Description
Glemmen School – Zdrávka friendship and cooperation is a project about mutual partnership and cooperation between the Secondary school in the Czech Republic and the Secondary school in Norwegian town Fredrikstad. The aim of our project is to support attractiveness and quality of vocational education of the pupils and teachers of our schools. Another aim is to establish and support long-term cooperation between the two schools.
Within the staff mobility six teachers from each school will visit the partner school. The aim of their visit is their professional development. Of course, they will share experience, gain inspiration for their teaching activities and make new contacts.
Four pupils from each school will participate in internships in medical facilities in the partner country. Nursing School sends students of the third year of the study of medical assistant field. During their mobility the students will provide basic care to patients under the supervision of a mentor. We will use the unit of expected learning outcomes according to ECVET to define content and assessment of the internship to 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 the students´ personal and professional life and form their way of looking at society and the European Union.
Summary of project results
Summary of bilateral results
Our partner school has a lot of experience with international projects, they have a lot of digital tools. Our teachers were happy to share their experiences and ideas, to discuss the differences between the education and health systems in Norway and the Czech Republic. The Norwegian coordinator helped us with planning project activities. Teachers from both countries expanded their professional knowledge, skills and language competences, learned something new about the culture and traditions of the partner. The students also benefited from this cooperation. They strengthened their self-confidence when working in an international team and improved their professional qualities, staying in a foreign environment improved their independence. They practiced communication in a foreign language and made new friendships. Both organizations appreciate the partnership, which helps meet educational goals, and plan to continue working together on future projects. Health and social care institutions in both countries are suffering from staff shortages, and projects like this motivate pupils to take up vocational training and make it more attractive.
