"PERCORSI PER LE COMPETENZE TRASVERSALI E L'ORIENTAMENTO (PCTO)"
Also for the 2024/2025 school year the activity carried out - both in preparation and during carrying out a PEG event - can be recognized by the students of the Institute delegation for the purposes of the "Paths for transversal skills and orientation".
​
It is necessary to stipulate an agreement between the interested Institutes and our Association, the model of which is directly provided by the Association itself to the registered Institutes. The duration of the Agreement is one year from signature and remains valid for all events organized by our Association in the aforementioned period, for all students of the Institute.
​
Preliminary work
The Preselection phase cannot be certified due to the absence of an external tutor during the course of the work; therefore the activities will be calculated together with the first useful event in which the Institute delegation will participate: the national team in case of passing the pre-selection, another PEG event (Regional Session, EYPx, GA Day etc ...) or of Understanding Europe, in case the Institute does not pass the preliminary phase. In the latter case, the school delegation will be offered, where there is availability, the possibility of taking part in an event, thanks to which they will be able to certify the hours of presence
Counting of hours
Participating with a PCTO agreement in a National Selection Conference (NSC) means receiving a certificate with a number of hours that includes: Preselection hours + preparation hours for the national team + 8x hours (with x corresponding to the days of the NSC itself).
