The project ‘EUROPE: MANY LANGUAGES, ONE VOICE’ engaged the total number of 146 students (181 including participating students from hosting countries) aged from 13 to 19 attending public secondary schools in 5 European countries: Austria, Poland, Hungary, Spain and France. They represented various social backgrounds and approximately 20% of them came from less privileged families with much restricted access to ICT facilities, including the Internet. Bearing that in mind, it was clear that they wouldn't have been able to get to know other countries and their respective cultures, make friends abroad, acquire knowledge on EU problems or learne foreign languages using modern media and ICT tools.The project aimed at developing the participants' language skills with regard to English, German from level A2 to level B2, acquired and developed ICT skills by both, teachers and students, applied new and innovative methods and techniques in foreign language teaching/learning (especially e-learning), created open-mindness towards other cultures, customs and beliefs; created equal opportunities for all learners especially for those with special needs or those coming from destitute and/or low-life background. The main project aim was to create innovative methods of foreign language teaching and learning. It created more effective ways of e-learning through multimedia and OLR in English and German. This goal was achieved by learning in virtual international groups (e-platform) with support provided by e-mentors, direct contact with native speakers and participation in 4 international intensive language workshops organised by the partner schools . The project activated and motivated students through the use of multimedia and ICT resources such as: computer software (e.g. i Tools), online publications, podcasts, videoclips, PowerPoint presentations etc. in a languages classroom. Products of the project included a ‘virtual library’ of OLR for learning/teaching English and German, published on the project blog site, training materials concerning innovative methods of language teaching and applied ICT tools to language learning/teaching. All of the above was made available on the project website, project blog, YouTube and Twinspace. The project resulted in the participants developing their key competences as well as their muticultural skills. They also expanded their knowledge of foreign cultures and highlights. What is more, local communities and school governing authorities had a better understanding of modern European educational systems and got actively involved in shaping the international cooperation in their local area.

This is a higher education student and staff mobility project, please consult the website of the organisation to obtain additional details.

"Having participated in previous programs of mobility, such as Leonardo Da Vinci, the IES La Flota decided to continue providing opportunities for their students in Vocational Studies to develop their professional practices in some other European countries throughout Erasmus +, with the clear objective to foster interchange, cooperation and mobility between education systems and training experiences within the European Union, in order to provide vocational students with nowadays required skills in the context of European employability, and to promote the learning of foreign languages.The project is aimed at 7 students of training cycles degree of professional families ""Administration and Management"", ""Hotel and Tourism"" and ""Food Industry"", with an average age of 25 years, being one of under eighteen.The main activities for the implementation and development of this project were:- Information to students.- Selection of participants.- Distribution of students in the host companies.- Preparation of documentation (agreements, training agreement, insurance).- Tracking mobilities.- Midterm and final through the ""mobility tool"" evaluation.- Evaluation of language skills through online platforms.- Preparation of the interim report and final project- Monitoring of students in the following have made their mobility, in order to assess the impact of it in the employment course.A very positive point of the Erasmus + project for Vocational Training Middle Grade, has been the increase in the amount of the grant received by participants, which has allowed agreements with new companies in some “high standard of living “countries, as well as has given an opportunity for students in disadvantaged economic scenario to do their vocational training period abroad. Likewise, the decision to offer the entire period of training in companies (FCT) abroad has been an aspect highly valued by students.Two of the students participating in the program continue working outside Spain, within the European Union, while others have decided to continue their studies in vocational training of higher degree, convinced that a complete vocational training is a must for their professional future.The positive impact of this project on students has been reflected in the fact that it has exceeded the number of applications received to participate in subsequent mobility projects."

<< Background >>The Edgar-Faure high school wished to carry out a European project with the school of Pforzheim around a watch face to transmit the different but complementary techniques of the two establishments as well as the cultural and linguistic wealth of the two countries. The aim of this application is to promote a know-how beyond borders and to create a moment of sharing around common values. This project was also an opportunity to reinforce the policy of international openness thanks to the Franco-German friendship that was shared between the students but also with the organizers and accompanying persons of this mobility.<< Objectives >>We wanted to allow the students to discover two different techniques, such as guillochage (Pforzheim) and laser engraving (Morteau). The students were thus able to discover a new establishment with the opportunity to exchange on the pedagogy but also to discover the cultural influence of the two cities in the field of watchmaking and jewelry (by visiting museums) and to learn/improve a new language (German/French).<< Implementation >>The activities were multiple and similar in both cities (Pforzheim/Morteau): - Discovery day of the school/city: the students were the ambassadors of their schools/cultures.- Museum days: discovery of the history of watchmaking/jewellery to better understand why our cities are (re)known as being full of heritage and history in the field of watchmaking/jewellery with the learners.- Weekend of sharing: Learners were able to spend time with their counterparts over meals/sports activities (water rides/skating...).- Technique discovery days: exchanges between learners, coaches and teachers (learning techniques and discovering machines)- Creation days: setting up of independent works and accompaniment of the students on the use of the techniques.- Project handing over day: moment of sharing around a feedback and photos with the headmasters, the coaches and the learners.<< Results >>The learners acquired new skills and basic language specific to their professional universe. They have created their dials with respect to the techniques (use of machines) and have appropriated them to create a unique product, which reflects their creativity and the alliance of two cultures. The students now have personal and professional contacts to return to the project site in their free time or during internships. They have also become ambassadors of Erasmus + mobility in our institution through their experiences and testimonies.

"This action supports physical and blended mobility of higher education students and staff from EU Member States and third countries associated to Erasmus+ to any country in the world. Students in all study fields and cycles can take part in a study period or traineeship abroad. Higher education teaching and administrative staff can take part in professional development activities abroad, as well as staff from the field of work in order to teach and train students or staff at higher education institutions.Mobility consortium descriptionObjectivesThe aims of the consortium of the Amiens and Lille Regional Education Authorities for European mobility in higher education (CIME_sup) meet the aims of both the partner high schools and education authorities:- Developing the mobility of higher education students in high schools which hold an Erasmus+ charter,- Using the grant in an optimal way thanks to the GIP (Group of Public Interest) of our regional education authority which will manage the consortium (GIP FORINVAL),- Creating and enhancing all European and international mobility projects in high schools or institutions,- Promoting courses and involved teams,- Improving the reputation of involved educational institutions,- Pursuing and amplifying the cooperation project between both education authorities of the Hauts-de-France region (common Erasmus+ consortia since 2017),- Pursuing the DAREIC-GIP FORINVAL teamwork within the Amiens educational authority (14 coordinated consortia since 2013),- multiplying mobility opportunities for students and staff within our regional territory - answering to the objectives of our educational authority project (""Mobility for successful and ambitious school careers"", name of a major objective of the whole 2018-2021 education project of the Amiens education authority – attached file).The objectives for the students are numerous:- Helping them to build (self-reliance) or pursue (actor) a European training process,- Providing them a greater employability, thanks to skills development, - promoting the benefits of learning mobility abroad, as well as the Erasmus+ programme, amongst companies in our area,- Highlighting and recognizing the training mobility (Europass and ECTS),- Fostering a sense of global citizenship through work, intercultural and linguistic experience,- Promoting well-being and developping motivation, ambition, and self-esteem of beneficiaries.
