Bilateral cooperation results

Project partner – the Centre for Craftsmanship, Dual Education and Vocational Education in Konin, an institution of strong standing in the region in the field of vocational education and training. An institution which also conducts its own research into the labour market and vocational education, i.e. educational activities for both students and teachers. If it were not for the Centre for Craftsmanship, Dual Education and Vocational Education in Konin, which created a partnership with local governments, employers and vocational training institutions, the implementation of this project would not have had the chance for its current success. The dialogue started by the Konin Partner among the institutions interested and open to the project translated into the quality of the results developed in the project and their consistency with the documents relevant to Eastern Wielkopolska. We would like to emphasise that the institution from Konin is the most important partner in this project because it knows the VET environment of the region and this particular environment knows and respects the Centre for Craftsmanship, Dual Education and Vocational Education. It was an ideal partner to carry out the project activities, it carried out the tasks very well, which translated into the quality of the entire project. The Norwegian partner is an institution that has experience in developing strategies and changes relevant to the Oslo regions. The Norwegian partner's experience of how and where change can be implemented has proved invaluable in terms of the results developed. The Norwegian partner also presented examples of strategies that had to be stopped due to changes that had not been identified at the approval stage. It proves that change is fraught with the risk of failure if institutions or plans are not adequately prepared for the change process. The partnership in the project was very well chosen and achieved the tasks set. We are considering to develop a new project based
