<< Background >>The FlorCert for Future-Master (FFF-M) project was created as a logical continuation of previous projects that schools in the Florcerta network have successfully implemented. Through the project European Certificate in Floral Design - FlorCert 2012, schools have developed a tool for quality assurance in secondary school education for the profession of florist - FlorCert (European Certificate of Floral Design). Main result Florist e-learn book 2016 a common e-learning platform with an e-book for florist education was designed. Through the establishment of equal European competencies at the basic level, the e-book has ensured the quality of education in the partner countries. By analyzing previous projects and conducting a survey of participants, we realized that there is a great need for professional development of teachers and mentors with employers, who work with students of the profession of florist.There is a problem of teacher competencies in schools, and we also find this problem with employers. There is no formal education for teachers with these specific floristic competencies, and there are few in-service trainings that are not targeted for teachers and employers. The new project will deal with this problem - the levels of professional knowledge of teachers and employers from basic to master level. An important topic in the floristic industry has long been the production and use of biodegradable materials. All stakeholders in the floristic industry (producers of flowers and greenery, producers of auxiliary materials for arranging, florists individually and through various associations) make great efforts to view as many floristic works as possible from the aspect of sustainable development. And the education of future florists in this chain is the most important. Since there are no contents in the existing textbooks that would focus on the ecological topic, we decided to set up contents that will take care of the environment and encourage florists to devise alternative and environmentally friendly ways of making their floristic works with harmless and degradable material, recycling and waste disposal.Through the newly created Covid situation, we realized that online communication between student-teacher-mentors with employers must be improved. We will create an app to make it easier to track and share student achievement, to make it easier for everyone in line to work. The developed application will be the basis for facilitated international communication, exchange of ideas and expertise.Increased teaching competencies and employers' competencies - strengthens the quality of the school and the employer, which has a positive impact on the profession, and students will be more prepared for the challenges of the European labor market.<< Objectives >>The use of electronic technology has become a part of social life. Distance learning was only possible during the COVID pandemic, so it is extremely important to create an e-environment for quality education, rapid communication, monitoring and evaluation in the student-teacher-employer triangle. The advantage of using ICT technology is fast adaptation. Thus, we will upgrade the E-book with new current content, related to the topics of environmental protection and climate change from the perspective of florists. Following the EU's sustainable development strategy, we will try to raise awareness of the importance of the use of biodegradable materials, waste disposal, recycling in the project partner countries because they have quite different attitudes and practices (from conscious Sweden to Serbia). By using interactive content, we want to act motivationally on the student and improve his skills and knowledge.By implementing the project, we want to increase the quality of education for partner professions for the profession of florist, through modular professional development of teachers, provide them with cooperation and exchange of experiences at the international level. We also offer mentors to employers to increase their competence to work with students. Training modules for both will be set from basic to master with clearly outlined learning outcomes. So that everyone will have the opportunity to get involved in training according to their needs. Our goal is to strengthen the teaching staff and mentors in flower shops whose strengthened competencies will greatly affect the quality of schools. Such schools, which is our goal, will become desirable schools of floristics in which students will want to enroll. By using the developed application for florists, employers will be able to more easily find educated future employees with European-uniform skills and knowledge, and students will have the opportunity to find employment throughout Europe.<< Implementation >>In order for the project to run smoothly, a good agreement between the partners is needed. Contracts, financial plan, project management plan, general plan of activities, implementation plan, promotion, dissemination, evaluation will be developed. There are most activities in the implementation of the project. First, the project partner teachers will work on the development of modular professional development for teachers on the one hand and employers on the other. Each of them has different requirements and should have different competencies to work with high school students. Modular training will be conducted from basic to master level of knowledge and skills. Partners will develop a scheme and guide with clearly outlined learning outcomes per module. And they will test all modules with teachers, students and experts. To improve and facilitate the learning of already existing content within the e-book, we will record short videos with school students, following the chapters of the book. The video is great interactive content, doesn’t need translation, and teaches a lot. In addition, we will prepare various quizzes, memo maps, etc. to master the material to make the content more interesting for students. We will develop an application that will be used by students to monitor their work (as a portfolio), communicate with each other, communicate with the teacher and mentor at the employer. The application will be tested and access will be free. We will evaluate each activity through satisfaction surveys. These results will be available on the official website of the project, FlorCert, through links on the school website and all other channels that schools have. In all the mentioned places, the promotion of the entire project with its results and activities will also take place. In particular, project dissemination events in all partner countries online and live will be prepared. In order to achieve all the results, we had to organize LTT activities in which the partners first learn, analyze, practice. During and at the end of the project, the partners submit reports related to finance, administration and work on specific tasks.<< Results >>The results of the project are a scheme and a guide to modular training of teachers and mentors with employers, applications for florists, interactive content with the current topic of sustainable development, all texts in English.Project participants will receive:- new knowledge, skills and competencies from other professional fields- within the project activities also new soft, social competencies, knowledge of a foreign language - English will be improved, connections between partners will be improved and strengthened and permanent cooperation will be created for new projects in the future, better flexibility, self-confidence, personal and professional development- developed social and intercultural competencies, critical thinking and media literacy- will develop new ICT competencies and thus contribute to better digitalization of the learning process- According to LTT 1 and 2, they will gain Europass, new competencies and increase self-confidence and work performance.Partner organizations:- will already partially improve the flexibility of vocational training programs (VET) and labor market monitoring when testing learning content- use of e-platform / better digitalization and ICT competencies of teachers and students / interactive pedagogical tools- due to the development of personal professional competencies, teachers involved in intellectual results will increase the quality of teaching- due to project promotion, multiplication, online meetings - organizations will be recognizable, will have better student enrollment- teaching in organizations will be at a higher level of quality - strengthening the quality of the organization, international visibility- Due to project activities there will be a greater connection between employees and management within the organization- better openness to the local and wider environmentMentors with employers- the use of the application for florists directly connects them with students-future employees,- are acquainted with better vocational education and training,- local companies will be more competitive and successful in the market
