About the project:

Who:This partnership involves institutions providing vocational education, representatives of working life, non-profit organizations and bodies responsible for vocational education and training at a local level. The target group are the teachers, trainers and other staff of the institutions mentioned above who are interested in, or responsible for, organizing activities to improve the professional skills and competence of the participants.

What&How:This project will improve the quality and increase the volume of cooperation between institutions which are interested in organizing festivals and need a higher degree of professionalism. It is a recognized feature of the partners that working in collaboration with local employers and agencies can have benefits in the long term by creating sustainable employment opportunities to meet the demands of the labour market. In this project the competence and entrepreneurship of the target group will be improved through active involvement of each partner in peer learning, team building activities and workshops. Besides, participants will make observations and research good examples organised in partner countries. At the end of this project the participants will have prepared a guidebook about organizing festivals based on their work and experience gained in the project. Moreover, an international festival will be started in the country of the coordinator and participants from each part of Europe will be welcome to this festival. This partnership will go beyond this project and its results and products will be exploited.

When&Where:This project will start in September 2012 and ends in July 2014. In two years' time there will be flows to each partner to maintain the partnership and implement the project activities efficiently.
