The activities aimed at showing the health system structure and organization of each country will be developed by each country with active student participation and involvement of local and regional health authorities.
Similarly, through collaboration with institutions and healthcare organizations, each partner, for their country mobility, will plan the visits it deems necessary to show the types and functions of health centers and occupational profiles of sector and labor market for their country mobility.
Each partner involved in the project will develop, for onward submission to the visit to Spain (October 2010) a multimedia presentation describing the school. Each partner will also assume their tasks and include the project into the curricula.
Each partner will develop multimedia documents related to skills and professional profiles of students. There will be a sharing of this in Spain in October 2010 and we’ll produce a joint document to give a global vision of this aspect.
Each partner will develop the training description at each partner institution and the scope for giving continuity to training in each country and other countries after completing their vocational studies. In the Turkish meeting, partners will share their descriptions to have an idea about the educational qualifications frameworks around Europe and the interest of students to continue their vocational studies in their countries or other and the possibilities to work abroad.
Each partner school will prepare the documents or activities to show the interest, expectations and career goals of students that take them to choose a vocational training about health care or similar. Partners can do interviews (made by students) to other students that are now studying or interviews to alumni who can explain their job experiences. So, all partners can compare if student concerns are similar in different countries.
Each partner will prepare the relation of rights and duties of citizens in the health system. In the Romanian meeting (April 2012) all partners will make a pooling and write a joint document that includes all the rights and duties. Finally, all partners will assess whether they have met all the objectives.
Project coordinator will coordinate all activities during the development of the project.
All partners will communicate through new information technologies and communication. This can be done by exchanging emails, chats, virtual meetings, social networking websites and video conferencing. In addition, students involved in the project will be in contact with students from other partner countries through the Internet (email, chat, social networking websites ...). During the project, there will be virtual meetings between the project leaders of each partner country with the aim of sharing progress and new ideas for meeting the objectives. These virtual meetings also are useful to maintain communication between partners to cooperate in the smooth running of the project. In mobility, communication will be direct, in English, such as vehicular language of the project, among all the educational community involved.
In addition, there will be the cooperation of local and regional health institutions to achieve the objectives of the project.
All students involved in the project are an active part in its development and the achievement of its objectives. Students will design and develop, with the collaboration of teachers and health care institutions, documents that are part of the project results. Multimedia presentations, interviews, graphic documents, etc. to be drawn for each approximate date will be designed and presented by the students, so they must cooperate and communicate with them (between the same school students and between students from different schools). They will use English, the language of the project, which promotes the use of foreign languages as part of their training and personal and professional development and relationship with other cultures and beliefs. This will enable them to extend their skills as professionals within and outside their countries, facilitating the mobility of participants, promoting the expression in other languages, promoting self-confidence, knowing other ways of working, facilitating cooperation among people involved, and ultimately, forming better professionals.
Students should also be evaluating the project during its implementation and the end of its execution. Having been a vital part in the planning and project development (design activities, responsible for the presentations, participants in mobility ...) are also them who, together with teachers, must evaluate the achievement of the objectives.
Teachers obviously have a direct and essential involvement in the project, both in the planning, development and evaluation; it is promoted and coordinated by them. Teachers ensure the good conduct of its activities and will plan, together with students, activities to do in the mobilities and between mobility and mobility. Also, coordinate the implementation of planned activities and evaluate, during and after the project, the achievement of goals. Continuous evaluation of the project will know if the development way of the project is right for the successful achievement of all goals in the proposed timeframe. If the way is wrong, it will be time to take actions to ensure the achievement of objectives in the proposed timeframe and get all the results.
The evaluation of the project will be prepared by the coordinator and each partner and carried out in every partner school after each project meeting and year of project realization. The results of the evaluation will be included in the final report, worked out by the coordinator and disseminated in the website and blog of the project.
The established stages of the evaluation:
a) Defining aims of the evaluation – to what extent they have been achieved, specification of questions and criteria of the evaluation;
b) Using chosen particular methods;
c) Gathering information from all partners, transforming data and presenting the results on the LDV board/corner, on website page (the report);
d) To report to staff, head teachers, local community and local press/media about the work and results of the project.
The tools of the planned evaluation:
1. School documentation (reports, materials worked out by students);
2. Journal of the project;
3. Different kinds of questionnaires to evaluate teaching methods interdisciplinary and other teacher cooperation, impact on the local communities;
4. Questionnaires( for facts and opinion) concerning the activities - for students and teachers in partner schools, active participation of students (prepared by students);
5. Observation sheets;
6. Debate, discussions with students and teachers involved in the project activities or not, and chats , video conferences, interviews for students of all schools;
7. Quantify a level of participation and implication of students;
8. Presentation the final products in different European and national contests.
The evaluation of project implementation will be undertaken by the schools involved (teachers, teachers staff, management team, students and families of students involved). Assess the achievement of the objectives set out within the deadline and if the path taken toward its achievement is correct or not to take action. This will be possible thanks to continuous assessment during the two years of the project, each school individually and jointly by all members of the project schools. In the mobilities partners will also discuss whether they are achieving their objectives. Moreover, the impact on the local community will also be information necessary for evaluation. The effective involvement and collaboration of health institutions in the project will also help assess the correct development and implementation of their activities to achieve the objectives. hide
