EfVET presented the main dissemination activities of the project. In this respect, EfVET created the dissemination and communication strategy plan, set up the ESW Facebook page, helped to created awareness among different stakeholders about the when it comes to the next steps, EfVET will keep producing next newsletter s for the ESW project, and website. On the second day, the consensus conference was organised by ENAC. The conference explored the new identity of VET centres lies at the intersection between school and work, as several international and national experiences show. This Consensus Conference represents an important moment to read, discuss and validate the UICs Transferability Guidelines with the support of experts and relevant stakeholders. Different international and national experiences indicate the new identity of the training centres in the interweaving between school and work: an amphibious identity, so to speak, which embraces and unifies both the needs of learning and those of progressive employment. The Erasmus + project “ESW – EARLY SCHOOL WORKERS” (2018-1-IT01-KA202-006754) is confronted with significant experience, that of the UTC (University Technical College), to try to outline a transferable model of training enterprise, through the detail, in the form of Guidelines, of its constituent elements. The 9 May event represents a consensus conference, through which the Guidelines on the Training Enterprise will be read, analysed and integrated through the contribution of stakeholders and industry experts. Once the first project output has been validated, the model of the British UTCs will be analysed and adapted to the Italian, Spanish and German context. The idea is to transfer the English model to training realities in other countries to combat the training gap and early school leaving, reinforcing the key and technical-professional skills of the young people who attend VET courses. The consensus conference was divided into two parts: The workshops were as follows Times, spaces and methods of grouping (moderators Emanuele Serrelli and Luca Calligaro) Staff and organizational model (moderators Alessia Romito, Alfonso Rubinacci and Federico Carollo) The curriculum and the PBL method (moderators Roberto Franchini and Nicoli) Evaluation (moderators Arduino Salatin and Elisa Bara)The 2nd transnational meeting of the Early School Workers Erasmus + was held on the 8th of May in Brescia, Italy. The project aims at supporting the renovation of VET systems in Europe with the ultimate goal of tracking Early School Learning and increasing the employability of youngsters while fostering their active role in society.
More specifically, we focused on the transferability model, where from the model we will start to create a model of the UTC schools, including organisational, pedagogical and didactic variables that can be transferred to all contexts. The WP’s focuses on UK University Technical Colleges (UTCs) of their school-based enterprise experience. The methodology of Guidelines for a set of recommendations and practical indications that represent a consensus of a scientific community are:
