"The project will focus the attention of our students on the peculiarities of the territory where they live. Discovering what the territory can offer in terms of environmental, artistic and monumental attractions, specific niche products coming from local farms or crafts, cultural events and what can be related to a so called style of life, the students will learn how these ""products"" can appear appealing to the partners' students for their enjoyment. The activities will allow the students to discover unknown perspectives related to the region or country where they live and how these distinctive traits can produce wellness, social cohesion, and chances of job and wealth. The challenge is that they have to present them in a captivating way to their partners and build with them a series of tours related with Culture, and Enogastronomy, and generically, with a style of life, specific of the area where they live. The students will create different multimedia products (flyers, posters, videoclips, a website) where they present and advertise specific tours related with ""Tourism, Enogastronomy and Culture"" in typical location of their area. They will offer the outcomes of their work to selected stakeholders and local administrator, in a specific event closing the meetings.Every school will grant the mobility of 24 students and 4 teachers, with a staff of other 4 teachers collaborating to the activities.The students of every school will collect info and different materials related to the topic, will share them with partners via internet, will work in presence during the meetings to create a touristic offer based on tours, thought to promote some specific aspects of their own area.The main methodology will be the ""flipped classroom"" and the ""project work in team"".The results we expect from this project are: - discovering of hidden peculiarities and increasing of the consideration that our students have about the territory where they live- understanding how these peculiatity can look appealing to people coming from other countries and cultures- learning how the resources of their own area can produce work and wealth- improving the students' English fluency in a work context- improving their ICT skills.On the long term the main benefit will be the enhancing of students and families' European sentiment, making them proud of their cultural heritages thanks to the activity of sharing them with the partners. Another aspect will be the contribution that the school may give for the promotion of the territory where is located, reinforcing the relationship with the social and economic istitutions at the local level."

<< Objectives >>By realizing practical classes in agriculture and food processing, students strengthen their competencies in grape processing and wine production, juice production and making apple chips, as well as hydroponic strawberry production in controlled conditions. Motivated students will apply and disseminate knowledge among their peers, on their own farms or as a professionally competent workforce in the European labour market. The teachers will apply new practical methods and techniques in teaching.<< Implementation >>Practical classes – Module: Viticulture and wine production – Venue: MariborPractical classes – Module: Process of apple juice production and Process of production of apple chips – Venue: ČakovecPractical classes – Module: Hydroponics of strawberry production in controlled conditions with computer control – Venue: Aleksinac<< Results >>63 students with ECVET and Europass documents will be trained and motivated to apply and disseminate knowledge among peers, on their own farms and as a skilled workforce in the European labor market.18 teachers participating in the project will apply new practical methods and techniques in the implementation of practical teaching. They will be motivated to work in their school and with the local community on providing material and technical possibilities for the realization of practical classes

Project International Forklift Training (IFT) is our contribution to the development of European strategies in vocational education. In previous cooperation with partners, we noticed the need to develop mutual learning programmes, which will be based on learning outcomes, learning at work and where gained knowledge will be equally evaluated and acknowledged no matter where they were acquired. This will contribute to increased quality of education. We will educate staff according to the needs on the labour market and our students will be more competitive and more employable on international level. Moreover, European economy will be more competitive on the world level.International Forklift Training is our small step in that direction. Through this project, we are going to develop mutual module of education for students and recent graduated students in forklift training, which will be based on ECVET. We will develop mutual learning outcomes and develop models of evaluation and recognition of gained knowledge regardless of where they have been acquired.We plan to develop interactive glossary which will help mentors/teachers and students to manage forklift training. We will include 26 students from all partner institutions in international forklift training. Through their training we will test and validate developed programmes, teaching methods and training materials.We will develop mechanisms for international validation and acknowledgement of gained knowledge and we will test their applicability. Moreover, we will train at least 50 students in our institutions for forklift operating based on newly created programmes and methods. This will all be a platform for long-term cooperation and training of students through Erasmus+ mobilities in future projects which will be more adjusted to students’ and employers’ needs and which will contribute to easier employment of highly skilled future employees.All the results of the project will be publicly presented to other interested vocational schools and companies and they will be encouraged to join us in the next project. All the created materials will be available to anyone interested on eTwinning.We want to create functional, internationally acceptable and simple training program, which is based on European strategies of vocational education, which will at the same time be a model for bringing closer educational programmes in different countries, and to validate and acknowledge gained knowledge in Europe more easily.
