Erasmus + project "WE MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE ABOUT EDUCATION AND WORK IN EU COUNTRIES"
in the High School No. 1 in Barlinek From 01/09/2015, our school is implementing an international project in
cooperation with two foreign schools. Our partners in the project are: Trgovacka Skola, Zagreb, Croatia – which teaches young people aged between 16-19. It is a technical and vocational high school. The school educates students in two programs, for retailers and traders. The school also offers an adult program. The second partner is Vrilissia Second Lyceum, Athens, Greece, which is a public high school, high school, located in the northern part of Athens. The annual recruitment of the school is around 110-130 students who receive a general
education. Students of our schools thanks to the knowledge, experience acquired during the project implementation and through the International Program of Extracurricular Activities could plan their path of personal and professional development more consciously. For three years, once a month we have carried out thematic workshops on entrepreneurship and setting up a business. During these extracurricular activities, during which we recorded films, performed surveys among young people, studied rankings of educational directions and needs of labor markets, confronting them with the dreams and preferences of our students.
During the project implementation period, there were 4 organization-monitoring visits for teachers and 4 youth exchanges. In every exchange participated 12 to 18 students and 2 teachers from each partner school. During these meetings, we visited companies, universities, and also participated in numerous workshops related with education and the labor market in the host countries. Working in international groups, we presented our colleagues with the results of research on our own dreams, future fields of education and dreamed, interesting and wellpaid jobs or professions in our countries. The first students exchange took place in April 2016 in Zagreb, the second in
October 2016 in Athens, the third in May 2017 in Zagreb. Currently 15-20 April 2018, we are holding the last summary exchange in Barlinek.
