Ahi Evran University which was established in the year 2006, runs this kind of project since 2007. The objective of the institution is to exchange students and staff with different higher education institutes of differen countries and proceed to intenationalisation which is one of the primary task of higher education institutions.The University thinks that all of the Exchange Programs are important steps for the internationalisation of theInstitution. In 2014, 22 students and 6 academic staff benefited from the student and staff mobility. 3 of the staff had staff training activity and the rest 3 had staff mobility for teaching. Both the staff and the students returned with positive feedback.The exchange programme helped them to share and experience different academic backgroud as well as alleviating the prejudiced discriminations among various countries at higher education level and also enabled various nations to understand each other in Europe. The University has not had incoming students until now however our efforts to arouse interest in our institutions are going on. The university goes on its public relations and promotion activities under the coordination of Foreign Affairs Office which is responsible for international exchange programmes and Bologna Process. Hence the university consider the project very important and aims to benefit from the project preeminently in the longer-term.The advantages of studying at any cycle of higher education become visible by means of this project and this situationcreates an encouraging effect on candidate students. Moreover , as the program enable the students to circulate internationally , it constitute the perception that being an higher education graduate has positive effects on them. It is thought that this situation contribute to increase of number of our students? and accordingly the number of graduates. As the project provide opportunity for international experience, the institutions define their inadequacies by comparing with each other , and they can improve the quality and relevance of teaching and researcher training by patterning each other. Moreover, the institutions serve as a model for each other to equip graduates with the knowledge and core transferable competences they need to succeed in high-skill occupations. We think that our institution will receive a share from these positive contributions to improve the quality and relevance of teaching and researcher training, to equip graduates with the knowledge and core transferable competences they need to succeed in high-skill occupations. Our participation to the project will also contribute to provide more opportunities for students to gain additional skills through study or training abroad, and to encourage cross-border co-operation to boost higher education performance. It is thought that the knowledge and skills gathered by our students and staff from the experiences abroad are very important in order to improve the quality of higher education. Hence, our institute aims to improve the opportunities to study and to teach abroad for its students and staff. Especially in the scope of Bologna Process,there has been and will be some actions to improve the curriculum of higher education by gathering students, academicians and enterprises . On the other hand, the university and enterprises keep together in the scope of different projects by taking the needs of the region into consideration to meet these needs and to cooperate for positive contribution to European Dimension. It is attempted to take part in various subsutructure projects relating to our institution profiting by EU funds . The main purpose of these projects is to construct the social opportunities which are mentioned in Bologna Process too. Additionally, with the help of EU funds and national funds , there are studies at the institution to increase the capacity of mobility andresearch.

The EU COMMISSION puts special emphasis on the promotion of a better health status among EU citizens, which is highlighted in the EU strategy in the field of health for the period 2014-2020, which shows that the maintenance of a healthy population will also have a beneficial impact on productivity and competitiveness in the EU.At the same time, the Europe 2020 strategy aims at increasing access to health care for people on low incomes, to reduce social differences within the EU.Starting from here, the project aimed to achieve a fruitful collaboration between 6 European institutions in various fields (adult education, health and social assistance, training centers ,municipalities, NGOs ) regarding the experimentation and application of innovative methods and strategies for the education/training of informal in-home caregivers of ante pre-school children. Each partner brought in this project their own national experience and the type of training methods that exist in their country in this sector.The project addressed the adults provide care for ante pre-school children at home (parents,grandparents, relatives and other people) as well as the staff members and institutions in this field. Thus, in mobilities there involved 111 people in the partner institutions, but the number of those involved indirectly in the project exceeded 3000. The project aims were to contribute to the education of adults who provide care for ante pre-school children at home (especially those from disadvantaged families, who do not have the possibility to turn to specialized institutions or individuals) to help them to acquire and improve their skills in this field. By various activities:researches,counseiling,traning ,symposia,seminariesThe project aimed also to develop an innovative program of training, applicable at European level and to promote good practices for informal in-home caregivers of ante pre-school children, but also to increase the quality of the cregivers’ life and to ensure support, training and psychological counselling. The project activities educated the caregivers basic things in providing care for children whom they supervise, but also how to handle stressful situations. The project activities included 2 training courses for staff (in Poland and Italy ) and one blended mobility for learners (Italy ) at European level ,and a traning course for learners at local level in every partner institution, an international symposium, 2 transnational meetings in Spain, workshops, technical visits and seminars . The exchange of knowledge, experiences and good practices at European level were a tool for the future sustainability of the activities related to the educational support for the in-home caregivers for children.The first step was the participation of the staff members to learning activities regarding methods and strategies for training and support for in-home caregivers of ante pre-school children. The second step was experiencing /applying this methodology in each partner institution. Planning, implementation and evaluation of these activities were carried out through meetings between partners, as well as through a periodic interaction through ICT and video-conferences.The project objectives :-to improve competencies of staff that provide education & training for in-home caregivers of ante pre-school children-to improve skills (for care children , linguistic,to learning to learn ,emotional,ICT ,intercultural ,civic,social ,so on ) and to provide support to the in-home caregivers of ante pre-school children by creating possibilities for training and therapy for them-to create assessment material to test the quality of life and the difficulties of in-home caregivers for ante pre-school children; -to test the quality of life of in-home caregivers in order to identify the need for possible support for the caregiver;-to create material that could be used for teaching some basic elements in educating in-home caregivers of ante pre-school children, to publish them and to disseminate them in order to be used at European level by those interested (adult education institutions, care centres, so on)-to experiment innovative strategies of education/training for caregivers within pilot courses-to provide a social network for informal in-home caregivers- to ensure research/dissemination of the best practices in this field at European level in the education of in-home caregivers of ante pre-school childrenThe short-term impact were a European exchange of best practices in the field and development of an innovative programme for education/ training, applicable at EU levelThe medium and long-term impact were to improving the quality of caregivers’ life, increasing their competences and also those of the staff members who educate them, as well as the training provided by the institutions and experts in the field. The outcomes of the project ( guide, handbook, website ) maximized its impact.
