Description

Today’s school graduates must be able to adapt to ongoing change in many aspects of their lives. For most young people career-life planning will not be a matter of making one major decision and living with it for a lifetime. The educators should accept this situation. Their key question “What do you want to be in your future life?” should be replaced by the other one “What skills and competences do you need to be competitive in the labour market in the definite area of your interests?” If students leave school being unaware of their skills and unaware of their competences that our century looks for, they will be unprepared for the challenges of society and workforce. This challenging present situation at 6 project partner schools united them in working on the idea of the project – how can we organize the education process at school effectively and help young people to improve their skills and competences for their further working pathway. The project is the challenge both for teachers and students. During the project preparation stage all schools have done the SWOT analysis. It turned out that all schools need to find the best way how to develop the adults of tomorrow. The schools need to broadens their borders and integrate all possibilities of their local communes in their education process. Bringing the real world in the classroom or taking pupils out of the classroom will motivate them to develop their skills and competences. It will not only broaden the borders of the school but also broaden the horizon both for teachers and students to realize the offered possibilities outside the school premises for development of their skills and competences. By sharing experience, the project partners could find new ideas and ways how to do that. Each school has a definite input in career-education but as all borders of the EU countries are opened for young people it is worth to compare the skills and competences needed for them in the EU context. The overall aim of the project is to highlight possibilities of development students’ skills and possibilities outside school premises and disseminate the best practices. That will be the way how to raise both pupils and teachers’ competences and find the effective way of collaboration. The project is pupils centred and we would like to address pupils with different interests and challenges. During the project activities both teachers and students are encouraged to turn academic knowledge into the practical ones. The local communes could be of great help. All these activities are highly practical and based upon participants’ practical experience of coping with real life situations or problems. The project will run for two years and are split into 6 modules. We feel that dividing the main aim of the project into 6 topics gives the project a clear and well-defined frame which will help us structure our activities well and allow for the pupils with different interests get the most of the project. While doing job shadowing and volunteer work, summarizing experience of the representatives of the inherited industries, interviewing entrepreneurs and students with experience of studying abroad, examining the requested skills and competences of the 21st job market – the project participants will see the vast area of possibilities of improving their skills and competences outside the school premises. As a result of implementation of this project the students will have an individual portfolio which will serve as a starting point in the development of their employability competence. Besides, the teachers will find out of using these possibilities in their everyday work. As the final product will be the summary of possibilities of the development of students’ skills and competences outside the school premises for their further working life it will be of great help for the teachers at all project partners schools. The project could be the spring board how career advisors could elaborate system of co-operating with the subject teachers in students’ career education.All in all, the title of the project “Do, develop, donate” reflects the idea of the project in the best way – while you are at school you should do everything by using all possibilities to develop your skills and competences to donate to the development of the society in your further working pathway.
