1. Introducion

This is a space for discussions and decisions about activities for the implementation of "Projekt elstudenter", a project between the Swedish company MicroSupport and the Mocambican company Grupo Chicomo.

The main idea of the project is to enable cooperation as well as knowledge and skill transfer between Sweden and Mocambique in the sector practical vocational training. The target group consists of students in the age span 18-21 years and older, studying to be electricians with specialization in electricity or electronics.

The training concept is "Learning by doing" through local production and use of elektronic training equipment, computer- and webbased instructions and learning packages and activities leading to authorization and preparing for self employment.

Initially is described the process during the 20:th of April 2009 to the 5:th of May 2009 when the responsibility for the future management of the project, production organization and regional marketing was handed over to the cooperation company in Mocambique, Grupo Chicomo.

This was done after development of computer based as well as paper based step-by-step work instructions in Potuguese, sending tools and material for fabrication of the "Basic unit 2000" as an introduction to the production of electronic training equipment and possibly also development of locally adapted traning equipment and course material.

The start of the production was followed up with a Pilot Study where the function of the developed instruction material was tested at the Industrial Intitute in Beira. A second production fase will include even the Industrial Institutes in Maputo and in Boane.

In Maputo it is planned that the assembling of the basic units will be done as a kind of practical work for some students, with beginning in August 2009, after more theoretical studies. How and when the assembling work will be organized in Beira and Matola is not yet decided. In this writing moment, the new material is not yet cleared at the customs in Maputo.
