Project Summary

Learning objectives

In a changing society it is difficult to choose a profession. A lot of students don’t know what kind of professions are available. When students visit other countries and meet other people, they experience the possibilities which the EU offers. They cross borders. The project and exchanges can contribute to job possibilities the students never could have imagined. Maybeit can prevent early school drop-out.

Participants are Istituto Comprensivo Corrado Melone (Ladispoli-Italy) en het Roelof van Echten College (Hoogeveen-Netherlands).
The students of Roelof van Echten College come from a pre-vocational & vocational school.
The students of Istituto Compresive Corrade Melone come from a middle school.

In the first year of the project the students investigate the knowledge about the EU in their immediate environment inhabitable. They make inquiries and the students ask their parents and family about this subject.
The same subject is also investigated in Ladispoli. The students create presentations.
When the exchange happens, the students compare their results.

In the second year of the project, the students investigate the role of the EU in the region where they live. They visit companies, the local councils, and people who have moved from other countries. The students compare their results and create presentations.

The results of the inquiries will be incorporated in a presentation. For example in a blog, website paper or Youtube movie.
The results could be used by the local governments to prepare their future EU policy.

The project will run for 2 years.
In each year there will be exchange.
2018 – 2019 15 Dutch students will visit Italy.
2018 – 2019 15 Italian students will visit the Netherlands

And in
2019 – 2020 15 Dutch students will visit Italy
2019 – 2020 15 Italian students will visit the Netherlands.

Year 2 of the project.
The first part of the project: lessons and creating of inquiries were established.
The second year stopped abrupt. They couldn’t compare the results of the suveys and the interviews they did in the companies in the Netherlands and Italy because of the coronavirus. Till the beginning of the twinning, the first week of March the moment the Dutch students were ready to go to Italy we did our programm: The programm was the same as the first year, but this students did do their interviews and surveys with people who have a job in a company. So they had to think which questions are important and relevant to ask, what do we want to know. They made their presentations ready to present in Italy. The Italian and Dutch teachers stil kept in contact with each other, but it was to complecated to compare the results online and to do the presentations with all those students who were not in the schools but at home and some with hardly any Wifi.

Due to COVID-19, the actual exchange couldn’t take place. (the second year of the project)
