EU gives you WINGS

The project “EU Gives You WINGS” stems from the need to strength in IVET students one of the key competences requested by the current economic context, i.e. sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.

The best way to transfer such skills is through the use of experiences that encourage the learning by doing approach. Among these, a crucial role is played by learning experiences based on the Project-based Learning (PBL) methodology and by the participation in transnational traineeships.

The specific objective of the project are:

1. To strength the competences of VET staff engaged in planning and managing learning processes using the PBL approach and through the exchange of good practices with other VET providers;

2. To strength technical/professional and linguistic skills of VET students, as well as  improve their transversal skills through transnational placements carried out in a different economic and social context.

To achieve these objectives, the project promotes three types of mobility activities:

1. Traineeship for IVET students in a company abroad for a period of three / four weeks;

2. Traineeship for IVET students in a VET center abroad – with learning periods in companies or other organisations – for a period of two weeks;

3. Job shadowing activities for staff members in other VET centers throughout Europe.

The project provides a wide sectorial and geographical coverage and will involve students, providers and partners from different economic sectors.

The main results of the project will be

1. A manual with the PBL methodologies and best practices seen by the staff during the job shadowing experiences;

2. The creation of video/ multimedia materials concerning students’experiences.
