Description
Glemmen School- Zdrávka Bond is a project about bilateral partnership between two secondary schools from the Czech Republic and Norway. This project is supported by EEA grants. The aim of the project is to support the attractiveness and quality of vocational education and to support a long- term cooperation between the two schools. Within the staff mobility three teachers from each school will visit a nursing school in a partner school for the purpose of mutual professional development. They will job shadow their colleagues, gain inspiration and share their experience. Four pupils from each school, who are being trained for the profession of nursing assistant, will take part in an internship in health care facilities in a partner country. The interns will provide patients´ basic health care under the mentor´s supervision. We will use the unit of expected learning outcomes according to ECVET to define content and assessment of the internship and ensure the quality of the project. All participants will gain valuable experience and improve their professional and communication skills. After successful finishing of the mobility each student will gain Europass Mobility Certificate and their practical training will be recognised by the sending school. The desired impact of the project is their motivation for further study and work. We believe that experience of the internship will positively influence personal and professional life and form students’ way of looking at the society and the European Union.
Summary of project results
Summary of bilateral results
Norwegian partners are very experienced in international projects. Their school has modern way of teaching with a large degree of digital aids and the teachers are highly skilled with PC. Our teachers were glad they could share experience and ideas with Norwegian teachers and could discuss similarities and differences in education and health care system. They could inspire in teaching methods and in assessment of students. The Norwegian coordinator helped with planning the project activities and willingly shared ideas with us. Norwegian and Czech teachers extended professional knowledge and skills. They strengthened their organisational and decision making skills. They had to cope with stress during solving unpredictable situations connected with COVID-19. The teachers improved their communication in foreign language and learnt something new about partner´s culture and tradition. Students also could benefit from this cooperation. They strengthened their self-confidence at work in an international team and improved their professional qualities. They practised their communication in foreign language and made new friends. These all increased their motivation for further study. Both organisations appreciate the partnership which helps fulfil the educational objectives. Health facilities suffer from lack of employers-nurses and other workers and such project supports vocational education and make it more attractive. And both teachers and students can learn many positive things from their partners. Luckily we have found the right partner. Our project partners are reliable and really friendly. Our teachers had visited school in Fredrikstad a year before in 2019 in Erasmus project. Norwegian teachers visited us in 2020. We were glad that we could meet all the needs of our partners feel a sense of reciprocity and they were satisfied with their stay in our town. Positive evaluation of our cooperation strengthened the partnership and led to a new project.
