<< Objectives >>The aim of the partnership is to improve behaviour of the participants towards socially responsible behaviour, responsible consumption and the protection of environment. We motivate students and teachers to participate more in the local community and to help vulnerable people. We also support critical thinking of students,in their relation to learning and to their own behaviour. We want to to support modern forms of education based on cooperation and learning by their own activity<< Implementation >>Students are going to implement local activities and prepare outputs. The high spot of each phase is a meeting, where students can confirm and finish their outputs and organise common activities. In the first phase, we focus on the protection of environment, the second on the preservation of regional heritage. The third focus on the human rights and inclusion. We cooperate intensively with external experts and local community, for which many beneficial activities are planned to be implemented.<< Results >>We prepare a guidebook about ecotrips in region, a tutorial of healthy lifestyle as well as bio-diet. Headed by teachers, the students will prepare ideas for upcycling, tutorial about Ecological Christmas, the intention for circulating and shared economics and to propose activities of socially responsible company. We are expecting the improvement of professional, organisational and interpersonal competencies of participants as well as better involvement of the young in local community.

“WE PROTECT EUROPE” The project “WE PROTECT EUROPE” takes up to project called “TOGETHER TO EUROPEAN SOURCES”. We wanted to take part in an intercultural dialogue among the citizens of the EU. As an instrument of the mutual dialogue we have chosen the topic of protecting the natural treasure of Europe. Within the project we mapped the levels of protection of environment in all partner countries, focusing on the micro regions of the partner schools. We evaluated how the protection of environment is involved in the educational programmes of partner schools, which topics are cross-sectional and which are specific for particular partner schools. We enriched the educational programmes of all partner school due to cooperation on innovations and well-established procedures we gain during the project. The important feature of the projetc was promotion and realization of new modern trends in environmental education. Within the project activities we developed sport and hiking activities of students, as prevention to negative events. Project activities deepened the integration processes among the students with specific needs in population. Czech school prepared a visit to Krkonoše national park and organized a competitive exhibition of engaged posters, where a collective engaged poster “WE PROTECT EUROPE” was created. Slovakian school organized a geocaching competition and a visit to Malá Fatra national park. The school undertook electronic interactive presentations of protected areas of partner schools, focusing on national parks. The Polish school organized a project activity “Youths in Nature” involving a visit to Tatra National Park. The school undertook the collective electronic book about protected areas in the micro regions of particular partner schools. The objective groups of the project regarding local, regional, national and international levels are pupils, apprentices, students and educators (teachers and headteachers). An open access to all the materials created within the project is guaranteed. The outcomes of the project were exposed electronically. Each partner school created a link with websites called “WE PROTECT EUROPE” where the access to all the outcomes were presented.

We carried out the project due to the lack of a professional qualification for metal welding, the implementation of distance learning, the license of our school for welding tests according to European standards. An extensive four-language dictionary was also included. The condition for performing the welding test is also the so-called WPS, according to which these tests are passed.By implementing the project, we have achieved the following goals: -modernize vocational education in partner schools by connecting school and practice; -exchange experiences and bring interconnections of educational systems of partner schools; -deepen cooperation in partnerships formed by organizations,-realize the exchange of information, knowledge, insights, and experiences;-create opportunities for expanding cooperation in the future and thus lay the foundations for multilateral partnerships;-strengthen the position of partnerships formed by vocational schools;-create motivational tools for education;-create conditions for the general availability of educational activities and better orientation in their offer;-proposals for educational innovation;-improve the quality of education in the field of metal welding and give it a European dimension;-create common educational materials available online;Teachers of vocational subjects from partner schools were involved in the project, specifically:The Czech Republic: (4)-International welding technologist-International welding practitioner-Translator - expert-ICT specialistGermany: (2)-teacher of metal welding theory-teacher of metal welding practiceSlovakia: (2)-teacher of metal welding theory-teacher of metal welding practiceManagement from each partner school is in charge of managing.20 pupils from each school participated in e-learning in the field of metal welding technology. The top four from each country were to take part in five-day mobility at the end of the project to verify the project's outputs. Due to the impossibility of traveling to the Czech Republic, this mobility did not take place. We extended the project by half a year, however, October and December dates also weren't realized due to the epidemiological situation.Results:O1: ECVET metal welding - to create 3 units of learning outcomes for 3 methods of metal welding (methods 111, 135, and 141) in four languages (Czech, Slovak, German, and English).O2: E-learning - to create an e-learning environment with presentations for online teaching of metal welding technology. It also includes a set of work safety tests. This environment contains 52 presentations + 21 tests.

It is a table in Excel that allows easy sorting.O4: WPS - We have created a set of 3 technological procedures WPS (welding procedure specification) according to the standard ČSN EN ISO 9606-1 in 4 languages for welding tests of pupils from partner schools. These WPS are for methods 135 (in shielding gas), 111 (coated electrode), and 141 (TIG). Weld type FW and position PB. According to these procedures, only the skills of Czech pupils were verified. Pupils from foreign countries couldn't come.We had to ask for an extension of the project. Three events were planned for June 2020 (mobility, international meetings, and international conferences). Due to the current epidemiological situation in Europe, their implementation was not possible. The exams of Czech pupils were successfully supervised under state supervision. The last international meeting took place only online. The final conference, which would significantly contribute to the promotion and dissemination of the project, did not take place due to the impossibility of gathering. Impact and longer-term benefits:-deepening of international cooperation, new impulses for further cooperation- deeper cooperation in the preparation of the ECVET system in the engineering professions-extension of competencies in the creation and implementation of intellectual outputs and definition of graduate competencies following the needs of a practice-improvement of professional knowledge, skills, and experience of project participants in professional subjects,-development of the teacher's personality, integration into a multicultural society,- getting acquainted with modern elements in the field of methodology and didactics of vocational training,-expansion of existing knowledge about education systems in other European countries-expansion of the portfolio by digital materials, which are so required todayOne of the most important priorities of today's society is the preparation and development of human resources. An educated and professionally trained person is the basic source of success. In the age of the internet, anyone interested in new knowledge can get to several information sources
