Erasmus+ (english)

In the framework of international projects for development of higher education sector, in June 2018, an application for a project from the KA107 group (financed by the EACEA) was accepted. This project is realized in cooperation with Higher Vocational College from Celje and its aim is student exchange in terms of execution of professional training programs, where 4 students from our School will perform their professional training in several companies in the Republic of Slovenia, and 2 students from partner School will perform their professional training in companies from Leskovac. Moreover, professors from both partner countries will, through the mobility, exchange experience, hold a certain number of classes at visiting Schools, work on enhancing Erasmus capacity and improving knowledge on the use of modern IT platforms in the teaching process.

In line with the previously said, representatives of Higher Business School of Professional Studies from Leskovac paid a visit to Higher Vocational College in Celje  from 19^th-23^rd November. Activities realized in this phase of Erasmus+ KA107 project were lectures which professors from Leskovac held for Celje students as well as trainings on the use of “web” classrooms that they attended (trainings were organized and held by professors from Higher Vocational College in Celje). Furthermore, project coordinators, Mojca Mendelbah and Dragan Stojanovic exchanged ideas and thoughts on applications and realization of Erasmus projects based on their previous experience.

In addition, representatives of Higher Business School of Professional Studies from Leskovac and Higher Vocational College in Celje paid a visit to HBSL students who were taking part in professional training programs realized at the Regional Chamber of Commerce and companies Lesoproduct, Intersplet and Eco Plus in Celje, Slovenia.

During the school year of 2017/2018, the realization of previously approved KA107 project with the USAMV University from Cluj (Romania) was continued. As part of this program, four professors from HBSL took part in a teaching mobility realized at this University. This mobility presented an opportunity to exchange experience and prepare for future cooperation.

As part of Erasmus+ project, HBS delegation paid a visit to Higher Vocational College in Celje. Our school has taken participation in the realization of the project ‘’Harmonization of practical education’’ whose aim is to enable mobility of both staff and students between the program and partner institutions. Based on the exchanged experience and good practice we will develop a number of suggestions to enhance the system of organization and performance in all countries participating in the project.

From 19.09. to 24.09. Higher Vocational College hosted a number of meetings attended by the established work groups. By the end of the project two more contact sessions of work groups will take place in Leskovac, in March and September of 2017. During their stay, HBS delegation paid a visit to ‘’Gorenje’’ factory in Velenje and ‘’Unior’’ factory in Zreč, Slovenia.
