Erasmus Days at the Sfp ENAC Veneto in Treviso

Erasmus Days have been a regular event at SFP ENAC Veneto in Treviso since 2013, when the school decided to join the mobility projects proposed by ENAC, involving an increasing number of students and accompanying teachers.

This year, the celebrations were held on Friday 16 October at the school theatre, where third-year students were able to learn about and appreciate the Erasmus+ programme thanks to the words and testimonies of Director Michielan, some accompanying teachers (Prof. Antonello and Pavan) and former students (Alessia, Alessandro, Eric, Tommaso), the Erasmus + programme: an unmissable mobility experience which, thanks to European Union funding, will take them on work placements in leading companies in an EU country next summer.

‘Travelling is living, travelling opens your mind, travelling changes you for the better as a person, travelling makes you grow humanly and professionally, travelling makes you independent’ are just some of the ideas that emerged from the passionate speeches of the speakers. We take these maxims to heart and pass them on as good wishes for all the students who, in the coming months, will face the selection process and leave in July.
Good luck: ‘Life is a journey, and those who travel live twice’
(ʿUmar Khayyām, Persian poet and mathematician).

REX VET: finally together in Estonia!

Imagine you are a group of people with a common goal who have been unable to meet to work as a team for over a year and a half.
Think back to all the online meetings you have had, all the connection problems, the overlapping voices, the annoying background noise…

Now imagine finally being able to sit down at a table with these people, look them in the eye and feel their enthusiasm as they talk about their work and the projects they are working on.

This is what happened to the partners of the REX VET project, from beginners to experts in the field of internationalisation. ENAC and its partners from Finland, Estonia, the Netherlands and Spain attended the three-day meeting in Kuressaare, Estonia, from 14 to 17 September.
The last time the consortium had the opportunity to meet in person was before the pandemic in November 2019, during the kick-off meeting in Bilbao, so the joy of being able to work together again in person was immense.

During the meeting in Estonia, the agenda was very tight. During the three working days, the consortium finalised the training modules and created the first open badges. However, the partners also had time to relax and discover Kuressaare and the island of Saaremaa.

Within a month, the consortium will meet in Helsinki, where a training event will take place. On this occasion, more than 20 teachers will participate, putting their international skills to the test with the brand new badges. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore the culture and atmosphere of Helsinki in the polar darkness. The first two days of the event will take place along the Baltic Sea coast, offering the chance to observe Finnish nature, and perhaps even swim in the sea and warm up in a sauna.

The third day will take place at Luovi Vocational College! Participants will also have the opportunity to visit a real Finnish school, famous for its PISA tests. It will be fantastic, for sure. We can’t wait to tell you what happens.

Early School Workers: from Brescia to Berlin

ENAC participated with great enthusiasm in the annual event organised by EfVET, which was held on 26 November 2021 in Berlin.

During the round tables, the Early School Workers project was presented, which supports the renewal of the vocational training system in Europe with the ultimate goal of tackling the problem of early school leaving and increasing the employability of young people in society.

After presenting the project and its objectives, project coordinator Luca Calligaro presented the results achieved in recent years, summarising the expected intellectual outputs.

Furthermore, on 29 November, ENAC took part in the event “Competenze, giovani e territorio” (Skills, young people and the local area) at the Brescia campus of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.

The event was an opportunity to present the results of the Early School Workers project to education science students at the Brescia university.

It was also essential to reflect on how schools need to become more flexible in order to equip young people with the key skills that will transform them into active citizens and that will also be useful for entering a constantly evolving world of work.

A new beginning for ENAC: 3-H Project (Head, Heart, Hand)

ENAC was one of 65 organisations to obtain approval for a new European project entitled 3-H Project (Head, Heart, Hand).

The main aim of the project will be to tackle the problem of the high number of young people in vocational education and training who are demotivated or unhappy at school, a problem that has been exacerbated by the pandemic.

Tools, methodologies and, above all, an improvement in teachers’ skills in motivating and promoting “well-being at school” are needed, which is essential for managing and preventing early dropout.

Starting from these premises, the 3-H project focuses on socio-emotional aspects, i.e. the development of practices to promote MOTIVATION and WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS AT SCHOOL.

Specifically, the project will focus on:

Developing knowledge and methodologies to enable teachers to work on socio-emotional aspects

Outlining a strong model of reception, dedicated to the first months of students’ entry into vocational education and training courses

Developing/adopting good practices that promote students’ well-being at school (from reception onwards) and motivate students

Developing meaningful project-based learning experiences jointly between teachers and pilot class groups from various European VET centres, so that students and teachers have new opportunities to connect with each other, develop socio-emotional skills and learn content in an authentic and contextualised way.

An international November for the CMC in Trento

November was marked by internationalisation for the CMC in Trento. Two major international projects were carried out, designed and developed with the support of ENAC.

Erasmus+ call for proposals in collaboration with Medien College Berlin

The first mobility programmes abroad for 2022 are also beginning to take shape! This time, six students from CMC Trento have been selected to take part in the ENAC+ 2 programme. The mobility experience will take place in Berlin at Medien College Berlin, from the end of January to the end of March 2022, coinciding with the curricular internship period for fourth-year students.

‘I decided to apply because I think it’s a great opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, improve my English and grow professionally as well as personally,’ says Yasna Pederzolli, one of the students who applied.

Arianna Mattar adds, ‘I decided to apply for the two-month internship in Berlin because I think it’s a great opportunity to grow mentally and, above all, professionally, and to understand what I want to do now and in the future.’

Virtual mobility with Koning Willem I College

From 15 to 19 November 2021, the first part of “So far but yet so close” took place. This virtual mobility project, in collaboration with Koning Willem I College, involved 16 Dutch students from class 2B and a selection of 16 students from classes 4A and 4B at CMC.

During this week of virtual mobility, the students were tasked with working remotely as a team to agree on all stages of garment production. The assignment involved creating a complete denim and leather outfit inspired by Italian and Dutch designers.

‘I enjoyed this experience. I learned a lot from this collaboration and improved my teamwork skills. I think this experience was useful and interesting.’

‘It was an intense week, full of new experiences, satisfaction, hard work and knowledge. From this virtual exchange, I discovered how to collaborate better with other people and also how to work faster. I hope to have the opportunity to repeat it.’

These are some of the comments made by the students at the end of the week.
All the garments created were sent to the Netherlands for a photo shoot. In the coming months, they will be presented at an official fashion show in Trento.

CS-21 project from Ghent to Madrid, two years later

‘Teacher, we’re going out with the Spanish students, see you later at the hotel.’ That’s how the first day of the CS-21 project training week in Madrid ended. And we have to say, it couldn’t have ended better! After just one day, our students had made new friends and were chatting away in a mixture of English, Spanish and Italian.

After almost two years of hiatus, the Creative Skills 21 – Improving teaching and learning of 21st century skills for the creative industry project has resumed. The project sees students and teachers from eight European countries working together for two weeks to design and implement a creative project aimed at developing some of what are defined as 21st century skills. In this case, for the first of the two weeks, Communication and Cooperation were chosen, and both the students and the participating teachers had several opportunities for reflection and development.

During the week, they had the opportunity to participate in workshops on Design Thinking and Storytelling and put what they had learned into practice in group work. Teachers also attended another seminar on developing communication skills through cooperative learning.

At the same time, they took part in conferences on the theme of inequality, divided into three areas: economic, educational and gender. This was, in fact, the theme on which the groups had to work to design their projects to be carried out during the second week, which will be held in February in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Two girls and two boys from the CFP Canossa in Magenta participated on behalf of ENAC, accompanied by their graphics teacher. It was a very intense week for them, as they found themselves competing with students who were often older than them and had much more advanced language skills. Nevertheless, none of them ever backed down and, on the contrary, they all gave their best, despite the fatigue and difficulties, improving their language skills day by day, but above all gaining self-confidence and developing a great deal of resilience.

As mentioned, the project will continue with a second week in Switzerland for the implementation of the projects and then with two more weeks involving students and teachers from the SFP in Verona, travelling to Finland and Portugal.

Tuva tells us about her experience in Italy

Tuva is a Norwegian girl who decided to spend a year abroad, attending 4C at the humanities high school – theatre and cinema at the Canossian Institute ‘Madonna del Grappa’ in Treviso. Here’s what she told us:

“I remember very well when I decided to spend a school year abroad: it was March, dark and very cold, as always during winter in Norway. In addition, lessons were online at that time because of the pandemic. I was a bit tired of everything and wanted to do something fun and new. I said to myself: why not spend a year abroad? The idea was tempting but at the same time it scared me tremendously; but then I decided to take the plunge and left. Now I live just outside Treviso with a family of four: my “parents” and my two “sisters”, who are 17 and 19 years old. I get on really well with them. My sister Beatrice and I go to school together. This has been a great source of reassurance for me because I always have at least one person I can talk to easily.

In any case, my classmates were very welcoming and I never felt excluded. This opportunity to change schools and meet new people will never happen again: this is one of the reasons why I highly recommend spending a year abroad.

However, the experience with another school system has its pros and cons. It is no secret that Italian school is more difficult, but I would say that it is also much more interesting than school in Norway. Here in Italy, more effort is required, but this means that in my final year of school in Norway, with the final exams, I will be better prepared to study.

It’s true that a year abroad isn’t all easy. There are big changes and lots of rules that you just have to accept, even if it’s difficult. I really recommend all students to spend a school year abroad because you experience very strong emotions and unique experiences.
