Teleki Blanka Secondary Grammar School of Economics, Budapest, Hungary is member of Budapest Vocational Training Centre for Economics (BGSZC), together with 20 other institutions, and trains future professionals in logistics and economics. Ludwig-Erhard-Schule Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg Germany offers education to more than 1600 students in economics, with different programmes in trade, health care, and foreign languages. The institution represents a wide range of practices in the development of intercultural competence due to its intercultural groups of students. This deep knowledge is of special interest for the Hungarian Teleki Blanka Secondary School. The two schools have been operating school exchanges for about two decades, during these years many friendships have been made which facts result strong support and excellent cooperation in educational projects. The main goal of our project proposal is to adapt methodology and good practices of intercultural education in our institutions by widening the field of education through international relationships and integrating a wide variety of educational cooperation into our training programme. Furthermore, we aim to strengthen the motivation for language learning which is necessary for taking part in international educational projects and reaching multilingualism for the students of our institution. Our proposal involves programmes which enhance students to experience and appreciate our common European cultural heritage. In the autumn of 2018 and spring of 2019 participants of the project visit Pforzheim and Budapest and take part in intercultural programmes and workshop activities. By discovering common features and experiencing diversity students’ cultural awareness will be developed. The project also helps to form more tolerant behaviour, which is of exceptional importance in today’s and future Europe. In the project, involving 4 teachers and 36 students from both schools, the teachers’ expertise and long good relationship, furthermore the students’ interest and motivation are the guarantee for the planned outcome. Both mobility activities result different types of project products (collection of practices for development of intercultural competence, student products such as films, materials of a photoexhibition, presentations, etc.), which will be shared with the public, teachers, schoolmates, parents, stakeholders of the schools. This way the participants’ joy and experience may motivate more people to find the ways of mutual understanding and constructive cooperation with different nations within our diverse world.
