2nd Transnational Partner-Meeting, March2014 / Izmir – TURKEY
On 24 and 25 March 2014 the project partners from the eight countries had their second exchange meeting. It was hosted by EGECED in Izmir, Turkey. The partners presented and jointly analysed the results from the surveys of demand they had carried by means of questionnaires and interviews over the past months in the transfer countries (AT, DE, BG, TR, FI, and NL).
The resulting needs analyses, which will now be summed up in individual country reports, are the basis for adapting and developing individual training programmes for VET teaching and training staff in the respective countries.
Since both the project-relevant stakeholders as well as the VET systems in the various countries are very different from each other, the project partners agreed to develop the STAY IN modules independently and, thus, make them very individual as well as demand- and country-specific. The two basic products, SCHOOL INCLUSION and CESSIT, present a solid foundation of existing materials. However, the upcoming project phase will be very intense and we will need to master big tasks within the next few months.
