The partnership

• The partnership is composed of an extended
  network of subjects local bodies, vocational
  training centres and representatives of social
  entrepreneurship, present on five territories
  part of four different European countries
  (Piemonte and Veneto in Italy, France, Bulgaria
  and Poland)

5
The Partnership will start an experience of
shared research-creation-experimentation-validatio
n, in order to plan together a vocational
training model for tutors with standard European
modules and to recognize this professional
profile on a European level.
6
External outcomes

• The external expected outcomes of the project
  TEUTOR, which will have an impact beyond the
  partnership, are
• the participation of the final beneficiaries to
  the vocational training module, that will help
  their integration in the labour market
• II) the European recognition of the vocational
  training model and the professional profile
  defined by the project.

7
The vocational training centres will have a
complete vocational training model that can be
reproduced in following courses, able of helping
the qualification of future participants, that
will then be facilitated in accessing the
European labour market as qualified professional
tutors with a title recognized on a European
level the demand of social enterprises for
qualified tutors will be satisfied the local
bodies will be able to implement the developed
best practices in their labour policies, to
better respond to the professional needs of young
people and of disadvantaged social groups to
employ, when necessary, qualified tutors the
disadvantaged social groups will benefit from the
support of qualified operators in their
professional and social lives.

• The phases of the project (named WPs-work
  packages) are
• RESEARCH
• ELABORATION AND CREATION OF THE VOCATIONAL
  TRAINING MODEL FOR TUTORS, OF THE DIDACTIC
  MATERIAL AND OF THE EVALUATION SYSTEM AND
  INSTRUMENTS
• IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VOCATIONAL TRAINING MODEL
  FOR TUTORS
• EVALUATION AND MAINSTREAMING.

9

• PHASE 1 RESEARCH
• A transnational research is to be conducted on
• existing vocational training courses for tutors
  in the different European countries of the
  partners involved in the project (Italy, France,
  Poland, Bulgaria)
• social qualifications that are recognized on a
  regional and national level
• regional and national legislation concerning the
  labour inclusion process of disadvantaged social
  groups.
• The research is due in each national language,
  translated and assembled in English, in order to
  permit the dissemination of the results.

10

• PHASE 2 ELABORATION AND CREATION OF THE
  VOCATIONAL TRAINING MODEL FOR TUTORS, OF THE
  DIDACTIC MATERIAL AND OF THE EVALUATION SYSTEM
  AND INSTRUMENTS
• A vocational training model for tutors dealing
  with the labour inclusion process of
  disadvantaged social groups will be created
  (elaboration of the training modules and
  adjustment of these according to the situations
  present in the different partner countries
  selection of the teachers).
• A web site with a virtual classroom will be
  created in order to use E-Learning tools method
  for some of the lessons.

11

• A didactic software on CD ROM will be elaborated
  and will include the main subjects and themes of
  the vocational training model (psychology,
  sociology, pedagogy, rehabilitation psychology,
  family sociology, comunication, language use,
  creation of interpersonal relations..). This
  product will be used both during frontal lessons
  in class and indipendently by the students.
• The group of final beneficiaries (minimum 5
  students per territory) and their basic abilities
  will be defined.
• The specific evaluation instruments for the
  training model will be elaborated evaluation
  grills, reports for the trainers and the
  students.

12

• PHASE 3 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VOCATIONAL
  TRAINING MODEL FOR TUTORS
• The vocational training model will be
  experimented in 5 territories (Piemonte, Veneto,
  Bulgaria, Poland and France) of the 4 partner
  countries. It will include
• frontal lessons in class
• E-Learning modules
• seminars and stages in different structures of
  the different territories, in order to have a
  direct experience with the different categories
  of the disadvantaged social groups (minors,
  substance abusers, disabled people,). Its in
  fact very important to experience the so called
  Learning By Doing method.
• .

13

• The whole training course will last 82 hours.
• The E-Learning method will be implemented through
  the use of the didactic software on CD ROM and of
  the web site with a virtual classroom.
• The web site with the virtual classroom will be
  composed of 3 different sections
• Public section opened to all, used for
  information exchange during the project and for
  the dissemination of the results
• 2)Trainer section the trainers, from the
  different European countries, will share their
  experiences, their difficulties and their
  materials in English in a virtual Classroom. They
  will also collaborate in the creation of the
  didactic software.

14
3) Student section Following the aims of the
training plan proposed to the students, there
will be the possibility to deepen the knowledge
of some of the subjects and themes through a
E-Learning virtual platform the students will be
able to confront eachother, prepare and exchange
essays on the topics discussed in class, also
thanks to the use of the didactic software on CD
ROM. The final expected result is the European
recognition of a certification of the necessary
skills/competences a tutor should have.
15
PHASE 4 EVALUATION AND MAINSTREAMING In this
phase all the partners will define quality
indicators, in order to evaluate the training
course, interms of efficiency and
effectiveness The definitive vocational training
model for tutors will be then outlined and the
procedures to obtain the European certification
and the recognition of the title initiated. The
Best Practices will be gathered and summarized in
a final publication, that will cointain all the
main aspects of the project and can be
distributed by the partners. The final event will
also be useful to disseminate the results and to
do mainstreaming. The web site will also continue
to be active after the end of the project so that
the results will be available to the public and
the partners can continue to collaborate.

• MAIN STEPS OF THE PROJECT
• November 2007 Febraury 2008 Research phase
• 2) End of February - March 2008
• Selection of the possible trainers
• Elaboration of a proposal of didactic plan for
  the vocational training model for tutors,

17
HOW SHOULD THE DIDACTIC PALN BE DRAFTED?

• It should be be based on the results of the
  research and of the transnational meeting held in
  Venice
• It should be drafted according to local needs and
  context
• Local needs could be analysed through local focus
  groups with the actors involved in the inclusion
  process of disadvantaged social groups
• Proposals must be sent to the Municipality of
  Asti by the end of March 2008.

18

• April 2008 the Asti partners will try to
  summarize all the proposals in one didactic plan
  and will then send it to all the other partners
  the summarization process will be shared through
  emails, phone and skype contacts.
• May 2008 a transnational meeting in France will
  be held to validate the common European didactic
  plan and define the main subjects it should
  include these will be the basic material for the
  CD ROM
• June July 2008 each partner, in collaboration
  with the selected trainers, will work on the
  contents of the CD ROM and of the E-Learning
  platform. The contents of the CD ROM can be quite
  general and must be in English. The contents of
  the E-Learning platform will be translated into
  the different languages, a summary will be
  available English, to make the website and the
  platform accessible on a European level

19

• September 2008 a transnational meeting in
  Bulgaria will be held to validate the contents of
  the CD ROM and of the platform and the organise
  the training course in the different partner
  countries. The specific evaluation instruments
  for the training model will be elaborated
  evaluation grills, reports for the trainers and
  the students.
