4 EPAL KAVALAS
The 4rth EPAL of Kavala is a Vocational and Technical school of 250 students. Our school is situated in the beautiful town of Kavala in Northern Greece, by the sea. Our institution provides educational opportunities to people who intend to expand their knowledge or skills and to receive a lyceum degree as well. We offer them educational opportunities which will help them in adjusting to the technological, economical, social and cultural developments. We undertake tasks connected with the
education and upbringing of our students who originate from environments that provide them with fewer opportunities and smaller chances of future success in their professional life. We have several departments as: - Business Administration, - Tourism - Logistics - Graphic Design – Nursing. The lessons are both theoretical and practical. Our students learn whatever they need to know about the profession they have chosen so as to create better conditions for transition to working life. In
addition a big proportion of our students come from migrant or one parent families who live in remote villages of the region under the danger of exclusion and of being considered second - class students. Some of our students are economy immigrants from Albania, Georgia, Bulgaria and Russia and we have also special classes with refuges from (Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh). Many of our students have learning problems, or special educational needs such as behavioral problems, dyslexia etc. The average classroom doesn't fit their needs so we have teachers to help them with extra lessons. We offer to our student’s opportunities which would help them to obtain a vocation according to the employment policies parallel to economic development, through our educational programs We also prepare students to get to the job market or to continue to the University. Our school plays an important role in the social and cultural life, by providing not only
education but extracurricular activities as well, stimulating students’ creativity and facilitating their understanding of different cultures in a common European context. During this project our target group thereby a big number of people will have the chance to achieve cultural exchange and have the opportunity to learn the values promoted by the EU. Getting involved in international projects is a unique opportunity for our students to get in touch with the everyday life and the cultures of other
countries. In the field of volunteering, our school participates in many of the municipality’s volunteering actions and events and cooperates with a school of students with special needs. We have very big experience in European projects and a lot of times we have hosted students from other countries. We can organize a) lessons for them, b) study visits, c) job shadowing, d)cultural visits, e) sports competitions, f) games, etc

ENSINUS - Estudos Técnicos e Profissionais SA
ENSINUS, the holding that created INETE in 1988, has its core business in Education ranging all educational levels from preprimary schools to university as well as teaching and vocational training, consulting and applied research. ENSINUS was acquired in 2009 by another educational corporation named Grupo Lusófona. INETE was aimed as a vocational school for young people undergoing initial training as well as continuous training of professionals. Since the beginning INETE has trained
2775 highly qualified technicians. This year, INETE offers 8 different courses (Management, Accountancy, Optics, Computing, Electronics and Industrial Automation, Mechanics and Car Mechanics, Telecomunication) attended by 595 students. There are 26 full-time teachers, 26 external collaborators and 14 administrative collaborators. Students come from different areas of
Lisbon, in many cases with a medium-low socio-economic environment. Ensinus- ETP has had a dinamic participation in international projects, since 2001, INETE participated in 7 Comenius projects, 4 Leonardo da Vinci projects and 3 ERASMUS +. These projects involved 44 teacher's and 143 student's mobilities. INETE hosted 6 Comenius language assistants. INETE board took part in a CEDEFOP (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) visit. We've worked with 10 different countries. From all the projects we've been into, we highlight Euroexperts and Euroexperts II, ROVOC and EuroMobility. The last one project enabled students to participate in a one month training abroad. For instance, in 2011 there were 14 students in Italy, Ireland and Hungary, and 2013 11 students in Spain. In 2014 4 students went to the United Kingdom and 7 to Italy. In 2015 25 students went to Spain and Italy. In 2017 24 students went to Spain, UK, Finland and Germany and 4 teachers went to Finland, UK and Spain. We were seeking partners to set up an international project about entrepreneurship, prototyping with 3D printing and Lego robots. A project like this one will add a plus and an experience that can be used in the courses we offer in Inete. We have a very motivated team of 4 teachers who are going to be directly involved in the project. We are experts in Electronics, Arduino and Raspberry Pi coding: that's the main contribution we are going to make to the project. In the event that any of the teachers directly involved in the project leaves the school, other teachers from his department would replace him.
