This year, we embarked on our very own Accredited Project – 2024-1-PT01-KA121-VET-000209951 – as Coordinators, supporting mobility for learners and staff in vocational education and training.
For two weeks in May, we sent groups from two schools in the North of Portugal to Varna, Bulgaria and Torremolinos, Spain. Students enrolled in internship programmes related to their studies, in Catering, Socio-Cultural Entertainment, Communications, Tourism, and Informatics.
At the same time, teachers had the opportunity to do Job Shadowing and Training Course programmes, strengthening their knowledge and experience in Vocational Education and Training, while gaining international perspectives.
The cultural aspect of these mobilities was also crucial in creating global citizens and culturally aware professionals.
In October, we launched four dissemination events to officially conclude the project and share its results and impact. Across these sessions, participants showcased their experiences with Erasmus+ and reflected on the role of mobility in their personal and professional development.
This project demonstrated that European mobility continues to transform pathways, expand horizons and create new opportunities for learning and growth.
