▶Objectives
We want to activate students in creative activities in the field of international cooperation, increase their key professional and personal competencies, encourage them to continue their education or gain experience working abroad. Similarly, for teachers, who will gain new experience and encouragement for their further creative work and education. Everyone will have the opportunity to try new techniques, procedures, learn from each other, enrich themselves with new approaches to education. We want to create practical materials (instructional photo books of cuts and recipes for Czech and Slovak cold dishes, freely available online), which will also serve other students not only in our schools or the wider public, and thus contribute to innovations in vocational education and training. We want to enable students with limited opportunities to participate in international mobility. We want to increase the attractiveness of education at our vocational schools by implementing the project. New promotional videos for the 4 fields of our schools will be created, project activities will be promoted in local media. And also contribute to breaking down prejudices through mutual understanding of individual nations and their cultures.
▶Activities
We implemented 4 mobilities for students of graphic arts disciplines, 2 in the Czech Republic, 2 in the Slovak Republic, each for 6 students and 3 teachers. Four more mobilities for students of the Cook-Waiter and Hairdresser/Barber disciplines, again 2 in the Czech Republic and 2 in the Slovak Republic, each for 2 professional teachers and 7 students. During these mobilities, students worked on individual topics according to their specialization under the professional guidance of their teachers. A student graphic design competition for the best project logo was announced, and project T-shirt designs were created. The graphic designers focused on creating the website and the principles of web promotion, adjusting the project logo, filming promotional videos, and taking photo documentation. They learned new techniques for processing promotional and advertising materials, trained in the field of interior and exterior advertising, engaged in digital photography, held a public opening for an exhibition of their work, processed the printed form of photo books, etc. Chefs worked on cold food recipes. Hairdressers improved their skills in hair treatment and diagnostics, hair care and haircuts. They received professional training.
▶Impact
The specific outputs are 4 promotional videos, for the Slovak school for the Beautician and Confectioner fields. For the Czech school for the Mechanical Engineering field with a focus on CNC technology and PC graphics and the second for a focus on Robotics. Two Czech-Slovak photo books were created, in printed and digital form. One with procedures and photographs of women's and men's haircuts, the other with recipes for cold Czech and Slovak cuisine. Furthermore, 2 simple videos with haircuts and the process of making sushi. Several promotional materials were created by the students (printed mugs, project T-shirts, project website, badges, magnets, etc.), and the exterior decoration of the public space, photographs from the joint creation of the students - photo shoots in the industrial premises of the Strakonice Heating Plant and in the Moto Depo Čezeta museum. Here, the students took photos of both the premises themselves and machines/motorcycles, as well as specially dressed and combed models from the Strakonice hairdressers. The photographs were then exhibited in the public outdoor gallery ArtWall (public opening with the participation of Strakonice Television). A project promotional presentation was created.
