E-bridge has a message

As the authors o e-bridge program, we would like to participate in an European mission being increase

in the possibility to make use o the occupational mobility o the Europeans. We are aware that the great-

est initiative in this respect is shown by young people (up to 25 years old) and people more than 65 years

old. The challenges involved with the labor market make us adapt to it in a more aster and lexible way.

E-bridge project supports proessional, geographical and educational mobility.

We support people who change the place o residence or the purpose o searching or a dierent workplace, cul-tural area or possibility o additional education. We ocus on collecting any, necessary or all mobile Europeans, le-gal, administrative inormation and this related to the everyday lie, so that each o you would have least problemswith adaptation to a new cultural environment. Apart rom a complex guide describing principles o movement ina particular country, as well as principles prevailing on the European labor market, we oer you language coursesthat, apart rom issues related to education, will contain also data related to culture and customs o a given country.Didactic materials will be available in three languages: German, English and Spanish. Material will be translated into 4languages (Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovakian). The course prepares or communication in a given language withregard to the most important aspects o daily lie.

The reason why the project E-Bridge to mobility wascreated came mainly rom observing the EU labourmarket and analysis o the needs o Eastern Europeemigrants (especially those rom Bulgaria, Poland,Romania and Slovakia). They are moving rom one EUcountry to another (especially to England, Germany,Spain) or educational, nancial or social reasons.

This project has been unded with support rom theEuropean Commission. This publication refects theviews only o the author, and the Commission cannot beheld responsible or any use which may be made o theinormation contained therein.

The „E-bridge” partners:

Survival guide in your mobile phone. The possibility o ree downloading o 

les that in any lie situation can help you to communicate in a oreign country.

I you are on-line, contact with a partner o the country where you stay. They

will give you hints where to seek necessary inormation on search or jobs, to

which ofces go in order to handle administrative issues, where to eat good

and tasty ood.

We encourage all users o e-bridge

project to write a blog. Exchange

o opinions and experience will

certainly result in ideas regarding

mobility solutions.

What makes us different?

For the teaching purposes, WEB 2.0 type tools

will be used. Not only is our design a simple

inormation, but also a community cooperat-

ing or a superior purpose. We want to encour-

age users that our materials in audio and video

orm, concerning occupational mobility, in-

spire all persons using the project to exchange

experience and opinions concerning the oc-

cupational mobility. We will create an e-com-munity (Wiki) bound with a language course,

which will discuss and exchange inormation

concerning the most important issues: depar-

ture, work, ofces, everyday lie. Wiki will have

our language versions (Bulgarian, Polish, Ro-

manian, Slovak).

Every partner will be responsible or creation o a

blog (each o the partners will wrote a blog in its

mother tongue). A primary unction o the blog

will be inormation related to the labor market

in a particular country, ormalities and anything,

which is worth knowing when we think aboutchanging place o work and residence.

i Business – presentation o methods and ways o establishing

business contacts

i Apartments – where and how nd an apartment, how to enter into a

contract

i Ofces and ofcers – list o the most important ofces and mattersthat can be dealt in them

THAT IS HOW IT BEGAN

A common vision and development o 

the project results in the act that we, as

partners, must cooperate closely when

developing all its products. Our meet-

ing in March 2009 was an excellent op-

portunity to get to know co-partners

and become amiliar with the range o activities o each o them. We met in the

seat o the Higher School o Computer

Science, Management and Administra-

tion in Warsaw. One o more important

aspects o our meeting was rethinking

o the most eective methods o di-

using and promoting the project. To

reach the possibly broadest group or

which the project is intended, we had

to determine the target precisely.

Representatives o each partner pre-

sented scope o operations o our

units. Then a true brainstorm began.

We reached a conclusion that each

oreigner, apart rom problems with

knowledge o oreign languages, is

looking or a very important inor-

mation concerning culture o a given

country. An attempt to ind one’seet in a new, moreover international

environment, creates or most o us

a barrier which even beore a depar-

ture should be broken to the possibly

greatest extent.

During the discussion a ollowing ques-

tion has arisen: How to reach our target

public, which truly needs support with

regard to the occupational and lie

mobility. We have stated that we will

contact institutions, such as employ-

ment agencies, institutions mediating

in search or jobs that have a possibil-

ity to spread inormation among peo-

ple to whom the project is addressed.

We have decided that the course will

be available only on-line, moreover, it

is necessary to prepare computer sot-

ware that will make it possible to usecourse elements by means o dierent

models o mobile phones. This gives a

huge comort to students who need to

use course elements in an unexpected

lie situation.

Our meeting has resulted in a common

vision o the project and has been a ac-

tor motivating to a mutual support in

any activities, so that e-bridge recipients

would be satised and could make their

dreams o proessional and lie mobility

come true.
