About this project

<p>The main idea of the project is to improve the quality of vocational education at the secondary and higher level in the field of tourism in the border area of the Polish part of the Carpathian Euroregion, using Norwegian models. The project will result in the activation of employment of graduates of vocational schools and the Bronisław Markiewicz State University of Technology And Economics&nbsp; (PWSTE) in Jarosław by entities operating in tourism industry in the border area. In order to achieve these assumptions, the project provides for the development by the Scientific Team of proposal for new, two curricula at the secondary and higher vocational level, which will be implemented in schools by the Applicant, and then by subsequent schools in the Carpathian Euroregion, ensuring long-term benefits.<br> The innovative character will be ensured by the cooperation platform created in the project in the form of two types of workshops: a co-creation workshop and quality circles. Scheduled study visits will allow the exchange of experiences between partners. An element of effective promotion will be the Carpathian Educational Forum, devoted to tourism education, attended by specialists from Poland and abroad.</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

The most important benefit of having institutions from the Donor States was the possibility of cooperation focusing on the creation of a joint report under RPI_1, which contributed to the creation of subsequent project documents. Thanks to the possibility of meetings both on-site and remotely, changes were introduced in the curricula of study fields, which will use Norwegian models in preparing future staff (increasing the quality of teaching in the VET sector).
