Living an experience abroad is one of the most important training events for young people.
With a period of study and visit to another European school, short or long, each young person has the opportunity to experience moments of growth, knowledge, comparison and sharing. They have the opportunity to develop new skills and, obviously, learn about new cultures and make many new international friends.
School students have the opportunity to participate in individual or group projects, but it is in any case important to know that it is the schools that have to take a series of formal steps in order to allow their students to participate. It is not possible to apply independently on your own.
La group mobility can last from 2 to 30 days, with at least two students per group in addition to their chaperones.
The individual mobility of short term can last from 10 to 29 days, excluding travel; while individual mobility long lasting can last from 1 month to 1 year.
To participate in this action, the sending school must apply for an Erasmus+ accreditation in the school education sector or participate in a short-term mobility project.
In both cases, organizations must comply with quality standards for mobility projects on good management practices, providing support to participants and sharing results and knowledge on the programme. These “quality standards” are clearly described in the documents available on the European Commission website.
In the case of individual mobility of students, in addition to periods of study at other schools, it is possible to carry out a training at another organisation, always in a State other than that of residence. In any case, for each participant, a individual learning program.
Both for group and individual mobility, the EU grant it covers travel and accommodation costs and is managed by the school. The Erasmus+ program also provides adequate contributions to support the inclusion of participants with fewer opportunities.
Mobility projects for school students are managed by individual National Agencies, who also take care of the accreditation of schools.
