Europlan is an intensive training in European project management organised by Pixel Associazione in Florence. It is followed by a three-month internship in one European organisation. Most participants are adults between 20 and 30 with previous education; they come from all over Europe and sometimes beyond.

The Skype meeting was meant to present to the students the organisations that agreed to receive interns, including Inforef. Inforef presented its activities and ongoing European projects, with special focus on "Vocational Guidance in CLIL" since Inforef is its coordinator and the platform is likely to interest those students, who seek international experience. Brochures had been previously provided to Pixel to be distributed to the participants (see event of the 19th-20th of October).

The UK Multiplier Event was held on 28th February 2018 as a showcase in a national event for providers of adult learning. A wide cross-section of organisations, including public sector organisations, VET training providers, vocational support agencies, regional colleges and universities, voluntary sector organisations attended. Approximately 400 people were registered for the event and 60 expressed an interest in coming to the CLIL showcase event.In the event 41 delegates attended.

Out of the 60 who had expressed an interest in the VG-CLIL Showcase, 41 attended the event which included presentations about the project and its objectives plus a demonstration of the Training Platform. Delegates were given the chance to experience the activities on the platform.

There was positive feedback and a genuine interest in the topic. Many of the audience were not familiar with this approach to employability/language training and thought that the integrated content added a new dimension that made the learning programme more interesting and challenging. They felt that it would be especially useful for language students seeking job opportunities abroad thus contributing to greater economic and social mobility. There were several enquiries likely to result in exploitation and sustained use of the product (particularly from language tutors). There were also a number of requests for a similar tool to be developed at lower language levels eg. A2

Apricot presented the training platform to key members of a large nationally funded Job Centre in Genova. The learning materials were then further disseminated at the bi-annual regional jobs fair run by the agency. The estimated audience was in the region of 300 delegates. These included employers, VET institutions, local and regional authorities as well as students and young job seekers. They were all encouraged to register on the platform, try out the learning modules and further promote the project through their own networks.

Apricot had the opportunity to network extensively at the Annual Erasmus plus conference held in Cardiff last month. The event was well attended (over 300 delegates) and provided and ideal opportunity to showcase the project amongst interested parties. The VGCLIL project leaflets were distributed to a large number of attendees and there were a number of vocational centres that expressed an interest in piloting the platform when available. We also had productive discussions with Employability Agencies to whom the CLIL approach was a new concept. They felt that there would be possibilities for their clients to trial the materials and they agreed to disseminate information across their networks. Between sessions the Apricot team took advantage of the E+ Community hub and discussed additional dissemination channels with National Agency staff. This included access to new Video booth to record project results and impact. This will provide a valuable dissemination tool for the future promotion of VGCLIL

On the 9th and 10th November 2017, Professor Marianna Memè, on behalf of the cultural association ASTERES, the Italian partner of the project, presented the project's rationale, implementation and outputs at the international conference "ICT for Language Learning" in Florence at the presence of over 150 among university and college lectures, school teachers, representatives of European Agencies (including Nathalie Baidak from EACEA), private companies active in the field of e-learning, cultural associations members.

The presentation rose a great interest among the audience and the opportunity of a follow-up received extremely positive comments.

The platform and the e-course was presented at the "Consulta della cultura" meeting, at the presence of the Responsible for cultural activities of Senigallia's Council, Mrs Simonetta Bucari, and of the representatives of all the cultural associations of the town.

We also gave a dimonstration of the use of the platform.

The third newsletter was sent to ASTERES's relevant contact in Italy and Europe. 200 people and organisations received it.

On friday 28th April an important event took place at "La Fenice" Theatre in Senigallia.

ASTERES took part in the event, and we had the opportunity to distribute the project flyers and relevant information to many young workers interested in working abroad.

On the 11th April 2017 the project “Vocational Guidance in CLIL” was presented during a meeting of the Culture Associations Committee in Senigallia. The Committee in composed of 94 associations of the town, active in the fields of culture and active citizenship.
