This project seeks to enhance long term development strategies regarding the needs of young European citizens in secondary schools and allow them to choose a suitable career path to make the right career choices. In the context of growing unemployment rates nowadays, graduate students are facing difficulties in their attempt to find jobs in accordance with their interests, abilities, skills or personality traits. We attempt to give our pupils the benefits that offer a well-developed professional and academic education. Young people are thus encouraged to become more aware of their potential and provide access to information regarding the overall economic environment on the European labour market. Moreover, by taking part in LTTAs, they will experience first hand family life and culture by staying in host families, giving them a real life focus and purpose for their project work. These transnational activities will be intensive working time and highlights in our partnership, presenting and evaluating results. Project objectives can be summarized as follows: - to improve students' basic entrepreneurship skills and lower labour market segmentation -to provide opportunities for students to connect to the labour market, local/regional/European institutions or private companies with the same purpose -to empower students with necessary abilities so as to examine their own marketability - to raise participants' flexibility and align to lifelong learning concept for flexible career options - to provide various circumstances for participants to acquire knowledge and a deeper understanding of the cultural and linguistic diversity across Europe The partnership methodology relies mainly on the exchange of experience and good practices. The international character of the project stimulates and builds professionalism concerning synergies among partner schools sharing the common aim to achieve transition from school to work and consequently reduce segmentation in the labour market. Participants will benefit from the expertise of professionals and the beneficiaries' associated partners. Through a constructivist approach, adults will assist students to transfer the information and apply it to a modern and dynamic school environment. The project will last for two years and throughout its life cycle, we planned one transnational project meeting attended by project coordinators to assess the project and four Learning/Teaching/Training Activities. We estimate that about 2000 people will benefit from the project, both directly and indirectly. The working programme during LTTAs will include lesson observations, exchange of good practices in the Italian school (Effective connections between school and Labour Market in Italy) and Romanian school (Creating the training firms as real firms - Mock Companies). The practical and workable applications will be integrated into project activities and in the second year all partners will apply two similar practices in their school curriculum. Professionals in the entrepreneurial area will lead seminars on the topic of bridging the gap between school and labour market. The teachers' roles will be both of instructors and beneficiaries by observing other schools and their education systems. The project teams will consist of 5 teachers in each partner organization so 25 in total will be actively engaged in project activities. Approximately 150 teachers/adults will indirectly influenced. At least 15 members from the labour market will be involved in the project in all schools. Approximately 30% of our pupils and target groups will report a positive experience following project activities. Students will develop basic entrepreneurship skills through providing direct opportunities to connect to the labour market, support a meaningful context for students to develop interpersonal, communication skills in mother tongue and foreign languages. The teachers in partner schools will share and exchange ideas, pedagogical and methodological resources, observe lessons during LTTAs, learn about the inclusive approach and thus create a more effective learning and teaching process. Moreover, they are expected to develop their mother tongue and foreign language communication, project management and negotiation, teamwork skills. The project will promote cooperation between schools, schools and labour markets, fostering the exchange of ideas and pedagogical approaches leading to the creation of a trans-national network, increasing the schools' European dimension and reputation in community. Thereupon, partner schools involved will manage to create an inclusive educational environment which will help participants achieve their full potential To conclude, due to this international cooperation, participant will be better equipped to respond the challenges on the labour market in today's globalized world.
