Ribot i Serra is a public educational and vocational school located in the southern area of the city of Sabadell (Barcelona). The center has a staff of about 70 teachers and 800 students. In addition to teaching ESO and Baccalaureate courses, the center offers Vocational Educational and Higher Education courses of Beauty and Make-up and Social Services. RIbot i Serra already carried out student mobilities and received students from Germany and France through the Xarxa-FP. Last year the school was awarded with the ECHE charter, that allows to carry out mobilities for Higher Education students. The main objectives of our Internationalization plan and for the development of this project were: - To fight school drop-out, the demotivation of students and teaching staff, as well as to fight the high unemployment rate that students face when they finish their studies. -To promote training in values such as interculturality, respect, tolerance and the autonomy of the students. - Facilitate the development of key competences for students and teaching staff, among which we highlight the foreign language learning, professional competences related specifically to students' studies, social skills that will help them in their personal development. - Make mobility more accessible for learning purposes. The project includes two types of activities - Mobility of students for traineeship - Mobility of teaching and administrative staff for training There have been 16 mobilities of students and 2 of teaching staff divided into two flows: June 2017 and June-July 2018.The students and professors of the different specialties of VET that are taught in the center participated in the selection process: - CFGM in Hairdressing and Hair Cosmetics - CFGM in Aesthetics and Beauty - CFGM in Attention to People in Situation of Dependence The criteria of the selection process were made so that students and staff from the center with a good record could participate, who were also committed, wanted to learn, took advantage of the experience, were prepared at the level of autonomy and maturity to participate in the Mobility. For the preparation of the students on a personal, cultural and linguistic level, a training was carried out through formal and non-formal methods.The student's follow-up was carried out through a host tutor in the hosting country during all the mobility, and the Erasmus coordinator with the support of the Mundus Association through continuous communication via direct messages and video-conference. This monitoring was controlled and supervised by the center. The project has had an important impact among students and teachers, promoting the values ​​of mobility, learning new languages ​​and knowledge of new cultures, respect, tolerance, and the development of personal and professional skills. The center has learned to manage projects in a more autonomous way and made us also bet on sharing learning together with 15 centers in a Consortium (PLATMOVCAT) and apply for a project as coordinators of a consortium of the geographical area of Vallés (Barcelona province) in 2019. In the long term, we want to combat unemployment and school dropouts and, as a center, improve quality and support the internationalization and innovation of educational institutions.

1) Context and objectives La Ferreria VET High School is facing the following needs of their students: lack of transversal and work-oriented skills, school absenteeism and drop out, cultural ignorance. To address these needs, the Center developed an internationalization plan. The first step of the plan is a project of 2 international mobilities : one VET learners traineeship in companies abroad and a staff/teacher training abroad. The main aim of the project is to wider the professional profile of the students, motivate them with new challenges, and to offer more innovative teaching methods, through the mobility of teachers. 2) Number and profile of the participants - Students: 20 students' mobility of 3 specialities in 2 years, in Italy, Greece, Slovenia, Poland. Profile: students committed to Erasmus +, capable of complying with the delivery of documentation and deadlines, who show the will to improve their knowledge of a foreign language, and who behave in class and in their environment. - Teachers: 6 teacher mobilities (the same host countries as students). The profile of these participants: good curriculum, motivation, commitment to students and the project. 3) Specific activities and objectives 20 Student mobilities to carry out internships in companies with the aim of: - develop their competences, both professional and transversal, including their self-esteem, autonomy and maturity. - Improve their language skills, and above all, their knowledge of English and their communicative skills. - Gain work experience and more chances of success in their job search. - Reduce school failure and dropout. - Improve their intercultural experience and develop European awareness. 6 Teacher mobility for each of the partner countries of the project. Aims: - Improve the foreign language level - Importing more innovative teaching methods and techniques - Add safety and support to student mobilities - Meet the host partners in person, as well as the conditions of accommodation and practices. 4) Methodology. The partners of the organization are the following: - Mundus Association, as a partner sending organization, will manage mobilities, training and documentation. - Intermediary partners: they will manage the reception, the deal with the company of internships, and will help with the student's follow-up, reports and documentation. They are Slovenian High School, Poland ONG, Italian cooperative and a Greek formation center 5) Results, impact and long-term benefits. Past experiences tell us that the mobility of students is often a positive experience. Students improve their self-esteem and autonomy, they feel more prepared to face future challenges, and even they become more interested in other cultures and languages and later they become more willing to participate in educational projects. In spite of our dissemination activities, the biggest impact on the students is given by the participants on their return: their stories about their experience, the change they have experienced, their learning, the improvement in their social skills. It is the greatest impact on future participants, and it helps that each year more students and teachers are interested in participating in educational mobility projects.

"his coordinated EVS project ""Moove and Change!"" had for goal to send 8 young people in 3 different hosting projects for long term missions in order to give them the opportunity for to participate in an EVS project in a reassuring and well structured context with partners of good quality. These missions will allow the volunteers to develop a consciosness of solidarity and engagement in different topics and that regard different environments. They will be enabled to bring their energy, ideas and creativity to elderly with organizing free time activities for them, protecting the environment, develop journalism ideas connected to media, but also social activities that will correspond to the needs that the young people have noted for them to be useful. They will also be able to develop a european consciousness - to become conscientious that elsewghere the solutions for the same problems are different despite the fact that the same problems are present in more than one european countries. We would also like to coordinate this EVS project with two partners from the program countries - Spain, Italy and Greece. -The association GEPEC, in Spain (that works with protection of nature and information about environmental issues) - long term volunteer. Associacio de Voluntaris del Tarragones (AVT), Residencia « La Merce» in Spain (Residence for elderly people) - hosting long term volunteers. Praxis, Greece (Association that supportes youth engagement through media) hosting four long term volunteer. Suport, (a residence for disabled adults) in Spain hosting one long-term volunteer. Residencia Casa Di Riposo, in Itay (Residence for elderly people) - hosting long term volunteer. The goal is to facilitate the access of young people for these actions, more specifically, one of the most important elements of the Erasmus + program in proposing long term missions (around 7 mois) of volunteering in order to answer to the needs of the young people who wants to go abraod for a medium period.This coordinated project will consolidate our partnership with certain hosting stuctures in Europe, hoping to develop a continuous quality of the projects of sending and hosting volunteers and in guaranteeing good access to young people that might be concerned by the EVS program. We would like to send our volunteers to projects of good quality with partners that share our same vision of what EVS is, regarding learning processes and follow up procedures, mainly for our volunteers in the social domain and environmental protection. Our devotion to follow up for our volunteers is based on the knowledge of volunteers, their confidence that is certaiinly established between us as a structure and the engagement that is a connecting link through all the steps of the project."

Since the year 2014, , we have started our Erasmus + experience with the signing of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education in IES Octavio Cuartero high school. In the school year 2015-2016, our teachers decided to carry out a job-shadowing mobility in Italy to open borders and establish future mobilities for Vocational Studies students of the three training families at school: Health and Caring, Sociocultural and Community Services and Administration and Management.Later on, we applied for a KA-102 in the year 2017, so six graduates and second-year students of the 3 professional families carried out their training periods in Italian enterprises, in Forlí, for 45 days between May and June that year (Travelling for Learning Project). It was a complete success, so we were encouraged to start up with a new project for the following year. The current project Travelling, Discovering and Growing, starting the year 2018 consists of 12 student mobilities for graduates in the three VET families for a 40 day- stay together with two companion teachers staying 4 days, too.The main aims of the project have been the following ones: developing personal competences (higher level of autonomy, making decisions, getting along with other people, travelling abroad, adapting to new circumstances and finding out about a new culture and customs) developing professional competences (new methodologies, ability to adjust to new situations and professional improvement) and finally, adquiring lingüistic competences to improve their job and future opportunities. The 12 mobilities in the current project have been organised in the following way:-School year 2018-2019: 6 student mobilities to carry out their training in an enterprise in Forlí, together with a companion teacher.-School year 2019-2020: we began the mobility arrangements to carry out the other remaining mobilities (6), but in February 2020 the project was interfered by COVID -19 lockdown in Italy and then, in Spain.Regarding the 2018 mobilities, they were organised as followed:-2 graduates from the Health and Caring Vocational Studies developed their voluntary training in an old people´s home for 40 days with positive results. -2 students from the Sociocultural and Community Services Vocational Studies carried out their compulsory training to get their certificate in disable people´s centres where they developed their training successfully.-2 students from the Administration and Management Vocational Studies carried out their compulsory training to get their certificate where they also got their aims. All students developed their personal and professional competences established and found out about a new culture and a different perspective of job reality. They also appreciated this Erasmus + oppportunity positively.Unfortunately, for this school year 2019 -2020 we couldn´t go on with the rest of the mobilities awarded, due to COVID-19 lockdown both in Italy and Spain, so all the process was interrupted with the partner agencies. Furthermore, we also followed SEPIE instructions about the risk of travelling to the affected areas identified by the competent authorities, so we can excuse them according to the force majeure clause( Clause II.1 about General Conditions of the Grant Agreement). For this reason, at first, we considered the possibility of restart the Project for the next school year. However, the students chosen this year got their certificate and they desire to go on in Higher Vocational Studies for the next 2020-2021 school year. Furthermore, the comission members of the mobility at school considers that carrying out new mobilities for next year can not be workable due to a new outbreak of the virus next autum. We have to remind that our students are developing their training in high risk centres such as old people´s homes, health centres and hospitals. About the impact of the six first mobilities completed, we can say that it was as we expected. The students were satisfied and the partner agencies and teachers, too. The participants ´ adaptation to the enterprises was positive and the enterprises themselves acquired new working methods. So, personal experiences were fully enriched. The high school has also valued this experience in a positive way and currently, there are many people, families, teachers and students that are becoming familiar to this Erasmus + programme. Our Secondary School colleagues are developing a KA-101 in the years 2019-2021 due to our good results. We would like to continue with the projects involving all the school community in the future.

The project European Active Generations was born from the long lasting cooperation between Uniser (CO) and three nursing homes Casa di Riposo Pietro Zangheri; Fondazione Don Baronio and Casa di Riposo Arturo Fracassi (HOs). The project has created the opportunity for 7 young people from 4 European countries (France, Germany, Portugal and Spain) to involve volunteers in nursing homes and get stimulated by getting closer with elderly people. The project started from the consideration that young people in Europe face many difficulties especially when they enter the labor market, in fact, youth unemployment, the perception of the economical crisis, and the refugee crises contribute on one side to the NEET phenomena and on the other to the raising distrust in European Institutions. Therefore the main objective of the project was to contrast the NEET phenomena and foster integration through the informal learning opportunity of EVS. The partners had set 3 specific objectives: 1) To provide young people with skills and competences for their personal and professional development2) To increase sense of EU citizenship and EU values both in participants and local community 3) To reinforce the cooperation between local and European organisations. The volunteers involved have participated in one of the biggest event of the city “La Settimana del Buon Vivere” (https://settimanadelbuonvivere.it). This week is full of events around the theme of the well-being and the culture. Numerous cultural events take place in this occasion, seminars and debates with famous Italian figures are also on the program. This event was a great opportunity for the volunteers to immerse themselves into the Italian culture.Casa di Riposo Pietro Zangheri hosted in total 3 volunteers for 8 months each: Rodrigo Inès from Concordia Aquitaine, Ruiz Alfonso from Asociacion MUNDUS and Mora Meret Fee from IJLB.Fondazione Don Baronio hosted in total 2 volunteers for 8 months each: Zafrilla Ortiz Judith from Asociacion MUNDUS and Kindler Nicole from VIIA; and 1 volunteer for 3 months: Vasconcelos Gameiro Nuno from Associação Mais Cidadania,Casa di Riposo Arturo Fracassi hosted in total 1 volunteer for 8 months: Pisabarros Herrezuelo Juan Carlos from Asociación ÁGORA CULTURAL, Although these three organisations have different characteristics, the volunteers' role, the activities proposed and the learning opportunities offered were approximately the same: The volunteers were mainly involved in the animation activities addressed to the elderly people of the nursing homes. They helped them during their displacements inside and outside the building and supported the staff with the meals distribution.As previous occasions have showed, this project impacted elderly people of the nursing homes, it improved the quality of their lives through the presence of young and motivated European volunteers. The volunteers, have been a bridge between elderly and youngsters, they brought benefit to these two target groups, involving them in a mutual intercultural exchange through dialogue and helped elderly and adults to overcome stereotypes about different cultures. The volunteers were recruited after the approval of the application, when the Hosting Organisations and Uniser, in cooperation with Sending Organisations evaluated and selected the candidatures received. All volunteers have been asked to become promoters of EVS and Erasmus+ programme, of EU, its initiatives, opportunities and positive values, in order to ensure a significant impact of the project on communities involved, raising positive awareness and boosting new participation in the Programme.
