[Go&Learn+] Network expansion (Ongoing)

Rationale

The G&L initiative (www.goandlearn.eu) proved to be of great interest for participants as well as hosting companies and public bodies sponsoring them. In Italy G&L agencies and workgroups have been set up in Friuli VG, Metropolitan area of Bologna, Umbria, Marche; in the EU, agencies have been set up in Belgium (East Flanders), Germany (Constance Lake), Poland (Pomerania), Hungary (Nyiregyhaza), Slovakia (Presov), Slovenia, Turkey (Konia). The Agencies/Workgroups organize G&L study visits for both local customers (local catalogue) and foreign groups (international catalogue). It is now very important to expand the G&L network to new european countries as well as new italian regions/provinces, to enhance the attractiveness of the offered training visits and increasing the number of potential users of this innovative learning and guidance tool.

The highest the number of companies involved, the highest will be the possibility to effectively use this training units inside the existing training paths of VET, schools, universities, companies or any interested training provider.
The network expansion requires a capillary work of creation of new G&L agencies/workgroups able to create the new G&L catalogues of local seminars in the first place and, as a second step, will generate a proposal of international "circuits".

The project fully targets different EU priorities:

enhance training role of companies, foster local and
international mobility of students and workers, innovation of
guidance and teaching methodes, linking schools systems with the labour market.

The project can be considered a transfer of innovative training and guidance practices aimed to:

expand the existing G&L offer of local seminars and international circuits and promote the use of this training units to foster local and international mobility
to promote the use of the G&L training units as innovative ways of doing guidance and professional adjournment
integrate the existing website pages (companies, seminars) with short promo clips
