MOBILITY PROJECT FOR SCHOOL EDUCATION STAFF

This mobility project can comprise one or more of the following activities:

- Teaching assignments: this activity allows teachers or other school education staff to teach at a partner school abroad;

- Staff training: this activity supports the professional development of teachers, school leaders or other school education staff in the form of: a) participation in structured courses or training events abroad; b) a job shadowing/observation period abroad in a partner school or another relevant organisation active in the field of school education.

These activities are also an opportunity for teachers to gain competences in addressing the needs of pupils with disadvantaged backgrounds. Given the current context concerning young migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, particular attention will be also given to support projects that train teachers in such areas as training refugee children, intercultural classrooms, teaching pupils in their second language, classroom tolerance and diversity.
