Project Summary

The ISS-MORETTI and the Professional School of the Centre Asty-Moulin are committed to the ERASMUS+ system with the primary aim of exchanging and developing good, innovative teaching and learning practices, but also to offer their students and teachers the opportunity to understand the benefits of opening up to mobility, on a personal, cultural, educational and professional level.

The project has about ten educational staff, involved and/or accompanying, managers and teachers combined, from professional practice or general courses and 22 students from both schools, in sections related to maintenance and industrial services (electricity pole).

> The general objectives of the project are:

1) Create a pedagogical system that promotes the motivation of learners (co-development, mentoring, entrepreneurship) at the same time as the meeting between learning activities and the legal requirements of the respective countries.

2) Create the conditions for pedagogical innovation by developing a network that goes beyond the walls of the respective schools (transnational collaboration and involvement of local companies in the development of the school curriculum).

3) In connection with the discovery of Europe’s cultural heritage, our students cross borders, de-dramatize and understand the opportunities offered by mobility, particularly in terms of employment.

> In terms of communication and project organization, activities are organized to develop and consolidate the use of English as a preferred language of exchange. Participants are trained in the potential of e-Twinning in order to enrich the project with this dimension.

> In terms of technical learning, 2 main activities are organized around two mobilities:

1) Roseto students are going to Namur for a week in February 2020 to co-design distribution and connection mounting plates specific to the industrial sector. The system is organized here around the mentoring of Namur students, who are already prepared for this subject.

2) In March 2020, the Namur students are going to Roseto to install and commission the mounting plates made in February in the place dedicated in the laboratory at ISS-MORETTI. The Italian students in turn take on the role of mentor by presenting the Namur students with a new teaching plate with components adapted to the management of the hydroelectric connection, in connection with the discovery of the neighboring power plant.
During these two mobilities, the two schools engage in company visits, according to their technical interest but also according to their interest in a pedagogical support plan.

> In terms of European heritage, students from both schools organize visits to discover the respective local heritage. The subject of these visits will be defined with them according to a framework determined according to the objectives to be achieved.

All these activities are driven by the desire to develop entrepreneurship among our students. The students are a force of proposal, managers and directors of a certain number of activities, supervised and accompanied by their educators.

> With regard to support for educators, professional co-development activities are made possible through the exchange of practices, co-construction and regular analysis of the project; comparison, also of the realities and constraints of each individual.

The expected results are:

– The layout of the Roseto electricity lab with functional plates, co-developed with the participants.
– A sufficient command of English to communicate effectively within mobility, including the creation of an English-Italian-French technical glossary, also involving general course instructors.
– The provision of a didactic outline of the project, associated with a corresponding functional evaluation grid and in line with the requirements.

As far as long-term benefits are concerned, the whole project is crossed by experience evaluation times, focused on self-evaluation and reflexivity. Participants develop analytical skills that will enable them to adjust their actions and mechanisms throughout their lives, according to defined objectives. Critical skills in life and in the professional world. They are able to listen and adapt, aware of the constraints of project management and the world of employment, of the resource that everyone can also constitute, with their specific background and profile. They are not afraid to meet the other and look for potential relays in Europe to carry out their projects. They have become familiar with the communication tools that allow it. They dare.

The school will have given them the opportunity to have an experience that will leave its mark on them forever and that they will understand.
