Project Summary

The idea of the project arose on the basis of school needs in the area of development of business skills of students and pedagogical staff. Our partnership consisted of four schools – from Slovakia, Italy, Croatia and Spain.

In the project, we focused on cooperation within economical subjects and on development of business skilss and competencies. The target group of the project were pedagogical staff and students of the schools, wider regional community as well as deputees of a local government and regional businnes entities.

The aims of the project corresponded with priorities of the project. We developed the key competencies of students for all target groups and supported the creativity of both students and teachers. At schools, we focused on implementation of new components (CLIL, inter-subject relationships, methodology) on school educational programmes.

During the realization of the project, we organized four short term student exchanges of partner schools and two short term mobilities for teachers and two mobilities that were held in virtual form. During these meetings as well as within local activities, the participants worked on formation of final project outputs.

Teachers prepared a methodology for trading training companies with a proposal for the duties of individual departments and the organization of relationships in the training company. In addition to the methodology, they also prepared a competency profile of a young entrepreneur with educational outcomes for the subject training company as well as a manual for evaluating the students in a training company.
Under the guidance of the teachers, students prepared a collection of business and personal letters in English. The letters were processed during joint workshops, where students exchanged business information. A dictionary of economic terms and a manual of preparation for the job interview were also prepared for the collection.
An important outcome was the exchange of information on doing business in partner countries. The result of this area is a guide to the labor market of EU countries and a guide to doing business in EU countries.

All the partner schools will use the results of the project within the educational proces. All the presentations, outputs and information materials acquired through the realization of the project will be used in subjects such as training companies, economics, business correspondence, geography and cultural preparation. The results of exchange experience acquired through the project will be included in school educational programmes of the schools. They will also use certain results for the projects and activities within the further and lifelong education.
