  1. COHAB Co-ordination and integration of highereducation and the labourmarketaround the South Baltic Sea By Martin Skude Rasmussen

  2. The Project in brief • 3-year project • Total budget of 1.478.000 € • 7 partners in 5 countries • 6 associatedorganizations • 3 maincomponents • 2 educations – nurse and teacher

  3. The background for of project • Lowlevel of mobilityaround the South BalticSea • Educationalmobility • Labourmarketmobility • A whish of improving the mobility

  4. The importance of improving the mobility • Cultural, educational, and labourmarketcoherence of the BalticSeaarea • Greaterculturalunderstanding • Greatereducational integration • Economiccompetetivenesswithother regions – more flexiblelabourmarkets

  5. How to improveeducational and labourmarketmobility? • First step • A need to find out whythere is a lowlevel of mobility

  6. Component 3: Identification of barriers for mobility The followingactivitieswilltakeplace in Component 3: • Identification of barriers for mobility (primarilyeducational) • RecruiterSurvey for identification of myths and barriers (primarilylabour-market) • Comparative analyses of the region and the educationsinvolved in the project

  7. Identification of barriers for mobility • Fourbarriers for mobility have alreadybeenidentified: • Curricula and educationalstructures • Lacking knowledge and preconceptions of culture and labour market conditions • Insufficient languagecompetencies • Logistics – travelling – (the creativelearning model) • Furtherinvestigationsinto barrieres for mobility

  8. The creativelearning model • The parallel teachingconcept • Distant learning – E-learning (virtual platform) • Face to facelearning

  9. Recruitersurvey • Will focuson the barriers and myths from the recruiter point of view • Necessary to knowwhatbarriers the recruitinglabourmarketorganizationsfocuseson

  10. Comparative analyses of the region and educationsinvolved • An overall comparison of the countriesinvolved in the project (macrolevel) • In depthscomparisons of the educationalstructures and content of the teaching and nursingeducations (microlevel)

  11. How to improveeducational and labourmarketmobilty? • Second step • Greater regional cooperation and understanding

  12. StaffMobility and cooperation • The followingactivitieswilltakeplace in component 4: • Study visits for the staff in the projectgroups • Training of the staff in new technologies (parallel teaching) • Development of virtual courses for teacher and nursing students • Development of summer schoolcourse • Student expectationsurvey

  13. StaffStudy Visits • Eachprojectgroupmemberwillparticipate in twostudy visits • Enhance the regional awareness of the staff • Facilitatehigherdegree of understanding and cooperationamong the staff

  14. Training in New Technologies • Training in using and becomingfamiliarwith the parallel teachingequipment • Not only a technologicalchallenge!

  15. Development of virtual courses • Duration of one semester • Buildon the findings in component 3 • Creation of learningobjectives • Enhance the regional awareness of the students • Enhance the professional skills of the students

Summer Schools • One summer school per profession – 2 weeks • Livingwith students from the region • One class – one region • Breakingdown the curricula barrier • Enhancinglingusticcompetencies • ECTS - credits • The creativelearning model – face/facelearning, parallel teaching, and distant E-learning – blended learning

  23. Student Study Visits • Kick off in the second semester of 2013 • Furthercultural and historicalunderstanding • Visit to localrecruiters and Universities • Enhancelinguisticcompetencies • Bridge Building the region

  24. QuantitativeSurveyBasedonLearningOutcomes • Evaluation of the courses – from the student angle • Evaluation is basedon the learningoutcome

  25. Main Points • Lowlevels of mobility – a whish to increase • Facilitateculturalknowledge and understanding • Breakingdownbarriers • The creativelearning model – students as well as staff
