On October 25, 2016, Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences presented its wide range of programs for high school students at a conference in Liberec. The “NEISSE-ELEKTRO” Electrical Engineering Olympiad was highlighted as an exemplary event showcasing cross-border cooperation between schools in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. First organized in 1995, the Olympiad has since been attended by more than a thousand high school students. Numerous events and workshops with students, as well as meetings with teachers from these countries, have been held since then. These activities have fostered cross-border relationships while also highlighting differences and obstacles.
The conference organizers are collaborating on the GEMINI project (“a GEMeinsame INIative”). They aim to promote opportunities for students, apprentices, college students, and employers by offering counseling services in the field of cross-border career guidance. The labor market is to be mapped and presented as a regional area on both sides of the national border. Support and inspiration are provided both through professional development programs for teachers and counselors and through joint camps with German and Czech students. Conferences are intended to facilitate the exchange and discussion of potential solutions. Resources are being developed and made available to teaching staff, counselors, and companies.
