For our student we especially wanted to improved their self-reliance by taking them to a different country and making them use a foreign language. Even though the countries are close to each other, the students were confronted with quite a different culture, company culture and school life. This also improved their communication skills at interpersonal and professional levels. They had to communicate with other pupils, teachers and external professionals in appropriate manners. Also their command of the foreign language was improved of course We also wanted to raise their insights in the importance of sustainable entrepreneurship and how companies deal with these issues. The teachers increased the attractiveness and relevance of their teaching. By working together with the teachers from the other country, they didn’t just expand their network, but they especially learned a lot from each other’s expertise and observed different ways of teaching. Also their professional and language skills were improved in this project. The schools, finally, were able to create more dynamic teaching environments which increased the students well-being and motivation for their studies.
