The project STEPS4Schools deals with aspects of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) that should be introduced and promoted in the course of the project. In a first step, the aspect of sustainable tourism shall form the general topic for implementing aspects of learning business English, improving entrepreneurial skills (as marketing, tourism and project management), applying ICTtools and cooperating in an international group. In a second stage, the range of topics will be enlarged by dealing with further Sustainable Development Goals that will be chosen by individual schools on the basis of local requirements and topical interests. The 6 schools involved all have a vocational background although their profiles differ. By means of that, each school can contribute a specific approach to the topic and take care of a particular field of interest. Most of the teachers involved have a lot of experience in carrying out international projects and can contribute a lot of knowledge in various fields.The main aims of the project are to teach students about the UN SDGs. They should be made aware of the problems facing our planet but also that there are solutions to these problems. By pursuing these Sustainable Development Goals students should be enabled to make a valuable contribution to improving environmental, social and economic aspects of our societies and to pursue practicable solutions to challenges on different levels. Already as students they should be put in a position to assess information, evaluate reports and take responsible decisions for our future.Devising concepts in one concrete field - sustainable tourism - they should come up with practicable soultions that can be tried out and implemented in practice. The project shall empower them to gain the necessary skills and knowledge in order to be able to act as responsible citizens and take fact-based decisions. These are qualities that will also be important in their future professionsl lives.Furthermore, this project will also demonstrate that nowadays occurences have a far wider scope beyond the borders of the European Union. In an ever more interdependent world it is necessary to look beyond boundaries and be open for worldwide developments.To reach these goals of the project students will be invoved in various learning processes. They will increase their language proficiency in English, but will also be challenged to translate brochures and other content material into other languages or seek help from people capoble of that. This is necessary because of the internationalisation of toursim which calls for addressing touriists in their mother tongue.They will gain enhanced IT knowledge that will be needed for sourcing information, implementing tasks and disseminating project results. One special aspect in connection therewith will be the documentation of certain steps of the project, filmed material about the final results and the appropriate provision of this material for further use by stakeholders and other people interested. This will take the usual dissemination process one step further than previous projects and calls for speciel equipment and knowledge about application of videotaped media and related productions.On top of that, they will have to build up cooperations with stakeholders like travel and tourism representatives and other stakeholders involved in the field.They will have to learn how to organise and market events and projects and finally evaluate the outcome of these.Working with people not known to each other before and with disabled and disadvantaged people will pose a challenge, but also a great chance of learning both on an emotianal level and on an intercultural level. Finetuning touristic concepts to customers´ needs requires a lot of knowledge about certain aspects of culture and habits, therefore the exchange of knowledge and ideas on an international level between students is of utmost importance. The experience of working in an international group on a level of strong cooperation will provide invaluable experience for the students´ future lives and put them in position to act in an appropriate way. (We know about this aspect from previous project, where the compulsion to work together on an international level has proved very vital for the project.)All in all, the project will offer a valuable contribution to societies in Europe and supply workable solutions to various problems.
