SCHOOL Teachers and Pupils MOBILITY across Europe

Within the framework of the KA1 of the Erasmus+ Programme, we are glad to offer a wide range of training courses and job shadowing opportunities aimed to the professional, social and cultural development of teachers and educators. In order to foster their key-role in boosting students learning and progress, towards the full development of the local community. Towards the innovation of European education.

Innovative and up-to-date methods and tools based on good practices and on a solid European evidence, a digital library of key-contents, trans-national classes, visit to local schools and meeting with their headmasters and teachers, together with a full and individual assistance, before during and after the mobility, are some of our added values.

Our trainings courses are held in different places of Italy (Rome, Naples, Padua, Amalfi Coast and Tropea), as well as in Vienna (Austria), Brussels (Belgium), Prague (Czech Republic), Copenhagen (Denmark), Helsinki (Finland), Paris (France), Berlin (Germany), Athens and Chania/Crete (Greece), Dublin (Ireland), Valletta (Malta), Lisbon (Portugal), Piran (Slovenia), Utrecht (Netherlands), Madrid and Barcelona (Spain).

METHODOLOGY

Our pedagogical methodology is based on the combination of both formal and non-formal education and seeks to stimulate the active participation, pro-activity, interaction and sharing of all participants involved, while fostering a clear European dimension. In this way, it aims to build a diverse and stimulating environment for reflecting, working and learning. This methodology is characterised by a set of diverse features and tools, such as:

  • appropriate balance of theory and practice
  • team-building and team-working
  • best practice case-studies
  • innovative, relevant and evidence-based contents
  • horizontal and practical approach
  • digital tools
  • blended learning
  • project based working
  • practical laboratory
  • brainstorming
  • role-play
  • self and group assessment and evaluation.

In order to encourage the practical cooperation and exchange between participants, as well as the sharing of their diverse school education systems, practices and experiences, sometimes they will be all together, sometimes with some other peers and sometimes alone, depending on the specific training programme and contents.

Regulary, our classes vary from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 20 participants, either primary or secondary school teachers and principals.

PREPARATION

After the confirmation and before starting, we check the previous knowledge and experience of participants, as well as their specific needs related to the topics of our training course. In addition, we will provide free access to our “Digital Library of Key-Contents” in order to start getting involved in topics and subjects that will be taught.

FOLLOW UP

All participants are expected to maintain access and communication with the rest of their colleagues as well as with the trainer and participate in useful discussions either through the virtual classroom platform and via e-mail. Trainers and company will also be available for any further questions for a period of 5 months after the end of the course, either through e-mail, virtual classroom platform, individual Skype calls, telephone or WhatsApp. By means of all these tools, we aim to get an effective follow-up, to stimulate peer networking, to keep in touch and to share opinions, experiences and practices for unlimited time.
