"The project ""FIFT - Training Business Family Territory: growth through new alliances"" aims at the exchange of good practices related to the school/work alternation training model. FIFT is therefore born in this European context where the partners intend, by the project, to deepen the founding elements of school/work alternation pedagogy conceived in the different European dual systems, and which therefore concern not only the school / training center and the company, but look with great attention also to the other two actors of this model, the learners with their families and the territory / community of origin as a whole. The partnership through the project acted on: - increase the knowledge and the awareness of staff and organisations involved on the methodology of the school-work alternation; - promote the WBL educational model according to the indications that Europe is addressing to the Member States; - promote exchanges between the educational system, the territory, the company and the society; - promote new or better practices to meet the needs of young people and to address the variety of learning outcomes resulting from geographical and socio-economic disparities;- increase the cooperation between several actors; - strengthen cooperation between AIMFR members in Europe. The partnership consists of 7 entities (Cefal ER - leader, FARI, EFA GALICIA, EFA QUINTANES, EPVR, ABU gGmbH, CFA MRF) from 5 European countries: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and France. All partners have experience, learning and organizational models related to the dual system, to the apprenticeship and in general to the work / experience based learning models. The exchange of good practices, aimed by the FIFT project, took place through various types of activities: - 5 transnational meetings in each of the 5 countries involved. They were organized on the model of study visit / follow up meeting. The last one, the fifth meeting, was online- virtual joint staff training: a comparison and re-elaboration of the various study visits in the light of the different models applied and / or experienced in the countries through a comparison between ""peers"", led by on site experts. The project achieved direct results on the participants in the transnational meetings and in the joint staff training in terms of knowledge and skills related to the work/experience based learning methodologies. Moreover, the FIFT project partnership promoted communication, information and dissemination actions meant to reach a heterogeneous target of actors representing the adopted methodological approaches: companies, community in its various institutional expressions, families and their associations, other centers or vocational training centers, their networks / associations at national and European level. Through the Transnational meetings we met and involved- more than 50 directors, coordinators and trainers, - more than 25 trainees, - more than 10 training centres, - more than 14 companies - more than 4 public institutions Through the Joint Staff Training Event we involved at least 70 trainers, coordinators and experts in each of the 3 days.The deliverables that can be used by anyone interested in the items of the FIFT project are:12 Good practices related to work/experience-based learning methodologies6 video interviews with some protagonists of the GERMAN DUAL SYSTEM (students, teachers, trainers, parents and Chamber of Crafts)4 video interviews with some protagonists of the alternance methodology model in Spain (students, teachers, trainers)1 video interview with Miguel Ángel Ariño - IESE Business School on the social impact of business in the training of young people"
