This goal will be achieved by the arrangement of two international meetings - Training and Learning activities. One meeting will be held in Norway and second one in the Czech Republic. The meeting in Norway will be focused on lectures, workshops and job shadowing led by experienced Norwegian teachers for their Czech colleagues in the topic of coaching the student companies and entrepreneurship. Norwegian school belongs to the most successful ones in Norway in this regard and its pupil develop even their own real products which are successfully offered to the business sector. Czech school will organize similar Training activity in the Czech Republic and will provide its experience to Norwegian colleagues in terms of smart IT solutions applicable in the running of the student companies and entrepreneurship.

Summary of bilateral results

The expertise of this partner enabled the Czech school to improve considerably the quality of teaching the student companies. The Czech school on the other has a very advanced level of implementation of smart IT solutions in the teaching process which was very appreciated by the Norwegian school. Both schools developed a teacher''s manual summingup the expertise that each school can offer to the partner. We expect the long-term effect of the project on both of the involved schools. Both partners got a big incentive to implement the enhanced methods in lessons of entrepreneurship and running the student companies. Findings gathered by the schools will be also reflected in the reasonable changes of school curricula in the vocational subjects directly linked to entrepreneurship.
