Formar jovens cada vez mais tolerantes e com uma maior consciência intercultural e europeia, permitir a cooperação e a partilha de práticas pedagógicas, a nível europeu, entre sistemas de ensino e de formação, e possibilitar o aperfeiçoamento de conhecimentos, competências e qualificações técnicas, facilitando a empregabilidade e a participação no mercado de trabalho europeu são os grandes objetivos que têm motivado a FORAVE a manter uma presença regular na Europa através da participação em projetos ERASMUS +.
A concretização destes objetivos só é possível pelo forte sentido de cooperação existente entre pessoas, instituições de ensino e formação e demais entidades da sociedade civil, que transcende fronteiras e se desenvolve a nível europeu desde 2003.
Ao longo de 16 anos, projetos com temas tão diferentes quanto a cultura e tradições europeias, a participação ativa da sociedade no ensino profissional, o racismo e as minorias na educação, o consumismo na adolescência, o abandono dos idosos, a melhoria da qualidade do ensino, o bullying, a utilização das TIC nas escolas, as expectativas para o futuro, a diversidade e multiculturalidade na Europa e a integração no mundo do trabalho têm sido trabalhados em cooperação com escolas, universidades, centros de formação e outras instituições ligadas ao ensino de 25 países europeus, mas também com o forte apoio por parte de parceiros, associações, empresas e autarquia locais, que, pretendendo acompanhar este espírito europeu, têm colaborado na concretização de trabalhos, reuniões, atividades e demonstrado disponibilidade e interesse pelos temas dos projetos.
Os projetos desenvolvidos pela FORAVE, quer como escola coordenadora, quer como escola parceira, possibilitam assim a realização de programas de intercâmbio, estágios e formação profissional, envolvendo os seus alunos e staff em trabalho colaborativo a nível europeu, permitindo o desenvolvimento de competências, no domínio do multilinguismo e do desenvolvimento profissional, pessoal e social, fazendo da FORAVE uma escola de dimensão Europeia, comprometida na participação de uma cidadania global com a consciência responsável da importância da multiculturalidade e do respeito pela diversidade.
STEM Education: from school to a tech world ERASMUS + KA 2 - Cooperation among organisations and institutions / KA210 – Small-scale Partnerships in school education REFERENCE: 2021-1-PT01-KA210-SCH-00048189 PROJECT SUMMARY STEM skills are an increasingly important part of basic literacy in today’s knowledge-oriented society. Europe needs more scientists and science-aware citizens but it continues to face a low number of students interested in studying or pursuing a career in the STEM field. According to an OECD research, pupils see STEM as boring, not related with real life and hard to study. And, as the same research shows, teachers are the main factor which influences choosing STEM related professions. Europe’s future heavily relies on technology and related sciences. As a result, the next decades will witness an increasing demand for people with relevant skills to meet this challenge. In the field of education, Europe is therefore facing the urgent need of attracting enough people interested in science (S), technology (T), engineering (E) and mathematics (M) related fields of study and subsequent professions. The STEM approach for learning and teaching encourages the blending of knowledge that is required in the real world and natural curiosity. It promotes cross-cutting, ‘transversal’ skills such as digital skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, management, team work and entrepreneurship. It also promotes cooperation with non-academic partners and responds to economic, environmental, political and social challenges. With our project, the project partners will cooperate with high education institutions and representatives from the world of work to promote students´ interest and excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Partners will develop and implement teaching materials based on real experience, practical knowledge and schools’ best practices.

The advancement of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation and new forms of work and work organisation, has wide-ranging economic and societal implications now and in the future. At the same time, the shift towards more sustainable and green economies is reshaping labour market demand and supply.

The aim of the project is to adjust vocational education in the field of mechatronics with the labour market in the context of the growing Industry 4.0. Rapid technological and digital progress requires the acquisition of new skills and competencies to work in such an environment. The project seeks to develop key competencies needed for students’ active participation in the labour market after graduation. There are several categories of project activities that will be carried out: PROJECT START DATE: 1 November 2021 PROJECT END DATE: 31 October 2023 DURATION: 24 months COORDINATOR: Electromechanical School Varaždin PROJECT MEETINGS: Croatia, Poland, Portugal, Estonia STAFF MOBILITIES: 10 PROJECT WEBSITE: ess.hr We-R-Open: An educational approach for digital upskilling of Teaching, Managerial and Administrative staff of VET Schools ERASMUS + KA 2 - Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices / KA226 - Partnerships for Digital Education Readiness REFERENCE: 2020-1-PT01-KA226-VET-094771 The central aim of this project is to contribute to the digital transformation of the whole range of VET services to cope with unprecedented needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic, at the same time boosting the entrance of VET institutions and staff in the digital era. We-R-Open will achieve this aim by developing an online set of learning resources to support the digital transformation of VET courses as well as a training course for VET administrative/support and back office staff to help them developing digital skills for communicating with students, companies hosting apprentices, training staff, parents, for supporting e-learning process and for undertaking from distance their everyday work. The project aims at developing these skills through joining deep knowledge and expertise on both the VET sector needs and on the development of digital learning and tools of six institutions coming from five European countries. More specifically, “We-R-Open: An educational approach for digital upskilling of Teaching, Managerial and Administrative staff of VET Schools” will produce two core intellectual outputs an “Online VET classrooms” online Toolkit and a ”We-R-Open” Course for Administrative/Support and Back Office Staff.

At the same time, a growing variety of technical and cognitive skills, known as ‘digital literacy’, is required from the younger generations to perform tasks and solve problems in digital environments and in everyday life. Education needs to comply with the new employability demands and prepare high-skilled future citizens. The “SHAPE the future teacher” project will focus on the need for incorporating digital literacy into the school curriculum through learning scenarios developed, evaluated and disseminated by all the partners in a bilingual way. It will be applied into a wide and diverse range of fields of studies highly connected with increasing the employability chances of the future citizens while investing in European citizenship. More specifically it will be applied in STEM, Entrepreneurship, Cultural Heritage, Citizenship and Environmental Education. The basis of our cooperation is set on the experimentation with innovative technology and the integration of our outcomes into school curriculum, teaching and learning processes. We will focus on creating 3 learning scenarios per school for the above educational fields, applied in a bilingual system. Through carefully selected activities we will motivate our students to learn in a different way, certainly more active. Each scenario will include detailed steps for certain educational purposes and specific learning objectives and will be supported by relevant notes about the main learning theories (behaviour, constructivism and social development theories) and the models of integrating the ICT tools into the learning process. The final collection of the learning scenarios will be available for educational use through an online resource platform, called “Scenario resource platform”. Finally, we will create a network of educational organizations across Europe with which we have working ties and share the learning scenarios with them. It will be an online resource platform with shared resource material with possibilities for further development.

The Future of the Jobs vs the Jobs of the Future PROJECT ACRONYM: --- ERASMUS + KA 2 - Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices/ KA202 - Strategic Partnerships for vocational education and training REFERENCE: 2019-1-HU01-KA202_06896 Schools taking part in the project have to cope with the same problems, a challenging economic situation. In vocational training, some students are under motivated, they drop out school too early, and they do not have any plans for the future. In our changing world, the labour market requires more-educated workers with up-to-date knowledge. New professions are required in many fields of economy, and schools have to follow the new trends to follow the requirements and needs of companies, or employers. Most organisations are facing the same challenge of demand for high-level qualifications in EU, so we try to renew the vocational education according to the needs of the domestic and international job market. This should answer the demand of high-qualified teachers and professionals at schools and other institutions to provide enough well qualified workers. The main aim of vocational education is to prepare students for the future, as we want to give them such education and professional knowledge that will help them to be successful both in the national and international labour market. At the end of the project, we will compile a book with good practices which will be published in paper form and online both in English and in the mother language of the participant countries. The content of this publication will be the good practices and methods collected during the project implementation including the following topics: PROJECT START DATE: 1 September 2019 PROJECT END DATE: 31 August 2021 DURATION: 24 months COORDINATOR: Nyíregyházi Szakképzési Centrum (Hungary) PROJECT MEETINGS: Hungary, Greece, Norway, Portugal, Italy, Spain STAFF MOBILITIES: -- PROJECT WEBSITE: https://futurevsjobs.weebly.com/
