"Contemporary energy technologies for better life" project has been drawn up with the objectives of the Lifelong Learning Program . The target group included 10 students from the PGEE of different ethnic backgrounds (Bulgarians and ethnic Turks) who were being initially trained in 11th grade in “Electrical Engineering and Energetics” and “Electronics, Automation, Communications and Computer technique”. The group selection was made after a preliminary cultural, pedagogical and language tuition of the students.
The professional realization of the young people in
crises is big challenge. They need to be more competent, flexible and
responsible. The Energy sector is sphere in which are generated a lot of job
vacancies for power engineers – maintain the process of electricity production
and for computer specialists–maintain the computer control platform of the
production. That is the reason the target group includes students, who are
being initially trained in the two directions. In accordance with 2009/28/ЕО directive
for encouraging ecological energy production, Bulgaria has to reach in 2020 16%
of energy using to be for renewable sources energy. Implementation of the
contemporary energy technologies helps not only to safe the nature and climate
but also helps to the economics. Implementation of ecological energy production
calls for training cadres, which are skilled and motivated for developing in
this direction.
The concrete aims of the project were: raising the
quality, attractiveness and social status of the vocational education; building
on vocational training, through observation of modern technologies for
renewable sources energy production and automated and robotic system for
monitoring and control of the production in real work environment;stimulating students
for exchange of knowledge, skills, experience,information and receiving
a professional
experience;acquainting with the European quality standards; encouraging
of mobility and creating their attitude,as European citizens;enriching
linguistic skills for better intercultural dialogue;acquainting with the
culture,way of life and the traditions of the host country;creating their
attitude, as citizens,towards European issues connected with Global warming and the ecological use of natural
resources; equal possibilities for
education of young people from different
ethnic backgrounds.
Portugal is one of the most violently
developing countries in the sector, that’s why a Portuguese partner was chosen.
A work program, which was successfully realized from 07.07.2013 to 27.07.2013
in Viseu, Portugal,was drawn up collaboratively
with the host partner Globaladamastor.
The project has been oriented to satisfy the
beneficiaries’ needs and its implementation allow for training of students in
high technology companies and their acquaintance with European quality
standards; for further additional vocational development; monitoring and
control of the production in real work environment; sharing knowledge,
experience and information, enriching the worldview and increasing linguistic
culture; acquainting with the culture, way of life and the traditions of the
host country; competitive in the labour market; creating their attitude, as
citizens, towards European issues connected with global warming and the
ecological use of natural resources;combating discrimination and giving equal
possibilities for education to young
people from different ethnic
backgrounds.
All
previously set objectives have been realized.
As a result the students
gained new professional knowledge of modern technologies for the production of
renewable energy and automation systems for management and control of this
industry in a real work environment, achieve professional and personal
development, raised their motivation and perspective for the future realization,
increased their mobility and acquired a sense of European citizenship,
enriching their language skills
improving the intercultural dialogue , increased knowledge of the
culture, customs and traditions of other European country; creating their
attitude, as citizens, towards European problems.
For recognition of knowledge and skills acquired
during the preparation of practice and during the practice period, certificates
for language and vocational training were issued from the host organization,
for every beneficent, as well as the Europass mobility certificate for their
stay abroad, which will be added to the school-leaving certificate of
completion of professional education.
Participation of the beneficiaries in the project was
recognized as real production practice from compulsory curriculum in all
specialties.
