This project involved collaboration between three schools in Poland, Germany, and Spain. Students worked in international teams to create dictionaries in economics, sales processes, and business correspondence in four languages. They also presented their home towns and local products. Students directly collaborated at meetings, recording sales conversations in Polish-German groups and practicing job interviews. The outcomes created useful educational materials, and the project received several awards for its vocational focus and collaboration between partner schools.
