Project Summary

First we built Erasmus teams at every school who were responsible for the organisation at every school. Language clubs were built for the participaqting students. They concentrated on the online dictionary and the professional orientation portfolio.
A website was designed, where results were published (http:foreignlanguagesbestjobs.org), the project was esatblished on the etwinning platform, materials were uploaded and evaliated.
At the beginning of the project we started an evaluation among the students with the aim to find out about their attitude towards foreign language learning, their professional plans an their attitude towards interculturality. the students also wrote texts to introduce themselves and the life in their community.
Extra curricular activities took place especially in the field of professional orientation like visits to companies, that were organised, and professional information events, that were visited. the students alsoi did resarches on professions, where foreign languages play an important role and on rare professions, that the students were not fam,iliar with. The results were documented in form of characteristics. Furthermore the students did resaerches on the labor market situation of their region.
