"By signing the commitment to take into account existing projects, good practices, new trends and possible scenarios that are emerging, the project responds to the request for a change in education and focuses its mission on improving the ecosystem of VET as a tool for social and cultural change.The project responds to two priorities that are closely intertwined: the professional development of teachers, trainers and tutors in the field of vocational training and social inclusion, in a perspective that considers the professionalism and growth of awareness of the staff teacher indispensable condition for an inclusive educational system for all.The general reference context of the project is the one outlined by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the one established by the European Accessibility Act. From a more specific point of view, the project context refers to the principles promoted by the Agency for Inclusive Education Systems and to the specific activities carried out by the Agency in this area.Enhancing, in particular, the results of two initiatives carried out by the Agency (""Education and vocational training: policies and practices in the field of education for special needs"" and ""ICT4IAL"" - Guidelines for accessible information) the project is to identify and implement - starting from the reference context that characterises each single partner organisation - strategies and concrete methods for the application of the principles of accessible information and training.The project has the primary purpose of compiling, evaluating and putting into practice, in a process of co-construction of content that will involve both the main target group and the final beneficiaries, a Declaration of intent on accessibility, as a reference document for the promotion and application of accessibility policies in the educational context and, above all, in the production of information and educational materials.The concept of the project stems from the particular attention of the leader in relation to the issues related to accessibility of communication, from a collective reflection on these issues and from an internal self-evaluation research conducted by each individual partner. Through the self-assessment process, we have analysed the following elements characterising the information and training profile - regarding the digital materials available online - of the partner organisations:1. standard of accessibility of the website of each organisation (the websites have been evaluated using the WAVE Web Accessibility evaluation tool);2. standard of accessibility of a sample of documents issued on the website by each partner (pdf, word, PowerPoint, video, etc.)The collected data provided an updated profile on the accessibility level of the online educational materials of each organisation and, even if not exhaustive, show that most of the tools presented are not accessible or only partially accessible. Furthermore, the self-assessment has shown that none of the partner organisations has an official Accessibility Statement or a Declaration of Commitment. In line with priorities and objectives, the project affirms a ""user-involved"" and ""user-centred"" approach and includes the direct involvement of people belonging to the priority target group, and of people with disabilities and special educational needs, in their role of end users.the entire staff of each organisation will be asked to respond to a questionnaire for the precise definition of the status quo on the subject within the individual organisations. Some, among these people, selected on the basis of criteria such as: competence, interest, previous experiences, etc. they will participate in a series of transversal meetings aimed at co-designing and implementing the final document. These meetings will also include a representation of people with disabilities and special educational needsIn summary, the applied methodology consists of the following phases:design and implementation of an internal questionnaire,analysis of collected data and implementation of a final reportplanning and implementation of a series of co-planning meetingsprocessing of the final documentevaluation of the documentcreation of a specific medium-term follow-up documentpromotion of the document within each organisationpresentation of the document to political decision-makers with a local and regional profile.After the closure of the project, after about six months the partners will measure the results achieved: the data collected will be analysed collectively to verify their strengths and weaknesses in a perspective of strengthening and widening the activities."

Living in the era of digital technologies rapid development and taking over the traditional ways of teaching and learning the best approach for a modern VET school is to adapt quickly and create corresponding educational environment equipped with digital resources. This Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership for Innovation objective is to create an in depth and thorough Online picture dictionary for the EU car mechanics (Clipping: Car Mechanic's Pictionary). The Car Mechanics' Pictionary will contribute to car mechanics' skills upscaling and professional English language fluency fostering and will be reachable on a laptop, smartphone or any other digital device that is connected to the Internet. There are 6 European educational organizations from 5 countries in the creators’ team: 5 of VET sector and 1 of HE sector. The chosen language of the Car Mechanics' Pictionary is lingua franca - the English language. The Resource will correspond with the current needs of the EU Car mechanics sector community for easily accessible speciality's database of English terms, car mechanics' tool names, car part names and systems names which are supported with a real life photo. Such a free of charge Online picture dictionary for car mechanics containing a large and systematically grouped amount of information in one place is a unique endeavor in the sector as it will cover a vast number of vocabulary items. This will create added value for professionalism increase in a wide range of VET educational establishments and among individuals. The professional community of car mechanics VET sector and transport sector as a whole is now lacking digital up-to-date material of such wide scope that would be appealing (visual, user friendly, free) and professional at the same time. The Online picture dictionary for car mechanics will fill in the current gap of similar tools within the sector. It is given, that a feature of a highly trained car mechanic in a modern day Europe is ability to read and use diagnostic equipment and its data, use other professional resources in foreign languages -statistically most often - English. Fundamental knowledge for a professional car mechanic is - knowing the terms, tools and mechanical parts in their native, but not less importantly - in the English language. The best approach to answer the need of such primary goal of every car mechanic is a professional picture (photograph) dictionary. A Car Mechanics' Pictionary that will be created as a joint effort of the multinational team of European car mechanics teachers and professors will be clear, precise and giving a user an adequate answer to their search in the provided visualized database. The created Car Mechanics' Pictionary will contribute to open and distance learning as well, since it will not be limited to certain location or institutions. This feature of a material proves vital in many modern life situations and 2020 events with COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent distance learning is one such proof. The Car Mechanics' Pictionary will be used for purposes of learning, knowledge updating and verification both in the process of learning in VET, often in HE, preparing for labour market and in a routine process of work within the transport sector. In addition, the Resource will be suitable for continuous learning of learners of all ages. The Online picture dictionary will contain photos of objects instead of animated version of them. This approach will be more practical, focused on hands-on work of car mechanics with diagnostics, changing car parts and repairing cars. Each vocabulary item will be supported by 1 or more photos depending on the practical need in every case. The Resource will have an enabled search engine by the term and by the letter of alphabet. The Car Mechanics' Pictionary will include such major content parts: Engine, Car Electronics, Transmission, Cassis, Brakes system + ABS, Tools for car mechanics, Hybrid and Electric cars specific terms and vocabulary, Car body types, Car interior, Car exterior, Automobile comfort. The whole capacity of the Online picture dictionary for EU car mechanics will be within the range of 7200 - 7800 vocabulary items - an unprecedented capacity of any Dictionary for car mechanics.The international aspect of this Resource creation will provide extra value as it gives the outlook of various national experiences and the wider European context avoiding the risks of being too one nation specific. Online picture dictionary for the EU car mechanics will come into being through a number of face to face transnational meetings of creators' teams, discussions, continuous peer-reviewing and monitoring to achieve the highest standard of the educational-professional Material for wide public of Europeans in the Transport sector. As a result of its quality and professionalism, Car Mechanic's Pictionary strives to become a must-have for every car mechanic in Europe.

The project wants to study and propose sustainable lifestyle products based on innovation, competitiveness and sustainability. Also we’d like to show the importance of new work formulas based on collaborative economy. Sustainable lifestyle concepts are an important way for using and employing our partner’s European territory with ist natural potential and its cultural traditional heritage based on a sustainable development and for the advantage of every European citizen. With this project work we want to make our students aware about those common values and developing a responsible and willing behaviour for respecting and preserving those common goods and taking advantage of them for the future.Our selected students are concerned about the consequences of environmental problems on our daily life and interested in sustainable development of local environment and a responsible way of living. As for the general methodology the students will work in collaborative international groups of students in order to investigate on the European dimension of education. By widening their knowledge about the importance of youth participation all project members will gain knowledge on how to encourage young people to be active and promote active citizenship through sustainability.By developing ideas on how to increase an interest in sustainable lifestyle concepts among local communities we will gain new knowledge on the development for local communities.Finally, our project products serve to share experience and best practices in creating topic related projects. With the activities planned we intend to give value to the respective resources of each territory from the educational and economic point of view. In the long run, with our project, we aim at fostering the innovational sense of the younger generations as our new insights, achieved by this project, will create an important concern for using and employing each country‘s great potential based on the principle of sustainable development and for the advantage of every European citizen. Education of young people must refer to make them aware about those common values.Thanks to the various mobilities and the resulting collaboration, our students will increase their awareness of the need to develop a responsible and willing behaviour for respecting and preserving those common goods and capitalizing them for the future through sustainable thinking.A key focus of the project is to develop a synergy between sustainable strategies and environmental education and to implement the results into youth life using the context of sustainable lifestyle. Upon completion of the project a framework to do this will exist. The framework will consist of defined pedagogical processes within sustainable approach. This framework will have utility as an extension of the existing project for future participant schools not directly involved in this project. In addition the framework will be transferable for collaborative studies of other environmental issues at local, regional, national or international level. Students and staff will use the learning and teaching outcomes generated by the project to enhance their own work in this field by using the project outcomes as template for their own work and private life to hopefully change their mind and way of living into an eco-friendlier manner. Students who are not directly involved into the project but who are concerned regarding sustainability, e.g. in the research lab of our school, will be informed by the students of the project. Students directly involved in the mobilities will gain to create insight by experience into global environmental issues and conservation measures which exist in response to these issues.
