Project Summary

We are three partners, Germany, Romania and Hungary, who are working on the project with the main target to develop a tool about/for the three EU-countries in an EU-partnership, indicating the opportunities to continue the education in Europe, in one of the participating countries in Erasmus+project and to review the possibilities to work in Europe e.g. RO, GER&HU with the qualification in the home country. This project is divided into four different phases which will take place in three different mobilities:
1. Workshop for school staff (Munich)
2. Training for students: European educational qualification and the opportunities on the labor market in Germany (Munich)
3. Training for students: Labour market with the focus on opportunities for job application and study at the university in Hungary (Hungary)
4. Trainng for students: European educational qualification and the opportunities on the labor market and study at the universityin in Romania (Romania)
The objective of each mobility is twofold:
1. Students, organized in international groups, will work jointly to develop an international tool as an answer to a real social and economical challenge on the European labour market. Students will follow the different phases stated above to develop a tool with differnt focus on the challenges of the European labour market in Germany, Hungary and Romania. By the end of the three phases or mobilities, students should have a digital tool of their product, which will be a guide for young people from the three partners in the project who want to continue their education in the EU-country or for those who are looking for the opportunities to work abroud, to find a workplacement and get higher qualification, according to the qualification, professional knowledge and skills in the home country. We are planning a video pitch to promote their activities..
