Mobility of VET learners and teachers – MobiVET

European activities provide opportunities for teachers and students to develop and reflect on the learning and teaching together with teachers and students from other schools and organizations. A project like this will allow teachers and students to work with partner schools and organizations in learning activities.

Through collaborative activities with colleagues from other countries, students will be able to go beyond the textbook and explore data, knowledge and experience directly and immediately. In this way, students develop intercultural understanding and gain new perspectives on their own learning. This project intends to meet the needs of the students, adapt what they have learned in practice, and develop professionally work-based skills in the field of their studies. The students will be able to enhance the career prospects and will have increased motivation for taking part in future (formal/non-formal) education or training after the mobility period abroad.

The teachers need to develop new and better teaching methods and innovative approaches to learning, especially in the practical training of the students; ability to promote the formal recognition of skills and competences acquired through professional development activities abroad; knowledge of the up-to-date information and new researches, as well as to develop a European dimension in school education.

This project aims to promote the training in several sectors, to promote environmental sustainability, to increase their practical application of knowledge through interactive and engaging activities, that will introduce best practices to integrate into their daily work., the employment, growth, and development of new skills through mobility experience.
