Epaggelmatiko Lykeio Dramas
The name of the school is 1o Epaggelmatiko Lykeio
Dramas (Drama is the name of the city, located in the northern part
of Greece). We are a secondary education level school and we offer
technical education. The age of the students is 15-18 years old.
Our graduates have got access to Universities and
labour market. In our school there is a large number of migrants students
mostly coming from countries of the former Soviet Union and also economic
immigrants from other Balkan countries such as Albania and Bulgaria. The
percentage of immigrants students in our school is almost 20% since our
prefecture has common borders with Bulgaria. Also there are many students
that have been born in Germany by Greek parents who emigrated to Germany for
work in ‘60s and now have been back. Also there are some gipsy people.
All these categories have similar problems on
education, language and adaptation. Moreover, lots of our students come from
single parent families and families with intensive economical problems since
our region has strong unemployment problems. Furthermore, our students have
difficulties in linguistic and general subjects since the school is
vocational and students have low self confidence.
a)
Uchisar
Belediyesi
The area is a famous and popular tourist
destination, as it has many areas with unique geological, historic and
cultural features.
Uçhisar was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1985. Our region is
as a capital of Cappadocia.
Uçhisar municipality was founded in 1930. As a municipality, we have got 9
units which are for our publics to overcome some problems, cooperation for
steady and effective development and supply harmony among staffs and Mayor.
We're coordinator institution for this project. We haven't got participants
with specific needs.
Also Uçhisar has got highest fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, big and gorgeous
hotels, alternative tourism preferences.
b)
Anatolian
Balloons
Uluer Havacılık Turizm ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi
Sıcak Hava Balon Ucusu
Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, which has now identified
with the region, started in 1989. The common opinion reached at
International Balloon Festivals is that Cappadocia is the most pleasant
place in the world to fly a balloon. During the past 20 years the number of
companies doing commercial flights has reached nine. And due to competition
for profit instead of quality has resulted in the fact they have overlooked
important issues such as service quality and passenger safety.
Since the day it was founded, our company, seeing
this defect, has not made any concessions concerning safety and new
equipment and has not refrained from any expense that will lead to being the
“best there is”. None of the twenty five balloons in its possession are
promotional advertisement balloons and they are all the companys own
property. The fabric used on all of our balloons enjoys special quality and
design and they all bear the name of our company.
All the baskets we use are designed for VIP use, and its only in the baskets
of our company that you will see the same number of safety belts as the
number of passengers. All our baskets are insured according to the number of
passengers. Another source of pride is the 35 passenger balloons and baskets
are produced by Lindstrand, one of the greatest balloon manufacturers of the
world, who is producing all our equipment. Another balloon that only we have
is the one person Cloudhopper. This balloon will be used for promotional
purposes during festivals and it will also be rented out to clients who have
a pilots license. The sort of flights we do here can not be done, with the
same security, anywhere else in the whole world. We're one of the partner
institution in this project. We haven't got participants with specific
needs.
Zespol Szkol
Technicznych im. gen. Wl. Andersa w Bialymstoku
General Wl. Anders Complex of Technical Schools in
Bialystok is located in the north-east part of Poland sometimes called the
Green Lunges of Poland but it is also in disadvantaged area sometimes called
Poland D because it is one of the poorest regions in Poland, where a lot of
people doesn’t have work. It functions since 1929. For over 80 years our
school has trained 16 300 graduates for the needs of the city and region.
Among our students there are scholarships grantees
of Prime Minister, Minister of Education, the Mayor of Bialystok. We have
many winners of the international competitions and contests. Our boxers are
masters of Poland and EU. Our school provides wide range of after school
activities, such as: school radio relay centre, European and billiards club,
dance group, sports sections: handball, basketball, table tennis, football,
volleyball, boxing and shooting section.
We prepare students for different specializations (4 – year technical
college - wood technology technician; metal technology - car service and
repair work, modern manufacturing techniques, metal welding techniques;
organization of catering service technician, hotel industry technician,
qualified touristic technician; 3 – year profile secondary school: Classes
in the sports disciplines like: shooting sports, boxing techniques; 3 – year
Vocational School - car mechanic, ironworker, carpenter, roofer).
Most of our students comes from poor families, almost 85 %
of them are from the rural areas of our region. Not many students get a job
after they degree. Many of them would like to work in EU countries. The
problem is that employers would like to engaged them but they don’t speak
vocational English. We do what we can for them but lack of material for
teaching vocational English is one of the biggest problems. Our institution
employ counselors who support our students help them how to write CV and how
to pass a job interview. We help our students how to access the labour
market and we try to find a new possibilities to train them in a new ways
and methods.
We would like to be an equal partner in the project.

students from 14 to 19 years and 9 classes.
The students learn English and German and tourism hotel and
catering. They have practices and stages in firms. The students have

for their future employment.
