1. ContextThe beneficiary institution has been lacking of international dimension. The school community’s interest in joining European programs has increased over the last few years, though only implemented in carrying out internships and practices abroad as CIFP Los Gladiolos cooperation activities have grown for students and staff within the Erasmus+ actions. The staff is interested in improving students’ quality training and new learning methods observing the real needs of the labour market and job providers in the environmental sector, specifically control of invasive alien species. And also in contrasting validation and qualification of professional competences a5. Results, impact and benefitEl principal resultado fue la elaboración de un curso on-line con material de autoaprendizaje en inglés y español sobre especies invasoras, de libre acceso para estudiantes, profesorado, técnicos medioambientales y público en general. Se encuentra alojado en la web del CIFP Los Gladiolos, con garantía de estabilidad de 4 años y mantenimiento/actualización por parte de la institución coordinadora. Ha habido una transferencia de resultados puesto que los socios se encuentran incorporando dichos materiales a sus webs corporativas, y las instituciones socias con competencias en educación ambiental (Cabildo de Tenerife y Gobierno de Canarias) se han mostrado dispuestas a acoger las propuestas recogidas en dicho curso (bloque 4) e incorporar algunas de ellas a la gestión y, en su caso, normativa referente a especies invasoras a nivel regional. También se halla en proceso de creación la asociación profesional de educación ambiental Maresía, compuesta en parte por algunos de los alumnos participantes en el proyecto, que ha ayudado a poner las bases de dicha asociación. Finalmente, el CIFP Los Gladiolos ha sido galardonado por el Gobierno de Canarias como centro embajador ECIE por su trayectoria internacional en los últimos años, a la que esta asociación estratégica ha contribuido decisivamente.cquired through non formal education. Finally, the project is aimed at improving linguistic competence in English between professionals and users.The school community perceives the need for internationalization by enhancing experience in formative traineeships and mobility in Europe. And in the long run, to provide training offer in English in some studies (environmental) making use of the school’s autonomy as an integrated institution (CIFP) operated by law.The Project would contribute to develop international dimension through mobility and exchange actions by students in higher education institutions like the University of the Azores. Quality learning, employability and interaction between labour and learning would be available by means of validation of professional abilities acquired through informal, digital and open learning.2. Goals- To promote quality and excellence in innovation and internationalization fostering transnational cooperation- To improve students’ competence and employability establishing links between labour and training- To foster language learning, linguistic diversity and cultural awareness 3. Participants’ profilea) Students: 14 people of both genders from environmental education (TECA) aged between 18 and 40, level of Baccalaureat or even college studies.b). Staff: teachers from the TECA department of the beneficiary institution.4. Description of activities Two activities were implemented in Azores and Belgium: a transnational meeting and a learning activity (combined mobility)The transnational meetings were aimed at preparing the field program of the students’ mobility to be carried out later. In the second the participants were able to learn on site the invasive species issue. In Azores, through an expert panel, the students presented their experience on the issue in the Canary Islands as well as the methods learned at the activity. The Portuguese partner made available their expertise on invasive species through a smartphone application and the students will make proposals to improve control methods. The main outcome was the elaboration of an on-line course with a self-learning material in English and Spanish about Invasive Alien Species. The course is free and open licensed for students, teachers and environmental staff, and also for the general public. Allocated at the CIFP Los Gladiolos webpage with a 4 year-sustainability by the hosting institution. The results were transferred since the partners are incorporating the materials to their corporate webpages, and the institutions with environmental competences (Tenerife Island Council and the regional government) has shown interest in exploring changes in management or even regulations by studying the project proposals on invasive alien species. On the other side, a professional association for environmental education (Maresía) is being created partly by project students. Finally, the beneficiary institution has been awarded as an ECIE
