LOCAL SOLUTIONS FOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES

Description

The project starts from the current economic worldwide situation to provide the necessity to develop school programmes based on entrepreneurial skills. Today, Globalisation and Glocalisation represent a relational model oriented towards the cooperation among cultures with the scope to preserve local identities into global economic process. Many students leave the school with a low or inexistent knowledge in the entrepreneurial field and the teachers are often without competences. Moreover, we can register a low interest about the entrepreneurial education (Eurydice Report 2016) even though the directives established by the Entrepreneurship Action Plan 2020 and the three Europe 2020 key initiatives (innovation union, youth on the move, new skills for new jobs), which support the creativity and innovation, including the entrepreneurship at all levels of education. The results of a survey given into the Etwinning group “Globalisation and local identity” to know the level of students and teachers’ familiarity about Global-Glocalisation, highlighted that our students and teachers coming from 6 EU partner country (Italy, Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Spain and Portugal) don’t know what Glocalisation is (73%), how to build a firm (56%), least of all received training (65%) on the topic within the school. Moreover, students have the problem to leave their city/country to find a job after their high school leaving qualifications (41%). OBJECTIVES: In order to sustain these needs, and through the upgrading of teachers’ professional competences, the project wants to implement the students’ entrepreneurial competences developing multicriterial skills and an active citizenship. The direct target group is formed by 384 students (aged 15-18 years) and 48 teachers with low skills on entrepreneurial field, working as teams with local companies, stakeholders and experts in the field. Our project will learn to 348 students how to create a firm and will prepare 48 teachers for the subject matter. Moreover, several thousands of teachers and students will be indirect participants and users of our project results. Other aims are: 1) the implementation of a partnership among training and real companies; 2) the implementation of the collaborative learning and critical thinking among all actors; 3) the development of communication skills in a foreign language;4) the development of an active European citizenship. METHODOLOGIES AND MANAGEMENT: the experience will be developed by “Cooperative Learning” and “Learning by doing” methodology; moreover, the project will be carried out using the teamwork, workshops, roleplay, visits, and case studies. The management of the project consists in monitoring, evaluating, reporting and archiving, financial and accounting activities, as well as informative, promotional and advertising activities for its dissemination. The partnership will be employed in joint staff training events for teachers and project work for students. ACTIVITIES WE PLAN: A) Entrepreneurial Lab (ELab) in each school partners, where students and teachers meet experts to receive knowledge and tools to develop their firms; B) Implementation of a Cross-Regional Thematic Network (CReTNet) within the partnership to improve key-competences; C) Movie, Project Logo, until 12 Training Firms, and eCommerce portal; D) EXPO made during the Inca’s fair where students and teachers will participate to promote their products; E) Tours/Trails, Posters, Twin Space site, online-school magazine, Website, Facebook-Instagramm-Youtube account, eBook of the project, Booklet/guide about how to set a business in Europe, and participation to UN World Day. RESULTS AND IMPACT FOR STUDENTS: we have the development of their entrepreneurial capacities-increased sense of initiative and entrepreneurship; to improve their language and digital skills; the development students’ personality through engaging the soft skills into project activities; for more favourable attitude in taking initiative and risks; a better understanding and recognition of European competences and qualifications.RESULTS AND IMPACT FOR TEACHERS/SCHOOL STAFF: the increase of the professional development opportunities, motivation and satisfaction in daily jobs; the development of pedagogical, planning and project management competences; the improvement of the image through the promotion of the school at European level; the diminishing of the students’ school failure and the increment of their motivation and relationships. RESULT AND IMPACT FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY: the contribute to the decreasing of unemployment rate at the teenager’s level, to increase the quality of education at local level, and more interaction between firms and school programmes. As concerns the benefit in the long term we have effects between school offer and demands of job. Another aspect regards the importance that school has in the education of students, and its role in the society as agent of the change.
