Up2EU
Programme: Erasmus+ Erasmus+ KA2: Strategic Partnerships for VOCATIONAL EDUCATION and TRAINING
Reference: 2020-1-DE02-KA202-007626
Start: 01/10/2020
End: 31/05/2023
The aim of the project is to support educational institutions, small and medium-sized organisations (SMO) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the service sector with the challenges of international work in Europe. An integrated digital learning tool will be developed for this with complementary products that will be available free online.
Users can use this learning tool to acquire the necessary skills for the Europeanisation of their enterprises or organisations alongside their work one step at a time, and will be able to apply these skills directly to their daily work (work based learning approach). Education providers will be able to use the materials and model curriculum to offer training to the target group.
- A process model that clearly shows how the step from national work through to European work, or the optimisation of European work, can systematically succeed.
- A curriculum on the basis of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). This will facilitate the design of internal organisational training and of training courses for the target group.
- An upgrade2europe handbook that will enable personal and practical training at the workplace with the help of ‘ready to use’ methods and instruments.
- Teaching and learning videos that focus on the most important areas of Europeanisation and give users a first impression of the relevance of the different topics.
- A digital self-assessment tool to help users analyse their organisation’s degree of readiness for inter-national work in Europe and give them immediate individual recommendations for action.
- An email course to sensitise recipients to the topic of Europeanisation.
Results
- upgrade2europe offers learners the chance to expand and establish their own skills in a field of activity that is relevant to the job market.
- upgrade2europe trains people to successfully shape the process of Europeanisation within their organisation and contribute to the future design of Europe in the area of shared values. Their companies and organisations will on the whole be more competitive, able to create new workplaces in the mid to long term and able to strengthen the Europe-an economic area.
