The name of the project is ‘Career without borders' and it addresses secondary students aged 15-19 from the following countries: Poland, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus and Latvia. All the countries are facing similar problems. The participants agree that their countries struggle with a growing number of young graduates unable to succeed in the labour market. The long-term objectives of the project are based on the outcomes of distributed online and analysed questionnaires among all participating schools (teachers and students). (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zjNMXEHJlsyrYDBoHe0MHwfQ6f5T2y9JAKgdjPsmu1o/edit, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PteIRnGsXIgyUIZX1A_XBiuUWscKU_R8LJSsBPvLYNY/edit) We believe we can benefit from each other, because every partner country can support the others with great knowledge and experience. We've already started theTwinning project to share our examples of good practices.The main objective of the project is to develop employability skills and competences which are essential for successful professional and personal life in the EU, and which are often neglected in formal education and thus we would like to make a bridge between educational system and the world of work, to modernize education systems. We want to teach young people studying different courses how to overcome fears and doubts facing their future career, how to start their own companies that might operate on global market and help them to gain all the necessary competences (social, cultural, foreign language, ICT). We also wish the teachers would improve their competences in teaching employability and ICT skills and also their foreign language competences.The goal of the project is to create workshops and activities on Moodle Platform. The participants of the project are going to prepare them and try them out in order to offer them to other European schools and then to integrate them into the school curricula.The project comprises of one short-term joint staff training in Poland and four short-term students’ exchanges in Italy, Cyprus, Portugal and Latvia. The teachers’ meeting in Poland will involve the teachers’ training in Moodle platform and other ICT tools and exchange of good practices teaching employability skills. During this event teachers will also create workshop activities for future students' exchanges. At each students’ mobility we will hold workshops on given subtopics. They will be: Communication skills, Cooperation, Setting up a business and Solving problems. Before the exchanges of students each country will be responsible for creating their own modules on Moodle platform. Modules will consist of tutorials, presentations, interactive activities, worksheets, self-assessment tests and many others that will be later available to students, teachers and public not only in participating countries but worldwide. Through implementing innovative approach – using advanced technology, activities via Moodle, concepts of blended learning and flipped classroom, introducing methods to improve teaching and learning languages: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), we will be able to deliver all the necessary skills and competences. Between the exchanges, apart from Moodle activities, teachers will arrange visits to firms and institutions where students will explore how important employability skills are in real surroundings (interviews with employers and employees, doing research). The tangible result of the project will be workshops and learning activities on Moodle platform, presentations, project posters and brochures, evaluation reports, an eTwinning group. To promote and disseminate the results of the project we will do a lot of local activities (press articles, social media postings, web pages) and we will also organise local events where local authorities, parents, school community etc. will be invited.We are certain the project will make an impact on participating schools, teachers’ methodology competences, ICT and foreign language skills and students’ future careers and their competences needed for future work life. New forms of work will be started not only in partner schools but in other schools too. The project should also develop students’ global skills since it will be carried out in multinational surroundings and it should enable them to work in multinational environment in the future. Other European schools should benefit since it will serve as an open source learning platform and thus ensure its long-term sustainability . All participating countries plan to share the project outcomes in other projects and cooperation on different platforms, such as eTwinning and other programmes of European Union.

The name of our project was Ready,steady,work! and it addressed secondary school students aged 15-18 from the following countries:Croatia,Greece,Luxembourg,Poland and Spain.The main objective of our project was to create a handbook called 'Employability Skills Schoolkit' and to try it out in order to offer it to other European schools to develop students' employability skills(personal,people and workplace skills) through workshops and teaching activities because these skills are neglected in formal education and to make a bridge between educational system and world of work.The project consisted of two transnational project meetings( at the beginning and end of the project),one short-term joint staff training event and three short-term student exchanges.Through local activities and during short-term exchanges teachers and students created and tried out the produced materials.At the teachers' mobility teachers got familiar with teaching of Employability skills in the Luxembourg partner school and they created materials for future student exchanges.At each student exchange a workshop was held with students on a given subtopic (the mobility subtopics were Leadership,Teamwork,Communication skills).Throughout the project teachers from different partner countries created 13 lesson plans on a given subtopic and other partner countries taught these subtopics in their countries(Employability skills in general, Problem-solving,Initiative,Planning and organising,Presentation skills,Decision-making,Creativity,Time management, Negotiating, Confidence,Flexibility/Adaptability,Integrity and Risk-taking).After each lesson and after each workshop in a host country students (after coming back home)organised lessons and workshops for other students of their school and tried to share their newly-acquired knowledge with others(peer learning).During each mobility and during local activities students visited a firm or an institution to explore how important employability skills are in real life surroundings(interviews with employers, round tables with employees and employers,doing research etc.). At each student exchange students created a brochure of the project subtopic to show what they have learned.Also, throughout the project students engaged in practical activities in order to practice what they have learned in theory about employability skills(e.g.role-plays,initiating school projects,organising fairs,volunteering...)The tangible results of the project are the following: project website, 13 lesson plans and 3 workshops on different subtopics, which were compiled in Employability Skills Schoolkit at the end of the project,three brochures on main subtopics ,students' presentations,project timelines,general project posters and brochures,evaluation reports, project logo,eTwinning page...The project made an impact on participating schools, teachers' methodology competences,ICT and foreign languages skills and students' future careers and their competences needed for future work life.New forms of work were started not only in partner schools but in other schools too. The project also developed students' global skills since it was carried out in a multinational surroundings and it enabled them to work in multinational environments in the future. Other European schools will benefit from our final and main result,namely 'Emloyability Skills Schoolkit' since employability skills aren't taught in a systematic way in almost any of the European countries and on the other hand are highly appreciated by future employers.This way European schools are now able to use our kit to teach these skills and enable their students ,as future employees, to successfully participate in the global labour market.Other European schools can find our Emloyability Skills Schoolkit on our eTwinning page and Erasmus+ Dissemination platform.
