ERASMUS +

Erasmus+ is the new EU programme 2014-2020 for education, training, youth and sport. This new programme also includes an action for “Mobility of learners and staff and involves opportunities for students, trainees, young people and volunteers, as well as for professors, teachers, trainers, youth workers, staff of education institutions and civil society organisations to undertake a learning and/or professional experience in another country”.
This action is part of KEY ACTION 1 – MOBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS and will set the rules for the international training and mobility action for the next seven years. This action is open for adult education and school staff.

The GINCO T&T project started as a Lifelong Learning project but the outcomes and materials are conceived and realized to serve the opportunities offered in Erasmus+.

As regards to staff the mobility activities are expected to produce the following outcomes:

• improved competences, linked to their professional profiles (teaching, training, youth work, etc.);
• broader understanding of practices, policies and systems in education, training or youth across countries;
• increased capacity to trigger changes in terms of modernisation and international opening within their educational organisations;
• greater understanding of interconnections between formal and non-formal education, vocational training and the labour market respectively;
• better quality of their work and activities in favour of students, trainees, apprentices, pupils, adult learners, young people and volunteers;
• greater understanding and responsiveness to social, linguistic and cultural diversity;
• increased ability to address the needs of the disadvantaged;
• increased support for and promotion of mobility activities for learners;
• increased opportunities for professional and career development;
• improved foreign language competences;
• increased motivation and satisfaction in their daily work.
