Motivation

The goal of the European Union is to create a community with the more and the better jobs and sustainable economic growth with social cohesion that can have the world’s most competitive and dynamic knowledge based-economy. But the goal has not been reached yet. To achieve this goal, Young people our common source of labor should be trained to meet European and community’s needs. In Europe, all young people are expected to understand basic skills of the ICT technology, have digital competence , could learn and speak at least one foreign language, they work as a team, can easily adapt to changes in the decision-making and problem-solve, communicate both written and oral.

As a result of rapid and continuous development of technology,the rapid development of mass media such as radio,television,fax, and Internet has dramatically increased the flow of information and has accelerated employment in these areas. Therefore, social movements enforce the cultures pass through national borders become global identity. Thus, the multi-functional labor with leaders and administrative staff will become the most important determinants of global production. As a result of globalization, the need for mobility of labor with social harmony is increasing in Europe. It is necessary to remove barriers such as communication, language, culture clash, and environmental in front of the labor mobility and voluntary mobility and promote the social counselling, vocational guidance, language learning and training of values orientation.

That is common belief, as well as the capacity and experience of the schools is not enough to develop these competencies. Therefore, we need to encourage lifelong learning, continue to do in different areas, promote to work alongside people from different backgrounds. There are so many different groups in the community. Social situations affect the overall level of social cohesion. There is a direct negative association between social inequality and social cohesion. By providing participation of students in project activities and mobility that has poor socio-economic status; disadvantages of students will be changed into an advantage. This project will carry learning environment out of classroom. A tie will be established between school and business world. Thus, project activities will be applied in different communities, social institutions, and business areas and in daily life. By the way students will get information about employment opportunity in different countries. By the way students will get information about employment opportunity in different countries. This Project throughout the project after its implementation will be able to promote the acquisition and maintaining of key competences such as digital competence, communication in other Europe language, cultural awareness, social and civic competences, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.

The other most important objective of this project is to promote training of the teachers, school leaders and other school staffs to acquire some key competences. This training process includes entrepreneurship, vocational guidance, innovative ICT-based skills, project management, personal, pedagogical and leadership skills. Entrepreneurship is not included in all parts of the education systems. Entrepreneurship education covers creativity, innovation and risk taking, and the ability to plan and manage projects in order to achieve objectives. Thus, Entrepreneurship has a vital importance for lifelong learning. Entrepreneurship is not only about the job creation, but also enhances upward mobility, develops social leadership, increases individuals’ self-confidence, thus teachers will be able to open schools to the outside world via this project.

Group activities will be hold for exploring benefit hearing new ideas, exchanging ideas, learning from others, solving problems and promote opportunity communicate in English or in other languages. Participating students will be encouraged to co-operate ,to research information relevant for target subject by the way they will manage the collation and presentation of this information, via e-mail, website, booklet and magazine.

To raise awareness and improve knowledge about social cohesion and values orientation, Ice-breakers and warm up activities will be planed and performed before mobility to create positive atmosphere in the group.

European values

This project will create ideal opportunities for students and teachers who come from different socio-economic cultures and different backgrounds to live together, respect to each other’s ,to spend a period of time in another European society so that they can further their own education and training, acquire social experience and develop their foreign language skills. Project activities help them to respect to values, trust in other people and in societal institutions, and acquire feelings of solidarity, a sense of belonging to the same community and a common identity. They will taste different cultures and respect to diversity, by the way societal cohesion and values orientation will be facilitated and established by developing mutual understanding, trustful relations and effective communication. Societal cohesion is considered as source of sustainable economic growth. Societal cohesion reduces some problems such as inequality, discrimination and unemployment and other risks... For sustainable economic growth and better societal cohesion, Europe needs better skilled and more adaptable labor mobility. But our students who are common source of our future are missing some of the skills and knowledge such as ICT, digital and language competence, entrepreneurship; they don’t have enough information about work of world, professional Career Guidance, Job strategy of Europe. Project activities will prepare students for working together as European citizens in future's world of work and will facilitate the acquisition of skills needed for labor mobility and social cohesion.
