Educating is like sowing: the fruit is not guaranteed and is not immediate, but if you don’t sow it is certain that there will be no harvest. Carlo Maria Martini, Letter to parents.
The host in Milan is once again very satisfied with the ICT students of JKHK. You can read thoughts about our cooperation and results on their websitelink opens on new page or here:
Alessandro: "As the unforgettable Cardinal Martini reminds us, educating is a bit like sowing, but why mention sowing, education and harvest in an article on Erasmus projects?
The answer is very simple: the seed is my visit, in 2016, to JKHK in Paide (Estonia), during which I illustrated to my IT colleagues the type of work we do at CFP Canossa in Milan (App for Android smartphones): being a topic they didn’t deal with at the time but which colleagues could include in their profile, they immediately expressed great interest.
Since then we have maintained contact and we have exchanged, thanks to the Erasmus projects, several visits involving both teachers and students.
As for the harvest, this year too we have the pleasure of hosting 5 JKHK students, with the now usual formula of hybrid mobility: in February we held a series of online lessons thanks to Google Meet during which we talked ( and not only) of the tools that the boys should have used once they arrived in Milan.
Since last March 2nd, having finally arrived in Italy, the students have been working on developing a series of Apps for smartphones able to solve, quickly and precisely, some situations of the daily reality of the CFP, from the management of courses for teachers, to the management of the Paninaggio service offered by the students of the Meal Preparation course, and much nore.
During these weeks Kairi, Andreas, Karl, Margo and Johannes also participated, as classroom tutors, in computer science lessons for the third year students of Business Services Operator: it was a great experience above all because, in a moment of classroom training, we have combined the use of the English language with computer skills and work organization.
Once again we were very impressed by the skills put in place by the Estonian students, therefore a heartfelt thanks also goes to the JKHK staff and in particular to Marleen, the Erasmus project manager, for having worked also this year to the realization of this mobility, we all hope that this collaboration will consolidate even more in the future!"
