PROJECT DESCRIPTIONIn previous years, two partner organizations (Brandenburgische Sportjugend imLandessportbund Brandenburg e.V. from Germany and Everything is Possible from

United Kingdom) of the current project worked together in order to develop a

variety of good practice in Vocational Education and Training (VET) for trainees with

a background of social obstacles and in order to offer them different vocational and

pre-vocational opportunities. Through this past cooperation they already investigated

the support needs of such a target group in accessing VET abroad and, through joint

working, discovered the obstacles preventing them accessing VET. As a result

Leonardo pathway passport (booklet) was produced which would support the

target group in their access to international VET and travel throughout their VETexperience.

This new partnership through project Effective Inclusion, starting in September 2011

and finishing in August 2013, has involved a new partner organization Gantalcala

from Spain. Partners agreed to develop Guidelines for Sending and HostingOrganizations of trainees with fewer opportunities. The focus was to define commonstandards for the organizations in order to provide quality support for trainees and

tackle specific challenges and problems. Also, recommendations and suggestions were

gathered through sharing of good practice examples between the partnerorganizations. It was decided to investigate and improve VET-opportunities available

to this target group in each of the partner areas and endeavor to develop a better

service for these learners with fewer opportunities. The partnership was used to define

for hosting and sending organizations the support that is necessary to give to the

target group in order to make the VET opportunities more successful for each of the

involved. Even if all the partners are experienced in working with the target group

there is nevertheless a different approach of working in the international context.

The purpose of this Vocational Education and Training (VET) opportunities Catalogueis to collect the descriptions of potential VET opportunities and learning possibilities

for trainees in partner countries. Organizations chose their own design, font and

formatting for the description of the traineeship. The amount and content of the

information could vary dependent on the traineeship. Nevertheless, some basic

information was included in all of the descriptions of the traineeship. For this reason,

the special form had to be followed when preparing descriptions of the traineeships.

support young people with fewer opportunities. Our organization was set up to support

the most excluded young people, such as homeless young people, those with drug &

alcohol problems, those in prison, young people with no education or excluded from

school, individuals with a history of mental health, black & minority ethnic groups, those

who have been through the system of local authority care and young parents. We

specialize in offering international mobility experiences to young people with less

this target group. We run formal and informal courses on European citizenship &

intercultural awareness for young people, in various settings including prisons, youth

centres, schools & non-formal education centers. Our current aims and the work we have

done over the last few years have allowed us to work with more & more marginalized

represents the multicultural community it serves and is made up of children from many ethnic, cultural,

religious and social backgrounds. This diversity plays an important part in making Roundhay St John's

School C.E Primary School a special place for both children and adults. Roundhay St John's School C.EPrimary School's main objective is to develop children mentally, physically and spiritually through the

provision of an excellent and enjoyable curriculum. It is an inclusive school that nurtures the individual,

helps the children grow and encourages the pupils to make a positive contribution to the community. As

the school is developing its global awareness and has recently received the full International Schools

Award, hosting an overseas trainee very much fits into its ethos of increasing children's knowledge of

the wider world around them.

The trainees will be fully integrated into the daily practice of the school setting. They will work alongside

the teaching staff in several years groups (from nursery to year 6) and will be asked to support children,

as well as, to organize various sports and artistic activities. The trainees will learn to evaluate what a

child is doing, how the child should progress, as well as, to adapt their approach to the children's needs,

interest and abilities. They will also learn to assist the children who need extra support in Literacy and

Mathematics, to prepare lesson plans and deliver sports and Artistic sessions. Moreover, they will

support activities at break and lunch time in the dining room and playfield.

We also like to give the trainees opportunities to undertake personal projects. We are particularly keen

to develop cultural awareness within our curriculum and would certainly be happy for the trainee to talk

to the children about their own country and culture and perhaps teach some basic language. We would

offer the trainee the opportunity to develop thematic topics to deliver either across the whole school or

specifically in reception class, topics could include international festivals, information on home country

or set up of a mail exchange involving pupils from Rounday school and pupils from a school located in

the country from which the trainees come . All trainees will be insured for the period of traineeship and

always supported by mentor.

Bradford Foyer


WORK WITH YOUTH?

SOCIAL WORK?

EDUCATION?

GROUP LEADERSHIP?

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES?


Bradford Foyer, one of over 100 nationwide, supports young people aged 16-25 who, for a number of

reasons, are unable to live at home, bridge the gap between leaving home and becoming successful and

confident adult members of society. Bradford Foyer aims to help young people make the transition to

independence in a planned way and at a pace suited to their individual development. Young people

benefit from the 'campus style' environment, which provides safe, secure and modern accommodation

and a Foyer community that supports them to develop social skills and build friendships with other

young people from a variety of backgrounds. Bradford Foyer achieves this by providing youth withaccess to supported accommodation with a range of integrated facilities and support services -

education and vocational guidance; skills training; links with employers and work training placements in

their local community and in other European countries. Bradford Foyers hope for each young person

who comes to live and learn there, is that they start to believe that they have much to give to their City

and that in return, they will be part of the success of the regeneration of the City of Bradford.


26/26


There are two activities for trainees either working directly with residents, supporting them in general

Foyer/community work, such as budgeting skills and preparation for independent living or working in

the Foyer Media centre where young people will be engaged in radio & film activity. Part of the time will

be spent on these core activities, the rest of the time will be spent on community activities such as

supporting education programmes in the National Media Museum or in local schools running media

diplomas with Bradford Foyer & college staff. All the activities on this project will focus on social

inclusion. The trainees will be fully integrated into the daily practice of our setting. They will be working

with young people and will be able to try different activities. It offers the trainee excellent opportunities

for cultural exploration, arts, music, sport and social work. We also like to give the trainees

opportunities to undertake personal projects. We are particularly keen to develop cultural awareness

within our curriculum and would certainly be happy for the trainee to talk to the youth about their own

country and culture and perhaps teach some basic language. All the trainees will be insured for the

period of traineeship and always supported by mentor.
