The group was accompanied by Albu Olga Eleudora, the Romanian teacher.

Beneficiaries arrived in the morning on 29^th March 2009 with their own bus. Ula Stawowczyk from FUTURUM team picked them up. They checked in at their apartments.

On first day a group was taken for a guided tour through the city of Wrocław. They visited the modern centre as well as the old town, got to know the history of the city and the most popular places there.

During the first week they were introduced to their practical training tutors at Centrum Kształcenia Praktycznego (Practical Training Centre) in Wrocław, where they started their internships.The practical knowledge that the beneficiaries acquired during the programme, consisted of:

• producing electric operating systems specific to the domain
o reading the electric operating scheme.
o following all the accomplishment steps to produce the operating electric system
o measuring the functioning parameters: the intensity of the electric current, the electric tension, the operating motor rotation
• resistors and source circuits of c.c. :
o making the circuits
o measuring the tension at the components’ jacks
o measuring the circuit intensity
• measuring the circuit parameters:
o the real values of the tension of components’ jacks
• simulating the functioning of the circuits by using L@BSOFT programmes
• identifying protection apparatus, rotary conversion and low tension receivers
o safety, thermic relays, electromagnetic relays, automatic switches, relay switches, rotary converters, incandescence lamps, fluorescent amps, electric motors
• making low tension circuits with protection devices, rotary converters and receivers
• checking the functioning of the low tension circuits(maximum 220V)

Having acquired this knowledge, the beneficiaries obtained and developed a lot of new skills and competences:

• recognizing the components of an operating system specific to the domain: ensemble formed from electric motor, command installation, a movement transmission system, working machine
• recognizing the functional role of the operating system components specific to the domain: electric motor, working machines, movement transmission systems, motor command installation
• executing the functional connections from an operating system specific to the domain: electric and mechanic connections( assembling apparatus, operating motor, conductor/ connection cables)
• checking the continuity of the accomplished electric operation scheme: ohmmeter measurements and other methods
• executing connection maneuvers and the disconnection of the operation motor: the orders of the transformers apparatus
• measuring the operating parameters and comparing the anticipated results: the electric tension intensity, electric tension, rotation
• following the supervised operation system: visual observation
• executing the A.K. circuits with resistors, condenser, reel.
• measuring the circuit parameters
• simulating the circuit functioning using didactic software
• identifying protection apparatus, transformers and low tension receivers
• executing A.K. circuits such as the low tension ones with protection apparatus, transformers and receivers
• checking the functioning of A.K. low tension circuits
• to select the components of an operating system that are specific to the domain
• to produce the electric operating systems
• to supervise the functioning of the operating systems
• to make electric circuits of D.K. and A.K.
• to use the low tension A.K. apparatus

All students accumulated a lot of new skills connected with their interests and obtained a practical knowledge closely related with their education.


FUTURUM together with a language school El Universo have also organized during the weekend 10 hours of English language for the participants, which they all completed with excellent result. The students improved their communication skills in order to be able to fulfil their duties and to handle various situations in daily life.

The participants received short information about enterprise culture in Poland, relationships in Polish companies, information about the hierarchy and addressing of people in the first day of their stay.

During their free time beneficiaries were taken to different places in Poland. They visited the whole Lower Silesia region as well as Krakow and former concentration camp in Auschwitz. They gained information about the whole country, its customs and tradition. It gave them the overview of Polish culture and believes.

On Sunday, 19^th April the students travelled back to Romania.
