia of the Government of The Principality of Asturias, committed to raise standards in education developing our regional educative policy.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 3.5. Strengthening the European co-operation WHY? The project is coordinated at national level. We run in-service training and workshops for school coordinators of health education at all levels of the education system, including units for students with special needs.We increase the level of our professional skills and knowledge by participating in all kinds of workshops, training, etc. and cooperating with institutions and NGOs responsible for supporting health education and prevention. In contemporary research there are some necessary factors for success of the health programmes directed to children and adolescents. They consist of elements of emotional and social competence such as: consciousness of oneʼs feelings and ability to manage them, controlling inner impulses, empathy and the ability to take oneʼs point of view, cooperation and communication abilities. These “life skills” help children and adolescents to avoid the dangers of alcohol and drug addiction, violence, unwanted pregnancy, etc. We feel close to a concept of a person perceived as an individual, that is unique, constantly “self-developing” and having unlimited potential (though sometimes unconscious of it) and to an holistic approach which leads every participant to become aware of their combined multilevel nature and accept all their personal dimensions as equally important. WHAT? We hope the visit will enrich participantsʼ way of working by: • improving the skills of building and running workshops and seminars; • finding new ideas and concepts, which can be implemented in national educational circumstances; • finding sources of inspiration (what works or does not); • sharing experiences (successes and failures); • comparing views on educational problems and ways of resolving them; • establishing partnerships for future cooperation, such as for writing proposals for the European Commission on education and health. HOW? Participants will: • visit schools, education units and centres; • observe teachers and students in the classroom; • meet and talk to directors of education establishments, heads of schools, teachers and trainers, social partners, researchers, policy-makers, promoters of projects defined as best practice, etc; • see strong and weak points of a system/policy/project, success and failure factors; • hear various opinions on a system/policy/project. During the visit we will also present the aims and objectives of the network. We will visit schools which have been awarded a certificate, present authorʼs programmes implemented in those schools and examples of good practice. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of validation or accreditation centres; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of local, regional and national authorities.

L’esercitazione quotidiana verso la ricerca della diversità (culturale, generazionale, geografica, religiosa, ecc.) costituisce uno strumento efficace di reazione alle differenze, aiutando a viverle non come una minaccia, ma come potenziale sorgente di arricchimento per tutti, coltivando una predisposizione allo scambio e al confronto con l’insieme delle individualità e delle culture “altre”. L’approccio interdisciplinare ed il taglio europeo sono proprio le caratteristiche peculiari delle attività portate avanti dal Centro Regionale di Studio ed educazione al paesaggio.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 3.4. Increasing mobility and exchange WHY? We think schools are organisations which will shape our future, so they need to be well administered. Schools, beside being an agent in the service of education, are also huge organisations in which you can see all features of a typical organisation. In a school, there are thousands of people with a lot of administrative problems. An administrator needs many capabilities to manage the school and classes, relations with parents and teachers, and further schools need to be supervised by professional supervisors and inspectors. In this study visit, we would like to discuss how supervision activities can contribute better to school management. We think our colleagues from different countries can share their experiences. We also would like to organise a seminar on school management so we can help build new schools for the future with better administration processes. This seminar will be organised by experienced supervisors and university teachers in our city, working for state schools and the department of educational administration at Harran University. WHAT? Participants will learn both theoretically and practically about successful school management processes. Successful management includes: • hygiene at schools; • formal applications at schools; • management of school libraries, laboratories, gyms and knowledge technology laboratories; • management of conflict between teachers and staff; • management of school-family relations; • management of physical conditions (lighting, painting the wall, etc.); • organising the classroom. HOW? • Seminars, • round-table discussion groups, • visits to schools and other public organisations to see good examples of management in our city. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; owners/managers of SMEs; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

This vision highlights the planning and provision of dedicated leadership and management. Effective leadership and management may be acquired through distributed leadership which creates a capacity for healthy dialogue and debate that can foster a satisfying and fruitful team spirit. The involvement of head teachers and senior managers in schools is important for the development of educational networking, both in terms of priority and the profile network activity given in schools. WHAT? During the study visit, participants will have the opportunity to discuss: • initiatives and policies to improve effective leadership in the Maltese educational system; • methods and training given to present and potential educational leaders; • best practices in educational leadership from the various countries represented by the participants.

Open learning environment 2.2. Making learning more attractive WHY? The issue is important because the national aim is that 95% of a year group of young people in Denmark must complete youth education. This specific group of young adults has learning difficulties. VUC Odense is attended by a considerable number of young people belonging to ethnic minorities who, despite having finished their basic elementary schooling, do not master the academic qualifications required for entrance to institutions of further education or vocational training. It is of utmost importance that this group of young people receives education and/or training as this is a key to integration into Danish society and entering the Danish labour market, which is currently short of labour. The youth programme is a field of special attention. New and different teaching methods and approaches to learning are employed, such as individual counselling, achievements tests, differentiated teaching, and personal tutoring. WHAT? VUC Odense aims at contributing to intercultural understanding to improve teaching methodology in relation to this specific target group. Participants will be introduced to and invited to discuss the means and methods at VUC Odense related to the young adults project. Pariticipants will also get insight into the coopeation with other local/regional entities such as the guidance system and UU Odense. HOW? • • • • • By visiting schools; by observing students in the classroom; by talking to students and teachers; by meeting teachers and leading staff; by talks with cooperation partners such as UU Odense. WHOM? • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of guidance centres; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers. SHORT DESCRIPTION IN THE HOST COUNTRY’S LANGUAGE: VUC-FYN og Fyns HF Kursus gør en særlig indsat for unge-voksne. Unge som på en eller anden måde er kommet skævt i gang med deres ungdomsuddannelse. Denne gruppe bliver større og større i VUC. Vi har derfor organiseret denne gruppe af unge voksne ud fra forskellige differentierings metode for at sikre fastholdelse i uddannelsessystemet. En stor del af disse unge har en anden etnisk baggrund. Til trods for at de har været igennem folkeskolesystemet er der mange af dem som alligevel ikke er dygtige nok til at fortsætte på gymnasiet eller HF. De unge voksne kommer typisk på VUC hvor vi har lavet en særlig indsats for at bringe dem videre i uddannelsessystemet. Dette er en stor udfordring for vores medarbejdere som har været nødt til at ”gå nye veje” for at fastholde og undervise dem. Medarbejderne har også været nødt til erkende, at et vigtigt udgangspunkt for at nå ind til de unge mennesker af anden etnisk baggrund er en interkulturel tilnærmelse og forståelse.

Making the best use of resources 2.3. Supporting active citizenship, equal opportunities and social cohesion WHY? For the whole life of education the important thing is to give students the discipline to realise their responsibilities to manage their lives. Life means having a target every second. Since children are our future and the real owners of the world, we have to be sure they are preparing themselves to create a world worth living in. The main reason for most youth problems is a lack of responsibility among the young generation. They are afraid of taking responsibilities and solving problems. Their understanding of living is entertainment, enjoying themselves or living only for themselves and not for others. In this visit, the delegation will discuss the responsibilities of school, family, educational system and the social environment on pupilsʼ lives with the cultural differences of countries while preparing themselves for their future. WHAT? Our school is a science secondary school. Students gain access after an entrance examination, and their profile is different from other general secondary school students. In the same region we have different types of secondary schools. In this visit these student profiles will be considered from their family life, parentsʼ educational, economic and social environment, the number of siblings and their future plans. The data will be collected and the differences or similarities will be discussed with group members. At the end the role of governmental educational policies will be determined as a group report. HOW? • School visits; • meetings with: – students to find out the differences in the same educational environment and in different types of schools in the same geographic region; – parents to find out their influence; – meeting with provincial decision-makers. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; head teachers, teacher trainers; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

Supporting active citizenship, equal opportunities and social cohesion WHY? In recent years schools and colleges in many countries across Europe have developed a wider view of education so that attention is given to the overall context of a childʼs development as well as the academic input and outcomes. This study visit will be based in the United Kingdom because there are new expectations and policies linking many aspects of the childʼs upbringing. This agenda is known as ʻevery child mattersʼ, ECM for short. There are five strands: • be healthy; • stay safe; • enjoy and achieve; • make a positive contribution to society; • economic well-being. ECM has obliged local authorities to develop new structures, usefully illustrated by the evolution of posts of directors of education into directors of childrens services. In turn, this has affected the way in which schools operate. The host has organised study visits in 2006 and 2007. WHAT? Participants will: • understand the new ECM structures in the UK; • see examples of each strand as applied in schools; • discuss the new agenda and structures with experts; • leave with exemplary material which they can adapt for use in their own countries. HOW? During this study visit, participants will visit primary and secondary educational establishments in Lincolnshire and hear from practitioners involved in the delivery of the ECM agenda. The main focus will be on how every child matters is being developed to support the individual child. WHOM? Educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of local, regional and national authorities.

Open learning environment 2.2. Making learning more attractive WHY? In 2001, Scotland passed legislation which meant that all staff working with children in residential childcare had to be registered to work. In order to register, they needed qualifications. This presented a major problem, as the workforce was largely unqualified. The residential childcare sector in Scotland is a large employer and has had to respond in flexible and imaginative ways to allow workers to gain their qualifications. The Scottish Institute for Residential Childcare was set up to assist the sector in helping its staff to obtain qualifications. Many of the staff have low literacy skills and little formal qualification so vocational qualifications have played a large role in staff qualification. WHAT? Participants will learn: • about imaginative ways in which workers have been helped to achieve qualifications while still employed; • about the importance of work-based and vocational routes to qualification; • how policy-makers, educational institutions and organisations who provide residential childcare have worked together to enable staff to achieve registration. HOW? • By visiting further and higher education institutions to look at the range of educational opportunities provided for this group of staff; • by talking to staff and students / workers involved in undertaking and delivering the qualifications; • by visiting residential childcare centres to understand the nature of the work and talking to staff on site; • by visiting policy-makers such as the Scottish Social Services Council, and the Scottish Qualifications Authority to see how they contribute to the registration process; • by talking to young people who have been in care or who are in care to discuss the importance of how well their staff are trained. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of guidance centres; directors of validation or accreditation centres; educational and vocational training inspectors; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of employersʼ organisations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; representatives of trade unions.

Ensuring access to ICT for everyone 2.3. Supporting active citizenship, equal opportunities and social cohesion WHY? The autonomous province of Trento (PAT) in Italy is a provincial administration with a special self-governing statute, allowing the authority to legislate in most areas of local socio-economic life. For this reason it can boast experience in experimenting with new models of education and vocational training systems. The province of Trento has become a point of reference in Italy thanks to the quality and innovation of its policies. One priority of the province has been ageing workers and many actions have been carried out. The visit will present methods for training ageing workers to spread the experience and best practices especially those related to the European Social Fund (ESF). WHAT? Participants will learn about the experiences carried out on adult training in the province of Trento especially those financed by the ESF.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers WHY? • In recent years schools and colleges across Europe have made increasing use of selfevaluation as well as external inspection to identify strengths and weaknesses. This has allowed school leaders, teachers, students and parents to become increasingly proactive in developing strategies and action plans for addressing particular difficulties and raising standards in general. • This study visit will be based in the United Kingdom because the national system of inspection now requires schools to prepare a school self-evaluation form. This must be kept up to date in readiness for inspections which take place at very short notice. • The study visit will take place in Lincolnshire which has been using this approach for several years. • The host has organised similar study visits in 2006 and 2007. WHAT? The participants will: • understand the self-evaluation system being used in English schools; • review the crucial questions: How are we doing ? How do we know ? What do we do next? • leave with exemplary material which they can adapt for use in their own countries. HOW? During this study visit, participants will visit primary and secondary educational establishments in Lincolnshire and hear from practitioners who are using self-evaluation. The main focus will be on how self-evaluation is used to improve teaching and learning in the classroom. WHOM? • • • • Educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers.

Making the best use of resources 2.1. Open learning environment WHY? The Dutch national educational system has several striking features, including the combination of public and private schools. The overall quality of education, however, is the main responsibility of the national authorities. Quality assurance has been adapted to meet the needs of this combined system. WHAT? There are three main aspects of the Dutch educational quality system: • school self-evaluation; • results of schools presented with the so-called ʻquality cardʼ; • privatised external supervision (Inspectorate of education). HOW? The programme includes: • visits to the Ministry of Education, municipal authorities and the Inspectorate; • opportunity to learn about Dutch good practice in primary, secondary, and possibly vocational schools and institutes; • discussions with teachers and students; • if possible, classroom visits. WHOM? • • • • • • • • Educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

Making the best use of resources 3.5. Strengthening the European co-operation WHY? Quality and assessment management has during a decade been a major theme, both in Danish national educational policy and in our internal institutional strategy. EUC Nordvestsjaelland (vocational college) consequently determined to allocate the necessary resources for this purpose seven years ago and has regularly evaluated the school quality ever since. Teachers and staff perform self-assessment; a quality report is issued and evaluated by teachers, students, staff and employees. Strategies and policies will be decided and changed and relevant documentation done, thus ʻclosing the circleʼ for another self- assessment at a later stage. We think that the quality assessment is a good point of departure for discussions and mutual exchange of procedures with international colleagues, thus defining the common problem fields within vocational training. WHAT? Participants will: • understand the methods and tools used in quality assessment in Denmark; • be able to define strengths and weaknesses in vocational training and education in general in Denmark and compare with own systems; • be able to put experienced procedures into perspective. HOW? • By visiting various departments of EUC Nordvestsjaelland and meeting both students, teachers and administrative staff, involved in quality assessment; • by visiting two enterprises that employed our students and cooperate with the vocational college concerning apprentice training; • by meeting representatives from the social partners in Denmark. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of validation or accreditation centres; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; human resource managers; representatives of chambers of commerce/ industry/crafts; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of employersʼ organisations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; representatives of trade unions; researchers.

Ved besøg på nogle af skolens afdelinger og samtaler/diskussion med lærere, elever og administrativt personale vil der være mulighed for at udveksle synspunkter og sammenligne danske forhold med egen praksis i hjemlandet. Derigennem defineres specifikke fælles problemfelter, som evt. kan tilføres nye synspunkter, og der kan opstilles løsningsmodeller herfor.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 3.5. Strengthening the European co-operation WHY? • Various factors influence the teaching and education process in schools. Most important is the teacherʼs personality: his abilities, his qualifications, his concept of education and also how he conceives himself. • In vocational schools the challenges of teachers increase (e.g. students with special needs, weaker students, requirements of the labour market), so professionalising standards for teachers in vocational schools is important. • The Ministry of Education in Stuttgart has developed, tested and established different programmes. WHAT? Number of places: 15 Minimum required: 10 • During the study visit different aspects of the teaching profession and its various roles will be discussed mainly pertaining to the questions: How do you act professionally (as a teacher) in vocational education today? What organisational and structural conditions are needed to do so? • The aim is to ensure long-term effectiveness of education by professionalising standards for teachers in vocational schools. HOW? • The study group members will have the chance to theoretically and practically take a closer look at tested models and standards of vocational training and education in BadenWürttemberg. • They will be able to visit different teacher training colleges, vocational schools and their partners from different branches of trade and industry, thus gaining the opportunity to find out about and scrutinise new didactic concepts and approaches. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

Making the best use of resources 3.1. Strengthening the links with working life and research and society at large WHY? It is our aim to contribute to the improvement of the quality and effectiveness of EU education and training systems (one of the Education and Training 2010 objectives). Our school (ESCM) and city council (Maia) are among the first in Portugal to try and organise an assessment programme centred on the idea of networking and benchmarking with meaningful partners, to improve collectively. We also believe that the current trend of overall reform in the Portuguese educational realm is crucial in understanding the social constraints and dynamics involved in a process generally perceived as too demanding and challenging. We think that the working experience of such an important aspect of a schoolʼs action (as we perceive it) may be interesting to other schools or bodies aiming to be increasingly (or at all) involved in it – that is the reason why the approach we chose is mainly practical and critical and focuses on the strengths and shortcomings of the whole implementation process. Alice: “Do you know which way I should take?” Cheshire cat “That depends a good deal on where you want to get.” WHAT? • Participants will gain working knowledge from the actual experience of implementing a theoretically and empirically sound, quality-oriented 360º school assessment framework within the context of Maia Educational Council (Northwest Portugal), network with reference (central to the context) to the shortcomings and strengths perceived by the steering group in each stage of the process HOW? • Visits to (at least) one of the schools in each cycle of studies (pre-school, primary, secondary); • presentations of the fieldwork developed in each institution (perceived strengths and weaknesses); • visits to our partners and presentations of the PRISMA structuring process – consensuses and controversies (invited speakers from the Catholic University of Oporto, the Maia Educational Council, the National Institute of Public Administration, the Ministry of Education, and the schools themselves); • informal talks with teachers, students, parents, non-teaching staff, social, cultural and economic forces; • analysis and critical appraisal of the process journal kept along the months (debates and workshops – “how would you deal with this issue in your school?” approach).

The aim of the visit is to introduce participants to monitoring the quality of education in Flanders. WHAT? Quality control and quality improvement in Flemish education is based on attainment targets, the inspectorate and educational supervision. Attainment targets in primary and secondary education are minimum objectives that the majority of pupils should aim for and achieve at a particular educational level and in a particular discipline. This concerns qualities with regard to knowledge, insight, attitudes and skills. By means of a school or a centre audit, the inspectorate examines whether the attainment targets or developmental objectives are being achieved, and whether the other organic obligations are being properly observed. Every education network has its own educational advisors. At the request of the schools, they are responsible for educational and methodological advisory services. HOW? This theme is clarified during visits to the Department of Education and Training, schools and organisations, and through discussions with civil servants, experts, heads of institutions, teachers and trainers. WHOM? • • • • • • • Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities. SHORT DESCRIPTION IN THE HOST COUNTRY’S LANGUAGE: Kwaliteitsbewaking en –bevordering in het Vlaamse onderwijs steunt op 3 pijlers: de eindtermen, de inspectie en de pedagogische begeleiding. “Eindtermen” vormen een belangrijk element in een gebalanceerd beleid van kwaliteitscontrole door de overheid. Het zijn minimumdoelen op het vlak van kennis, inzicht, vaardigheden en attitudes die de overheid noodzakelijk en bereikbaar acht voor een bepaalde leerlingen-/cursistenpopulatie. De overheidsinspectie controleert tijdens regelmatige doorlichtingen of dit inderdaad gebeurt. Elk onderwijsnet beschikt over eigen pedagogische begeleiders, die op vraag van de scholen instaan voor pedagogische en methodologische begeleiding. Via bezoeken aan het Departement Onderwijs en scholen, gesprekken met ambtenaren, de inspectie, begeleiders, experts, schoolhoofden en leerkrachten wordt een inzicht gegeven in deze thematiek.

Strengthening the links with working life and research and society at large 3.2. Developing the spirit of enterprise WHY? The socio-economic and geographical environment of rural and mountain regions is a driving force in the expansion and development of the wood sector. Acting on the basis of sustainable development, we are currently running an innovative partnership with companies in the design of ʻtraditional chaletsʼ to be built on the shores of the Serre-Ponçon Lake to develop the regionʼs appeal to tourism. Our experience and expertise in the woodworking sector and our designation as a ʻtrade schoolʼ have led us quite naturally to become involved in projects of this sort. Over the years, the ʻAlpes et Duranceʼ vocational training school has built up extensive links in the region with a number of different companies in the wood sector and is constantly launching training/enterprise partnership projects. The departmental headquarters of the Local School/Enterprise Liaison Committee is located in the school (liaison with professional sectors / building federations / employersʼ association). WHAT? • The increased use of wood in building is directly linked to sustainable development. • Development and diversification of the wood sector: familiarisation, integration of new technologies, the digital revolution in craft and industrial enterprises. • The ʻAlpes et Duranceʼ school, located in a rural, mountainous region, brings together a large number of firms in the wood sector. It is necessary to open the school to a wider debate on the future of training and the various trades. Our school trains 150 young people in woodworking trades at all levels (level V to III). • Traditions and the culture of the countryside the and mountains need to be respected, while at the same time taking account of economic developments and innovation. • The expansion and shared interest in the development of this sector (wood-energy, 1st transformation, 2nd transformation, renewable energy, sustainable development) is an aspect which countries in Europe must take into account. • Consideration must be given to the types of training and to the diplomas awarded. HOW? • Visits to institutions and enterprises offering training in the wood sector. • Meetings between the socio-economic partners of the project to build eco-friendly chalets around the Serre-Ponçon Lake. • Involvement of our school/regional partners: the ʻschool for entrepreneursʼ action to develop entrepreneurship in young people. • Guiding young people in Europe into this sector: motivation, types of guidance, received ideas on vocational training, involvement of parents, attractiveness and quality of training courses, routes to success, testimonies, career progression, training. • Type of training to be developed? Originality of dual qualification as a solution: linking training in the wood sector, seasonal factors, and the need to be competent in two trades: multi-tasking (example: carpenter in summer and ski instructor in winter: 50 students from the school). • New technologies and sustainable development are linked to the development of the wood sector (training, attachments, certification, evaluation). WHOM? Company training managers; directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of guidance centres; educational and vocational training inspectors; owners/managers of SMEs; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; researchers.

Making learning more attractive 3.1. Strengthening the links with working life and research and society at large WHY? Apart from other industries, tourism is service intensive and requires a considerable amount of people, which in return helps to reduce unemployment. To gain a competitive advantage for hospitality and tourism organisations, an educated and well trained workforce is needed. Vocational education and training given by schools contributes to secure the needs of the private and public sectors. The aim of the study visit is to highlight the actions taken to improve the attractiveness of VET. 18-22 year olds are educated and trained in Selcuk University, post secondary vocational school of Silifke – Tasucu, in eight different majors since 1992. In addition, since 2004, four different LdV mobility placement projects have been implemented successfully and one of its academic staff has already attended two Cedefop study visits. The experience gained encouraged us to host such a study visit here in Tasucu. WHAT? The visit will focus on: • cooperation between the school system and working life; • national, regional and local initiatives to raise the attractiveness of VET. Participants will learn about: • the structure of the Turkish education and training system; • the role VET plays in tourism and hospitality industries; • activities and cooperation between VET institutions, SMEs and social partners. HOW? Visits to: • firms providing training; • vocational training schools; • chambers of trade and industry; • a regional vocational training centre. Participants will: • meet with parties involved in consortium heads and training managers; • meet teachers and students at their workplace; • meet representatives of enterprises and those benefiting from training; • talk to different stakeholders such as municipalities, policy-makers and providers; • look at good practices.

Increasing recruitment to scientific and technical studies 3.1. Strengthening the links with working life and research and society at large WHY? Too many young people drop out of initial education and training before they have qualified in a chosen profession. One main reason is they have no concrete idea of the chosen profession. Many never work in their original profession and here is a shortage of skilled workers and technical staff. This kind of education is being lost. Initial vocational education and training, continuing VET and universities cater for the needs of the private and public sectors for a skilled workforce. The needs were identified and specified with employers (the Economic Chamber), employment offices, regional authorities and heads of VET schools. There is a shortage of technical staff and craftsmen (tooler, bricklayer, electrician, cabinet-maker, upholsterer). VET schools are often not full and pupils at basic schools are not interested in these professions. WHAT? The core objective is to learn about cooperation among schools for pupils aged 6-15, two of three types of secondary schools (secondary technical schools and secondary vocational schools) and working life in the Czech Republic. Participants will hear about the social partners role in developing vocational education for all young people and will discuss how to support the effort to attract more students to VET. We are going to compare the problem in different countries and look for examples of good practice. Participants will be asked to play an active role in some seminars and workshops with Czech career officers. HOW? • • • • • • Meeting and talking to VET specialists at secondary schools; visiting schools for pupils aged 6-15 and meeting educational advisers of secondary schools; seminar with the job centre specialist; meeting with experts that help students with their first job; visiting local companies, factories, a power station and to an open-cast mine; participation in the secondary school exhibition – VET FAIR.

Ze zkušeností těchto institucí a z analytických dat můžeme jednoznačně konstatovat, že na trhu práce chybí odborní techničtí (řemeslní) pracovníci (strojaři, obráběči, zedníci, elektrikáři, truhláři, čalouníci,….). Se stejným problémem se potýkají také krajské rady pro rozvoj lidských zdrojů a je to aktuálním tématem jejich práce nejen na krajské, ale také na celorepublikové úrovni. Tyto pracovníky poptávají a aktivně po středních školách požadují firmy a podniky. Školy ovšem těmto požadavkům nemohou vycházet vstříc, protože se jim nedaří naplňovat požadované technické (řemeslné) obory. Žáci ZŠ se na tyto obory nehlásí. Ve společnosti jsou tyto obory „nepopulární“. Žáci ZŠ mají mnohdy špatné a nereálné představy o svém budoucím povolání a pracovním uplatnění. Podceňují řemeslné obory a přeceňují nespecifické obory (manažer, podnikatel,…). Je to jednak z důvodu nedostatku informací o podobě pracovního uplatnění po absolvování SOU, charakteru práce, mzdových možnostech atd. Cílem studijní návštěvy je představit způsoby prezentace a popularizace zmíněných oborů v našem regionu a v celé ČR. Porovnat tuto problematiku v různých zemích, získat vzájemnou představu o možných způsobech řešení. Získat i konkrétní návody a řešení. Příklady úspěšné praxe. Studijní návštěva je záměrně organizována v uvedeném termínu. Je to doba, kdy je pořádáno nejvíce akcí, kde se jednotlivé školy představují.

Making learning more attractive 3.1. Strengthening the links with working life and research and society at large WHY? One key area of the Portuguese educational policy is to make secondary education the minimum qualification for all (12 years of schooling). The strategies to achieve this goal are the diversification of qualifying vocational training opportunities and the increase of the number of places on vocational courses within the public and private network. The Northern Authority for the Education represents one third of the school population in the country but the region faces lack of qualified workforce to respond to the demands of industrial and commercial associations as well as of small and medium enterprises located in the north. WHAT? Participants will: • perceive the strong link between vocational secondary education and the professional world; • understand the relation of the profile of the student with the focus of the training process on the development of skills; • recognise the importance of networking and cooperation with the local business community; • compare the private vocational schools with the vocational courses in state schools (both vocational and secondary schools). HOW? • By visiting vocational schools (both private and state schools) and secondary schools; • by observing school activities; • by meeting and interacting with the school director, the management staff, teachers, trainers and students; • by participating in workshops or seminars. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of local, regional and national authorities.

Favoriser la citoyenneté active, lʼégalité des chances et la cohésion sociale POURQUOI? La formation tout au long de la vie est une priorité européenne forte qui nécessite la mise en place dʼoutils susceptibles de donner aux citoyens lʼenvie et les moyens de choisir leur orientation, organiser leur parcours de formation, évoluer, voire changer leur métier, entreprendre des démarches de mobilité. Or, le cloisonnement entre le système sʼoccupant des jeunes scolaires et celui sʼoccupant des adultes nuit à lʼémergence et à la réalisation de projets personnels. La complexité de guichets organisés par type de public ne favorise pas lʼanticipation. Le concept de Cité des métiers a été créé par la Cité des sciences et de lʼindustrie voici 14 ans comme outil dʼaccompagnement et dʼanticipation des mutations technologiques. Depuis lors, diverses institutions (régions, villes, chambres consulaires, etc.) se sont emparé du concept pour créer des cités des métiers dans différents contextes territoriaux. Les 25 Cités des métiers existant à ce jour (dont 20 en Europe) constituent des structures intégrées qui améliorent la lisibilité et lʼappropriation des dispositifs liés à lʼaccès dʼemploi au diplôme ou à la formation. Elles permettent de mieux faire le lien entre objectifs dʼinsertion, de mobilité et développement de compétences. Cʼest pourquoi il paraît intéressant pour des décideurs soucieux de renforcer la cohésion territoriale comme pour des professionnels de découvrir dʼautres modes de fonctionnement en visitant la Cité des métiers de La Villette qui a servi de modèle aux différentes déclinaisons territoriales du label, en découvrant dʼautres structures intégrées, en rencontrant les principaux acteurs institutionnels et les professionnels du champ de la formation et de lʼorientation ainsi que des publics bénéficiaires. QUOI? • Découvrir et comprendre lʼintérêt de lieux intégrés dʼorientation et dʼévolution professionnelle à tout âge et pour tout public pour anticiper et accompagner les mutations; • analyser leur mode dʼorganisation, leurs offres et leurs publics; • pouvoir les comparer avec dʼautres dispositifs dʼaccueil, information et orientation plus segmentés. COMMENT? • En visitant deux Cités des métiers, en observant et en comparant leur fonctionnement et en rencontrant des utilisateurs; • en analysant les points forts et points faibles et en échangeant avec les dirigeants et les équipes de conseillers professionnels; • en situant ces Cités dans le contexte de la formation tout au long de la vie, dans leur relation à lʼemploi et à la création/reprise dʼactivités grâce à des tables rondes et rencontres avec les acteurs; • en échangeant avec les responsables des dispositifs concernés sur la pertinence de ces lieux intégrés comparativement aux systèmes fragmentés habituels ou à des guichets uniques traditionnels.

Ce paysage reflète le modèle de formation professionnelle français marqué par une multiplicité dʼacteurs, de catégories de public (et donc dʼapproches), de modes de financement, etc. Aujourdʼhui, les différentes composantes de ce système dʼorientation et de conseil doivent sʼadapter et, comme pour la formation et lʼéducation, se décliner tout au long de la vie. En outre, lʼindividualisation des parcours de formation et le besoin accru de mobilité professionnelle concourent à créer de nouvelles attentes en matière de conseil et dʼorientation. QUOI? Cette visite dʼétude permettra aux participants: • de découvrir les différentes composantes du système français dʼorientation, dʼinformation et de conseil sur la formation professionnelle continue; • de se familiariser avec les moyens et méthodes utilisés en France en matière de prévision, de prospective sur les métiers et les qualifications; • de montrer les pratiques innovantes en matière de conseil et dʼorientation des individus; • de réfléchir aux enjeux de la réforme de la formation professionnelle au regard du conseil et de lʼorientation. COMMENT? • En discutant avec des conseillers et des représentants de pouvoirs publics; • en visitant des organismes spécialisés en matière de prévision et de prospective sur les métiers et sur les qualifications; • en présentant différents outils répondant aux nouvelles attentes en matière de conseil et dʼorientation. La visite dʼétude permettra à chaque participant de se présenter en fonction du thème de la visite dʼétude et alternera les visites sur site et les interventions dʼexperts ou de praticiens. POUR QUI?

Bestmögliche Nutzung der Ressourcen 2.2. Lernen muss attraktiver werden WARUM? Bildungs- und Berufsberatung werden als Schlüsselelemente von Strategien für lebenslanges Lernen und für die Erreichung der Lissabon-Ziele verstanden. Sie sind somit zu einem zentralen Aspekt bei der Politikkonzeption geworden. In Österreich wurden entsprechende Strategien und Konzepte entwickelt, um Bildungs- und Berufsberatung zu optimieren. Ein gutes Beispiel für eine gelungene Konzeptumsetzung ist die Studien- und Berufsinformationsmesse (BeST), bei der jährlich tausende Jugendliche gezielt und umfassend beraten werden. Ziel der Messe – die im Herbst 2008 in Innsbruck stattfindet – ist es, AbsolventInnen, Studierende, MaturantInnen, Lehrlinge, SchülerInnen und jene, die in neue Berufsfelder wechseln wollen, aus erster Hand über Berufschancen, Jobmöglichkeiten, Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildungsangebote und die verschiedenen Aussichten in den einzelnen Berufsfeldern zu informieren. WAS? Folgende Themen werden aufgezeigt und diskutiert: • das österreichische Berufsbildungssystem; • Strategien und Konzepte der Bildungs- und Berufsberatung in Österreich und Europa; • Angebote im Bereich der Bildungs- und Berufsberatung für verschiedene Zielgruppen; • Vorstellung von innovativen Bildungs- und Berufsberatungsangeboten; • Programme zur Bewertung von erworbenen Kompetenzen zur Berufslaufbahnplanung. WIE? • Vorstellung von berufsbildenden Schulen – Gespräche mit LehrerInnen und SchülerInnen; • Präsentationen und Diskussionen mit BildungsberaterInnen, BerufsbildungsexpertInnen, Sozialpartnern und Unternehmern; • Besuch der Studien- und Berufsinformationsmesse (BeST); • Vorstellung europäischer Projekte im Bereich der Bildungs- und Berufsberatung; • Kontakt zu Euroguidance Österreich.

Lʼaccompagnement devient de plus en plus important: plus on individualise les parcours, plus les individus ont besoin dʼun soutien dépassant la segmentation traditionnelle par public visé des organismes de conseil (scolaires, étudiants, salariés, chômeurs, etc.). Le Service universitaire de développement économique et social (SUDES) est un des acteurs clés dans ce domaine en France depuis de nombreuses années. Son travail institutionnel a été amplifié au cours des dernières années par une coopération interinstitutionnelle dans la Région Nord - Pas-de-Calais.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 1.2. Developing skills for the knowledge society WHY? The Lisbon European Council of 2000 set the core goal of making Europe the most competitive knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010, while strengthening social cohesion, and accorded education and training a central role in reaching this aim. Ensuring the acquisition of key competences by all citizens remains a challenge for all Member States, to promote social cohesion, meet the needs of the rapidly changing labour market and improve personal development. Guidance and counselling services offered to all learners by the national education and training systems should improve the systemsʼ efficiency. Learners in all levels should be provided with the necessary information and guidance in order to acquire the key competences, be able to make the necessary choices during their study period and facilitate their integration in the labour market afterwards. WHAT? The study visit aims at bringing together participants from different European countries to exchange information and opinions about: • the efficiency of the guidance and counselling services offered by the education and training systems across Europe; • the role of teachers, trainers and counsellors in supporting learners to acquire the key competences and make the necessary choices in their academic and professional orientation; • the active involvement of students, parents, local authorities and social partners in this procedure. Participantsʼ comments and proposals could contribute to efforts for future improvement of such services and systems. HOW? The study visit will include: • visits to schools, centres of counselling and vocational orientation (KESYP) and other educational authorities; • meetings with teachers and trainers, students, counsellors and advisers; • presentation of the guidance and counselling services offered by the Greek educational and training system; • presentation of software and databases created to provide information and facilitate career guidance and vocational orientation of learners. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of guidance centres; educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres; representatives of local, regional and national authorities; researchers.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 1.5. Making the best use of resources WHY? There is a strong need for special education in rural tourism at university level. During the past 20 years rural tourism has become an important part of the tourism industry in Europe. This sector requires well educated staff in management, training and advising. Due to its specific character, education in rural tourism embraces different disciplines from psychology, through management to agriculture and forestry. In 1996 Agricultural University of Poznan created “rural tourism”, the first course in Poland. Demand for learning in this field is still very strong. After 12 years of fine tuning the university introduced a new course based on the former. Our school has now the most advanced learning programme in Poland which is a model for other schools. It is the main reason to invite lecturers from other universities who want to implement similar courses. WHAT? First, the study visit will be a forum for presenting and exchanging course programmes. Second, those participants who plan to introduce courses on rural tourism will get a tested programme and innovative ideas for an interdisciplinary approach.Third, it will be an opportunity to start creating agreed common subjects of rural tourism courses which are necessary to exchange students and other educational projects. HOW? • • • • • Workshops – presentation of the course programmes, exchange of ideas. Visiting educational institutions and other organisations cooperating with university. Meeting persons from rural tourism industry (incl. graduates of agricultural university). Discussion on competence tests and teaching methods. Study tours to forest educational centre, ecological centre, landscape agricultural park and different types of rural tourism accommodation and recreational units.

SHORT DESCRIPTION IN THE HOST COUNTRY’S LANGUAGE: Organiser(s): MAJEWSKI Janusz Agricultural University, Rural Tourism Unit Wolynska 45 60-637 Poznan Tel. +48- 601 807993 Email: janusz.majewski@au.poznan.pl Turystyka wiejska zyskała w ostatnich latach na znaczeniu. To już nie jest mała nisza rynkowa, ale poważny sektor gospodarki. Z racji swojej specyfiki, turystyka wiejska wymaga specjalistycznego kształcenia, łączącego aspekty psychologiczne, ekonomiczne i rolnicze. Dlatego kształceniem na poziomie uniwersyteckim zajmują się uczelnie rolnicze. W Polsce pierwszy program kompleksowego kształcenia dla turystyki wprowadzała w 1996 roku Akademia Rolnicza w Poznaniu. Dopiero kilka lat później poszły w jej ślady inne szkoły rolnicze, jednak w bardziej ograniczonym zakresie, jeśli chodzi o przedmioty turystyczne. Po kilku modyfikacjach w roku 2007 wprowadzono na AR w Poznaniu nowy, dostosowany do zmienionych warunków, program nauczania. Wizyta studyjna potrwa 5 dni, z których część poświęcona będzie na prezentacje pomysłów i programów oraz spotkania z wykładowcami, a część na wizyty w terenie. Uczestnicy będą mieli okazję nie tylko poznać polski system kształcenia dla turystyki wiejskiej, ale także przekonać w praktyce, jakim celom on służy. Oferta projektu jest skierowana przede wszystkim do nauczycieli akademickich zajmujących się turystyką wiejską, ale także dla zarządzających edukacją nie tylko uniwersytecką. Istnieje bowiem potrzeba koordynowania wykształcenia na różnych poziomach i w różnych instytucjach. Ponadto to te instytucje poszukują trenerów kształconych w szkołach wyższych, powinny mieć zatem wpływ na to kształcenie.

Améliorer lʼéducation et la formation des enseignants et des formateurs 3.4. Accroître la mobilité et les échanges POURQUOI? Le principe de la reconnaissance de lʼexpérience formelle, informelle et non formelle est reconnu comme une des priorités de lʼUnion européenne. Une meilleure gestion des ressources humaines et des dépenses liées à le formation professionnelle, une mobilité à développer et le gestion des nouveaux migrants peuvent être améliorés par une meilleure reconnaissance des compétences déjà acquises par les individus à tout âge et dans toutes les conditions. Cette problématique a été abordée en France via la reconnaissance du diplôme et la loi de 2002 créant la Validation des acquis de lʼexpérience (VAE). Lille, carrefour européen, est la capitale dʼune région en mutation économique qui doit faire face à une population à faible niveau de qualification et en reconversion. Lʼutilisation de la VAE comme outil de revalorisation des individus pour eux-mêmes et dans leur parcours professionnel a donné lieu à de nombreuses actions innovantes (exemple de la mise en place dʼun programme de VAE collective pour lʼentreprise Leroy-Merlin). La direction régionale Jeunesse et Sports de Lille gère environ 400 dossiers de VAE par an de demande de diplômes et expérimente la technique de lʼentretien dʼexplicitation dans lʼaccompagnement de ces demandeurs. Ayant déjà participé à une visite dʼétude en Suède, lʼattente des participants pour des exemples de méthodes utilisées pour reconnaître lʼexpérience, mʼa donné envie de faire partager notre expérience dans le domaine des activités sportives et socio-culturelles. QUOI? • Échanger sur les méthodes et outils dʼévaluation des compétences acquises tout au long de la vie à travers lʼexemple de la validation des acquis de lʼexpérience sur les diplômes du ministère de la jeunesse et des sports; • observer le travail des accompagnateurs qui aident les personnes à décrire leur expérience; • comprendre lʼintérêt de lʼutilisation de lʼentretien dʼexplicitation comme outil dʼanalyse de lʼexpérience; • échanger sur les intérêts de valider les compétences déjà acquises lors dʼune expérience professionnelle ou bénévole à travers une table ronde des acteurs régionaux (Conseil régional, représentants de lʼÉtat, des syndicats employeurs et salariés, des entreprises); • échanger autour de la problématique particulière de la reconnaissance des compétences des bénévoles notamment sportifs (exemple du golf et de lʼéquitation). COMMENT? Témoignage de candidats ayant constitué un dossier de Validation des acquis de lʼexpérience; témoignage dʼaccompagnateurs ayant aidé différents candidats dans lʼexplicitation de leur expérience; visionnage dʼun film commenté sur un «entretien dʼexplicitation»; rencontre dans une structure dʼorientation avec des psychologues spécialistes des bilans de compétences; intervention dʼun spécialiste de la construction des compétences sur la base dʼun travail dʼanalyse de pratiques réalisé avec le CNAM (Centre national des arts et métiers) sur les points forts et les points faibles de la mise par écrit de son expérience et les difficultés dʼévaluation pour le jury; visite dʼun organisme de formation professionnel et rencontre avec un formateur/accompagnateur dans les métiers de lʼanimation. Démonstration du «positionnement» dʼun candidat à une formation par rapport à ses compétences déjà acquises; table ronde autour des politiques régionales liées à la validation des acquis et la problématique de lʼemploi; témoignages de bénévoles et de férérations sportives.

Опитът ни в страните от ЕС показва, че стремежът на фирмите да бъдат конкурентни на общия пазар променя значително “алгоритъма” за предоставяне на знания /на служителите/ и информация, достъпна за потребителите на нови изделия. В частност, в областта на фотоволтаиката, развитието на технологиите мотивира ангажираните производители на алтернативна енергия да търсят неформални начини за развитие на компетенциите на служителите си, за да си осигурят присъствие на пазара, преди да са налични разработени и одобрени на държавно ниво програми за обучение на кадри.

Favoriser la citoyenneté active, lʼégalité des chances et la cohésion sociale 3.4. Accroître la mobilité et les échanges POURQUOI? La plupart des pays européens mettent en place des dispositifs de reconnaissance des acquis de lʼexpérience. La France a créé très tôt un ensemble de lois et de règlements qui lʼont rendue possible. Lʼenseignement supérieur, bénéficiant dʼun dispositif de formation continue bien développé, a été lʼun des acteurs importants de son développement, avec plus de 16 000 validations en 2006. Le fonctionnement en réseau de ses acteurs a permis de construire un dispositif assez homogène sur le territoire, indépendamment de lʼautonomie de chaque établissement. Plusieurs sites particulièrement actifs et moteurs dans le développement de lʼactivité sont volontaires. Nous avons une expérience des rencontres internationales, en particulier au sein du réseau européen EUCEN (European Universities Continuing Education Network) et sommes convaincus de leur intérêt. Ces rencontres nous ont montré que le système français reste orignal et souvent incompris. QUOI? • Familiarisation avec les dispositifs réglementaires français concernant la formation continue et la reconnaissance des acquis avec une attention particulière au niveau de lʼenseignement supérieur; • rencontres et discussions avec des opérateurs, des candidats, des responsables syndicaux et institutionnels permettront une analyse critique des choix français en comparaison avec leur propre système national et avec les orientations européennes. COMMENT? • • • • Séminaires par des experts nationaux, visite de trois centres de validation, visite de centres dʼinformation et dʼorientation, rencontres et discussions avec les personnels des centres et des responsables universitaires, • rencontres avec des candidats, des organisations des partenaires sociaux salariés et employeurs, responsables de ressources humaines… POUR QUI? • Directeurs d΄institutions, de centres ou de prestataires d΄enseignement et de formation professionnels; • directeurs de centres de validation; • représentants de réseaux et d΄associations d΄enseignement et de formation; • représentants des autorités locales, régionales et nationales.

Increasing mobility and exchange 3.5. Strengthening the European co-operation WHY? Vocational education and training for physical education and sports in Finland has been developed in close cooperation with working life and social partners. The competence-based qualifications system came into force in 1995 and competence tests have been arranged since. The competence-based learning system provides a possibility for adults to demonstrate their competences regardless of where they have been acquired. A special challenge is to recognise formal, non-formal and informal learning. For adults the whole process needs to be individualised and planned according to the work situation and work experience. WHAT? Number of places: 15 Minimum required: 10 This study visit will offer an overview of the VET system in sports, leisure and physical education. Sport Institute of Finland organises all existing qualifications and has been an active developer in national steering groups. Vocational programmes cover five different programmes and five sports-related programmes mainly for adults but also for young persons (physical education assistant education). Competence-based qualifications for adults include further vocational qualifications or specialist vocational qualifications for coaches, sport maintenance workers and managers, masseurs, sport managers, animators and instructors working in childrenʼs sport or adults´ physical education. Physical education has also been tailored for competitive athletes making it possible to combine a sports career with studies. HOW? Participants will have the possibility to attend competence tests for adults. They can also visit work places and follow discussions with teachers, students and employers. The Finnish training system offers an open pathway for adults to study Bachelor and Master programmes in sports and leisure. Some examples will be presented to demonstrate the possibility and methods of recognising prior learning. The study visit will be organised at Vierumäki campus which offers all these educational programmes and excellent sport facilities. WHOM? Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of validation or accreditation centres; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; owners/managers of SMEs; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of education and training networks and associations.

Créer un environnement propice à lʼapprentissage 3.1. Renforcer les liens avec le monde du travail, la recherche et la société dans son ensemble POURQUOI? Les pratiques de validation des acquis professionnels ont été mises en œuvre en France dès 1985. Après 17 ans dʼexpérience, la loi dite de «modernisation sociale», du 17 janvier 2002 avait pour objectif de développer cette pratique et dʼévoluer vers un dispositif achevé de validation des acquis de lʼexpérience (VAE), approfondissant les démarches précédentes. Près de six ans après son lancement, le paysage dans lequel sʼinscrit ce dispositif a fortement changé avec: • une nouvelle réforme de la formation professionnelle par la loi du 4 mai 2004 («relative à la formation professionnelle tout au long de la vie et au dialogue social») introduisant le «Droit Individuel à la Formation»; • une révision de la politique des titres, diplômes et certificats en liaison avec le processus de Bologne; • lʼachèvement du processus de transfert vers les régions de la politique de formation professionnelle. La VAE constitue un des axes principaux de développement de la qualification professionnelle en France : en 2003, 10 000 personnes ont pu, grâce à ce dispositif, faire reconnaître les compétences acquises au cours de leur parcours professionnel. Les diplômés de la VAE étaient 20 452 en 2005. Les points suivants suscitent plus particulièrement des réflexions aujourdʼhui: • lʼaccès au dispositif de validation des acquis de lʼexpérience pour les individus; • la certification et la refonte des parcours diplômants et de qualification; • la place de la VAE dans la formation tout au long de la vie. QUOI? Cette visite dʼétude a pour objectif de présenter les principales pratiques, expériences et structures mises en œuvre en matière de reconnaissance et de validation des acquis de lʼexpérience en France: • identifier les principaux systèmes de reconnaissance et de validation des acquis en fonction des certificateurs; • rencontrer et identifier les principaux acteurs de ce dispositif (État, Régions, partenaires sociaux, entreprises, organismes de formation, système scolaire et universitaire…) et ses différents bénéficiaires (travailleurs, demandeurs dʼemploi); • découvrir quelques expériences-clés et des réponses mises en œuvre dans ce nouveau cadre. COMMENT? Ces objectifs seront poursuivis en: • faisant découvrir les différents modes de validation: système dʼhomologation nationale des titres, reconnaissance dans les branches, dispositif VAE; • faisant mesurer lʼapport des approches innovantes: utilisation des technologies de lʼinformation et de la communication (TIC), prise en compte de lʼégalité des chances entre les femmes et les hommes. La visite dʼétude permettra à chaque participant de se présenter en fonction du thème de la visite dʼétude et alternera les visites sur site et les interventions dʼexperts ou de praticiens. POUR QUI?

Increasing mobility and exchange 3.5. Strengthening the European co-operation WHY? We want to undertake practical actions to reduce the educational lag of young Polish economic migrants (in Great Britain alone this problem regards 400 000 persons of student age).These are young people who stopped or have never taken up studying because of difficulties with adapting to new conditions, financial or language barriers. We want to support practical actions directed at abandoning marginalisation of this group and supporting their socio-cultural integration in a foreign country by education of migrants offered by our centre in co-operation with a chosen foreign university or higher vocational school. According to our concept such education could cover taking up higher education in assistance jobs in health service and social aid system in EU countries. Psychosomatic Institute has a long experience of training classes and vocational courses at academic level. It is based on remote teaching techniques using its own Internet platform and synchronous communication via Internet, that allows students to continue employment. WHAT? The participants will: • exchange experience in conducting training classes and vocational courses based on remote teaching techniques with a use of Internet platform; • discuss the needs for competences of social workers and health supplementary stuff in European countries; • discuss possibilities of international co-operation in education and training of social workers and health supplementary stuff; • discuss possibilities of cooperation in language skills distance learning during first year of studies.

Renforcer les liens avec le monde du travail, la recherche et la société dans son ensemble 3.2. Développer lʼesprit dʼentreprise POURQUOI? Ce projet a pour objectif de renforcer les échanges de bonnes pratiques entre pays européens dans le domaine du lien Éducation-Entreprise. Il sʼinscrira dans les actions phares menées par lʼacadémie dʼAmiens à lʼoccasion de la Présidence française de lʼUnion européenne. Le ministère français a en effet inscrit lʼenseignement professionnel et lʼorientation comme deux des six thèmes principaux de débats et dʼéchanges dans lʼéducation pendant les six mois de Présidence. Lʼacadémie dʼAmiens contribuera à cette réflexion nationale par lʼorganisation de ce séminaire et par la communication de ses conclusions. En France, la culture dʼentreprise et lʼesprit dʼentreprendre sont actuellement renforcés dans la formation des jeunes à différents moments de leur scolarité. Lors du séminaire, trois niveaux seront étudiés: • au niveau du collège lors de lʼorientation des jeunes pour une voie de formation qui prédéterminera les enjeux «métiers»; • au niveau des lycées lors de la réalisation de prestations en partenariat avec les entreprises; • à lʼuniversité, dans le cadre dʼune coopération tournée vers la recherche et lʼinnovation. Ces rencontres auront pour objectif de répondre à la question suivante: comment construire un plan dʼactions qui permette au système éducatif de sʼinscrire dans les priorités dʼun territoire? QUOI? • Confronter des pratiques en matière de découverte des métiers chez les jeunes, les lycéens et les étudiants; • mesurer les forces et les faiblesses des différents dispositifs: diminution des décrochages par la remobilisation que cela fait naître; • analyse des ruptures souvent provoquées par les chocs culturels dʼun jeune face aux contraintes de lʼentreprise; • développer cet esprit dʼentreprendre tout au long de la formation première à travers des actions de partenariats avec le monde économique: mesure des potentialités de reprise dʼentreprise voire de création tout au long de la formation; • proposition des actions pendant la formation qui développent cet état dʼesprit; • intégrer lʼinnovation à lʼesprit dʼentreprendre, pas seulement technologique (brevet) mais aussi comportementale (comment oser faire autrement que les autres pour se démarquer dans un monde concurrentiel?). COMMENT? • En visitant des collèges et en particulier en rencontrant des élèves ayant suivi lʼoption 3 h ou le module 6 h en classe de 3e; • en rencontrant une association nationale dont le président est picard, qui promeut la mise en place de mini-entreprise au sein des collèges et lycées; • en rencontrant des partenaires économiques et régionaux: conseil régional, chambres consulaires, branches professionnelles, ministère de lʼindustrie (DRIRE); • en rencontrant des acteurs internes: inspecteurs pédagogiques, responsables de lʼorientation, ingénieur pour lʼécole; • en rencontrant des acteurs nationaux: CERPET, AFDET, OPPE, inspecteurs généraux, chargés de mission.

Améliorer lʼéducation et la formation des enseignants et des formateurs 3.2. Développer lʼesprit dʼentreprise POURQUOI? Dans le contexte actuel en France, les régions rurales souffrent démographiquement, économiquement et socialement. Les flux de populations de ces dernières années ont complètement modifié la composition de ces territoires et sont à lʼorigine dʼune reconfiguration des besoins de ces territoires et populations ruraux. De plus, le manque de culture pour entreprendre, aussi bien au niveau des individus, que des systèmes dʼacteurs et des territoires, est un frein, en milieu rural encore plus quʼailleurs, pour lʼémergence et le développement dʼinitiatives. Afin de favoriser lʼesprit dʼinitiative dont dépendent à la fois le développement des territoires et le maintien de la population jeune dans ceux-ci, lʼI2ER et ses partenaires locaux ont mis en place des actions et outils pédagogiques ayant pour objectif une meilleure compréhension du monde de lʼentreprise en général, et des enjeux de lʼentrepreneuriat en particulier. La méthode MIME (Méthode dʼinitiation au métier dʼentrepreneur) est un des exemples dʼoutils pédagogiques. Elle a été adaptée à des contextes de formation différents en France: étudiants de grandes écoles, de BTS, de lycéens ou encore jeunes en difficulté dʼinsertion. QUOI? Les objectifs de cette visite dʼétude sont de: • présenter le système français dʼaide à la création dʼentreprises, les particularités de la problématique du milieu rural et le comparer avec les systèmes des pays participant à la visite; • présenter, à partir dʼexemples en région Limousin, des dispositifs et des bonnes pratiques en faveur de la promotion de la culture entrepreneuriale chez les jeunes, et échanger sur les points forts et points faibles de ces dispositifs avec les acteurs les mettant en œuvre: État, collectivités locales, associations, organismes de formation professionnelle, etc. • présenter des outils pédagogiques et échanger avec les formateurs et les publics bénéficiaires de ces outils. Pour ces deux derniers points, il est prévu dʼaller faire des visites sur des sites où sont mis en œuvre ces dispositifs et outils (organismes de formation, associations dʼaide à la création dʼactivité, collectivités, etc.). • rencontrer et échanger avec de jeunes créateurs dʼentreprises; • échanger lors de tables rondes sur les points forts et points faibles des expériences étudiées. COMMENT? Il est prévu lors de cette visite: • des rencontres avec des organismes locaux (collectivités locales, associations, organismes de formation) qui présenteront leurs pratiques et des jeunes engagés dans une démarche de sensibilisation à lʼesprit dʼentreprise; • des tables rondes moments dʼéchanges avec des acteurs limousins; • la présentation dʼoutils pédagogiques (MIME: Méthode dʼinitiation au métier dʼentrepreneur) et participation à des séances dʼanimation des outils; • un moment dʼéchange avec des experts/chercheurs en entrepreneuriat. Nous vous proposons également comme moment fort de cette visite dʼassister à la remise des prix dʼun concours récompensant de jeunes créateurs dʼentreprise où vous pourrez éventuellement intervenir.

Developing skills for the knowledge society 3.2. Developing the spirit of enterprise WHY? In an ever-changing society schools also have a challenge to change and adapt to the changes in the world. The traditional hidden curriculum requires students to sit quiet and obey the authorities. In this way they would become good employees for the needs of industry. The transfer from an industrial society to a knowledge society requires a cultural change in business, industry and the public sector. Todayʼs and future employees should be able to operate holistically through creativity, thinking, personality and a network. They also has to be able to work with others in teams. Hierarchical structures do not work any more in a culture based on inner entrepreneurship and coaching rather that on giving and obeying orders. By implementing a new team academy learning method we will teach our students how to apply the latest knowledge into practice through projects and practical experimenting with customers. WHAT? • • • • To provide/improve cooperation between educational institutes and business for common benefit; to learn about how trainers/teachers/coaches are taught how to teach young entrepreneurs; to provide flexibility and education to allow students to combine work and studies; to learn about team academy concept of studying entrepreneurship by using a method “learning by doing”; • to examine challenges and pitfalls in integrating entrepreneurship education into curriculum. HOW? • To meet and discuss with teachers, trainers, coaches, students; • to meet promoters of best-practice projects; • to meet and discuss with policy-makers, local authorities, chamber of commerce, chamber of craft; • to observe school-local enterprise collaboration and talk to involved partners; • to meet young people who have set up and run business. WHOM? Company training managers; directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers; directors of validation or accreditation centres; head teachers, teacher trainers; owners/managers of SMEs; representatives of chambers of commerce/ industry/crafts; representatives of education and training networks and associations.

Gre za finsko metodo oz. visokošolski študijski program podjetništva, ki temelji na učenju skozi delo. Metoda je v postopku implementacije v državah EU, kot so Francija, Nizozemska, Španija in Nemčija. Gre za sodobni model študija podjetništva, kjer študenti klasične predavalnice zamenjajo za konkretna podjetja, ki jih ustanovijo sami, klasične profesorje pa nadomestijo t.i. coachi oz. trenerji, ki predstavljajo podporno učno okolje. Kontinuirani process sprememb delovnega okolja zahteva stalne prilagoditve sposobnosti in kompetenc posameznika. TA metoda/program temelji na principu ustvarjanja družbe znanja, kjer se sposobnosti/kompetence posameznika razvijajo v petih osnovnih dimenzijah: Pridobivati nova teoretična znanja stroke; Učiti se ta znanja uporabljati v praksi; Razviti sposobnosti§ posameznika da dela v teamu; Razvijanje posameznikove osebnosti§ in njegove čustvene intelegence. V okviru študijskega obiska želimo predvsem spoznati/izmenjati izkušnje s področja uveljavljanja in poučevanja podjetništva tako s strani ciljnih skupin s področja terciarnega izobraževanja, kakor tudi s strani ciljnih skupin podjetnikov ter predstavnikov vladnih inštitucij, ki lahko pomembno vplivajo na vsebine kurikuluma.

The third sector offers a unique approach to involving local people. Wolverhampton is a Midlands city where both educational attainment and business start up remains low. All Saints action network (ASAN) is a community based organisation working with residents to develop learning and encourage enterprise. WHAT? Number of places: 15 Minimum required: 7 The aim of the visit is to provide participants with an understanding of how a community based enterprise can promote and engage local residents in learning and enterprise development. This will be achieved firstly through demonstrating the role of various types of learning programmes linked to community services offered.

Developing skills for the knowledge society 1.5. Making the best use of resources WHY? The creative industries have a significant role in the regeneration strategies across the EU. Research into best practice clearly illustrates how effective business incubation can be. However, within the creative industries graduates move towards self-employment in specialist workshops with only 11% of graduate designers progressed into major design companies. The traditional business development incubator environment is not suitable for creatives because of the specialist resources and needs of the industry yet these embryonic companies require generic business support that is delivered in a way that recognises these unique requirements. Design graduates are reluctant to develop business skills and entrepreneurial acumen. Also, traditional areas of business support are not geared up to dealing with creative businesses, there are challenges with persuading talented entrepreneurs of the importance of commercial skills and they do not recognise of the worth of their intellectual property. WHAT? This study trip will: • give an overview to business support training for the creative industries; • present a range of methodologies including virtual and actual incubation; • provide the opportunity to experience business support in action. HOW? Participants will: • visit creative industries development agencies in the NW of England; • visit training providers; • meet with key personnel in the development of content for specific training material; • have the opportunity to meet successful SMEs within the creative industries.

I Nordland har denne metodikken fått stor oppmerksomhet, ikke bare nasjonalt, men også internasjonalt. Det kan nevnes at i Bodø kommune har vi verdens to første barnehagebedrifter. Vi har i dette området flere gode eksempler på elevbedrifter, ungdomsbedrifter og lærlingbedrifter. Dette er også ganske unikt i verdenssammenheng. I tidsrommet mars/ april arrangeres det hvert år en ungdomsmesse, hvor elev/ungdomsbedriftene presenterer seg og sine produkt. Vi forsøker hvert år å knytte Study Visit opp til denne messen som går over to dager, slik at deltakerne får et inntrykk av aktiviteten i Nordland. (Forbehold om tidspunkt i forhold til omtalte messe. Ikke fastlagt.) Dessuten besøker vi næringsliv og videregående skoler i området, samt at deltakerne får oppleve ekte nord - norsk natur og smake tradisjonsrike lokale matretter.

Developing skills for the knowledge society WHY? As socio-economic factors in European countries improve mobility of peoples throughout Europe, turning Europe into a huge village where its citizens along with their national identity carry a European one as well, the need to raise awareness about other peoplesʼ culture and language is crucial. Speaking a foreign language from a very early age is necessary nowadays, as the need to communicate with people of other countries, with different cultural characteristics, leads to a need for generating tolerance and respect for the ʻotherʼ and ʻdifferentʼ so we can all live in a peaceful world together. As language, carrying cultural aspects of a people, is the vehicle which brings people close to one another, it should be appreciated and given the attention it deserves. WHAT? Practices and teaching strategies that involve active learnersʼ participation particularly at an early age will be seen in classrooms visited by participants. The study visit will focus on strategies that make learning more attractive and at the same time improve foreign language learning. Bringing education professionals together European co-operation will be strengthened and mobility and exchanges are expected to be increased. HOW? Participants will see teaching strategies that help learners acquire the taught language through active participation. Learning by doing will be the principle that underlies all the activities. Young learners will be actively involved in games, songs, miming, role-plays, storytelling, sketches, etc., that will help them assimilate the new language code. Sharing ideas and experiences, as well as the building of bonds of friendship between participants, will help them strengthen both their professional and European profile. WHOM? • • • • • Educational and vocational training inspectors; head teachers, teacher trainers; heads of departments; pedagogical or guidance advisers; representatives of educational services, labour offices or guidance centres.

Improving education and training for teachers and trainers 3.3. Improving foreign language learning WHY? • Education and training 2010 objectives defend improving “FL learning” and the global “development of skills for the knowledge society”. • Among the eight key-competences for lifelong learning are: foreign language communication and cultural sensitivity and expression. • English is an important tool that enables multilingualism and learning other languages – English learning as a platform for other learning experiences and communication. • Teachers, directors and other people dealing with early years are confronted with the need of introducing English, as soon as possible, and to improve teaching and organisational competences around it. However, European indicators reveal that learning of FLs is not yet 100% guaranteed, reaching nearly 50% at primary school . • The need for investment on experiences, teaching opportunities and exchange between different actors involved in promoting early English learning is widely perceived by teachers, researchers and professionals. WHAT? Participants will accomplish these learning objectives: • share their experiences and perspectives about English for young learners (YL) in their countries; • contact with the good organisational principles and practical experiences implemented in Beja in the ME programme; • observe English classes and teachersʼ methodologies and tools, with direct contact with teachers and pupils; • know the main conclusions of research projects and other actions; • discuss and work on practical issues concerning the implementation of English for YL to maximise participantsʼ backgrounds; • disseminate the results of the study visit to interested parties.

Developing skills for the knowledge society WHY? The national qualifications framework was established in order to establish and maintain a framework of qualifications for the development, recognition and award of qualifications based on standards of knowledge, skill or competence to be acquired by learners. It is a single nationally and internationally accepted entity, through which all learning achievements may be measured and related to each other in a coherent way and which defines the relationship between all education and training awards. The introduction of the NFQ has resulted in significant changes from an education and training provider perspective. It has also created interesting opportunities in terms of programme design and delivery, the provision of accreditation and the role of quality assurance. WHAT? The national framework of qualifications was launched in October 2003 and since then there has been a process of implementing the framework in place. It is a system of ten levels that incorporates awards made for all kinds of learning, wherever it is gained. The framework has a number of implications for Vocational education in terms of adapting qualitifications and also by creating new opportunities for learners providers and employers to accredit learning. HOW? The study visit will involve a general overview of the development of the framework as well as visits to vocational training providers to look at the practical implementation of the code to look at the implications for training providers and learners alike. There will also be opportunities to discuss the development of National Qualifications frameworks against the background of the European framework for qualifications.
