EULA
Aims:
- Development of regional, national and European networks of companies, associations, societies and institutions in order to enhance the mobility of young people and to optimize their employment opportunities in a transeuropean context.
- Creating awareness in protagonists from the economy, vocational training institutions and the public sector for the significance of mobility and its integration in the internationalization of vocational training.
- Spreading of the available European means of transparency and quality related to mobility, e.g. ECVET, Europass, charter of quality for mobility.
- Founding and providing access to administrative and logistic competence for companies, especially KMUs, workshops and small businesses, and individuals engaged in teaching and/or vocational training in order to facilitate and promote the mobility of all protagonists involved.
- Contributing to the increase in complementary funds dedicated to mobility.
- Highlighting the enormous significance of mobility and necessity of young people’s participation in the European world of life and employment.
- Allowing the protagonists (KMUs, trainees and other young people, instruction of mobility coaches) to participate in and to increase public awareness of European mobility by experimental model projects.
Concept:
The already existing network of project partners will meet for an initial three-day conference and bring together the available expertise related to mobility, plan the individual stages or work and make further commitments concerning the project. The beneficiaries will act as disseminators in their respective regions and approach all institutions and individuals for whom young people’s mobility is relevant, they will create awareness for the topic. This will take place via information fairs e.g. in vocational schools, small business association meetings, but also as an offer for KMUs and workshops or small businesses. The specific target audience are young people with learning difficulties and disadvantaged young people and the institutions that train and/or work with them. The project and its services will be made publicly known and available by flyers, via the internet and press releases. As a pilot project, a mobility office will be established at Koppelsberg and a mobile mobility office (EUROMOBILE) will be initiated which will be accessible for all interested parties and which will provide professional information about mobility programs and possibilities as well as offering advice and administrative, logistic and financial support for the implementation of mobility projects. Additionally, a model project will train interested members of the target audience to act as mobility coaches (planned: 5 KMUs/institutions and 5 trainees/young people in vocational training per participating country on the basis of the results of the MOBLINT project) who will act as additional regional disseminators and will call for the mobility mobile if there is demand. In case of a positive response and similar experience, further mobility offices in the participating institutions in the course of best practice are envisaged. After 10 months, a further 3-day conference will be held, to facilitate the exchange of experience between all participants and to plan further concrete steps (e.g. application and implementation of mobility projects, extension of partnerships, establishing additional mobility offices). In the following 11 months, the successful applications will be accompanied and evaluated; the insights gained will be used to establish a curriculum for simple and successful filing of applications which will be made available free of charge to all interested parties. A final 3-day conference will present this curriculum to the general public together with all relevant project results.
Expected results:
Significant increase in the mobility of individuals and KMUs, transparency and acceptance concerning European mobility projects, a mobility office at Koppelsberg, a EUROMOBILE, a curriculum for simple and successful filing of applications, enlargement of the network for mobility projects, improvement of training in terms of lifelong learning, increase in job opportunities and competitiveness in the job market, establishment and further development of a positive European identity in all protagonists
