122 Part II
The role of children or adolescents must be clarified with the relevant
teachers. Another issue that needs to be arranged with teachers is, whether
children or adolescents will act as translators. Teachers should discuss and
plan in detail the tasks and possible roles of the children (e.g. translation
of tool lists).
The minor projects should be adequately calculated leaving sufficient time
to conclude these projects during the given exchange period. This is more
satisfactory for those involved than leaving the beneficial institution with
an unfinished project. It also makes no sense to convert ongoing tasks of
the given institution into subprojects of the exchange.
Detailed project drafts listing the planned products, tools, materials, work
procedures, necessary work clothes and workforce (young and elderly) are
helpful in the planning process. All participants should have access to these
drafts prior to the exchange so they can choose from the list of subprojects.
That way guests are given sufficient time to prepare for their work tasks.
Sponsors of materials for many projects can include local companies, the
facility’s support associations and parents. The choice of sponsors should
be accompanied by corresponding PR work, which mentions the supporters
by name.
The timing of the planning phase of the project should take delayed material
supply, change of cooperation partners and other unforeseeable events
into account. The timeframe for the later implementation of subprojects
should also be discussed in sufficient time, allowing for delays and obstacles.
Make sure that projects can be largely concluded within the exchange
period.
In the run-up to the exchange, all participants should be reminded to
bring appropriate work clothes.
Following the completion of projects, sufficient time should be scheduled
for a presentation of all project results. Other group participants, teachers,
parents, representatives of sponsors, politicians and the press should be
invited to this event.
The issue of certificates confirming the project work particularly motivates
younger participants and might help them in their later search for an apprenticeship
or a job.
Planning the Framework Programme
•
Possibilities for the framework programme beyond the practical work in
subprojects are provided in the form of various modules, which need to be
more or less included in the initial planning process:
» Greeting and introductory round, possibly including a welcome of
guests e.g. by the local mayor
» Project information for all participants (regarding exchange procedure,
cooperation partners etc.)
