INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS aims at extending and transferring the INTERMOVE model developed by previous project (http://inter-move.eu/en/home/) to other partner organizations active in mobility programmes in Italy, Portugal, France, Ireland and Spain. The former Erasmus+ project INTERMOVE developed from 2015 to 2017, tackled two of the main barriers to mobility such as cross-cultural issues and foreign language knowledge by developing and implementing a new training pathway to prepare participants on Mobility projects by including the Intercomprehension of French, English, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish as a tool to follow an intercultural preparation. INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS takes a step further by developing an innovative specialized training for trainers programme that will not only will allow partner organizations to train their mobility participants (pre-departure and/or upon-arrival) but train other third organizations on the INTERMOVE model and certify them with the INTERMOVE label, becoming INTERMOVE experts and multipliers of this model. In addition, INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS will develop a Network to extend the INTERMOVE label to third organizations by the testing of the specialized training of trainers programme to other key mobility actors in Europe. This will also increase the capacity of the institutions to work following the same quality standards with their counterparts that will be also entitled to follow the same system. For this purpose, the partnership of INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS is composed by 11 organizations active in mobility projects and involves two types of partners. First of all, it involves the 5 partners who have participated in the previous project INTERMOVE: INCOMA (Spain), IFOA (Italy), UCP (Portugal), CU (France) and ITT (Ireland) who will bring to the project their expertise with the INTERMOVE model. Second, organizations have been added to this new partnership: La Salle and Sopeña (Spain), IPV (Portugal), ENAIP VENETO (Italy), AO (France) and UL (Ireland). The project will produce the following innovation outputs: - O1. INTERMOVE specialized training for trainers programme. - O2. INTERMOVE Network. The following multiplier events will take place: - E1. National information session in Spain. - E2. National information session in Portugal. - E3. National information session in Italy. - E4. National information session in France. - E5. National information session in Ireland. - E6. INTERMOVE Final Conference. In addition, the project foresees the following transnational training sessions: - C1. Transnational training sessions of trainers in Viseu (Portugal). - C2. Transnational training sessions of trainers in Seville (Spain). Regarding the methodology and activities of the project, for the development and preparation of the INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS training programme, former INTERMOVE partners will work in a collaborative way through the creation of 2 working groups: one focused on Intercomprehension and a second one focused on Interculturality. The implementation of the INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS specialised training programme will include international learning activities as 2 trainings according to the main two topics: Intercomprehension and Interculturality will be organised. Former INTERMOVERS will train a minimum of 2 participants from the other 6 partner organisations according the working groups created (1 facilitator per former partner organisation will be involved in the organisation of the training). A session with stakeholders and associated partners will be organised in each country to present the project, share main relevant issues and goals, deepen the knowledge sharing on the main concepts in each partner country and attract these organizations to participate in the Network and training to third organizations. Finally, a Final Conference of the project will take place in order to present the INTERMOVE model and label and attract new organizations to participate at the INTERMOVE Network.
INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS aims to extend and transfer the INTERMOVE model developed by the previous project to other organisations active in mobility programmes in Italy, Portugal, France, Ireland and Spain. Taking into account the previous INTERMOVE project (2015-1-ES01-KA202-015884), which addressed 2 of the main barriers to educational mobility: intercultural issues and foreign language skills, by developing and implementing a new training pathway to prepare participants in mobility projects including intercomprehension as a tool for intercultural preparation, INTERMOVE for TRAINERS was devised to extend and transfer the results. INTERMOVE FOR TRAINERS goes a step further by developing an innovative specialised training programme for trainers which has not only enabled partner organisations to train their participants in mobility, but also to train third party organisations in the INTERMOVE Model and to certify them with the INTERMOVE Label, becoming INTERMOVE experts and multipliers of this model. The consortium is composed of 11 organisations active in mobility projects and has 2 type of partners: the 5 partners that have participated in INTERMOVE: INCOMA (ES), IFOA (IT), UCP (PT), CU (FR) and ITT, now MTU, (IE) who have brought their experience with the INTERMOVE model to the project; and the new partners who have joined: La Salle and Sopeña (ES), IPV (PT), ENAIP VENETO (IT), AO (FR) and UL (IE). Throughout its 30 months (initial 24 months and 6 months of extension by COVID-19), the partners have managed to meet all the objectives. Thus, the contents of the training programme on intercomprehension and interculturality (INTERMOVE Model) have been prepared and adapted to the online format due to the pandemic. The structure of the programme and its implementation and evaluation methodology, addressed to trainers and facilitators working with participants in mobility programmes for training and education, have been realised. These contents are available in all project languages on the following platform: http://intermove-training.eu/. A training for trainers has been developed in 2 parts, a 1st one organised by UCP and ITT in Viseu (PT) and a 2nd one organised by INCOMA, IFOA and CU in Seville (ES). This training was attended by participants from the new partners of the project, having trained a total of 15 professionals working in the management of mobilities in this 1st phase, who have the necessary skills to deliver the INTERMOVE training to other professionals from other entities equally active in this field, achieving a great multiplier effect. These new partners were awarded the INTERMOVE Label which recognises the capacity of organisations active in training mobilities to follow the INTERMOVE methodology for the preparation of participants. These entities have replicated the training with new entities that have become part of the INTERMOVE Network and have obtained their INTERMOVE Label. A total of 83 facilitators, teachers and trainers participated in the training and 48 new institutions were awarded the INTERMOVE Label. On the other hand, the INTERMOVE Network has been developed and given a great boost thanks to the commitment of the partners, ratified by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the commitment of all partners to maintain the Network and to carry out new editions of the training, as well as the conditions for new members to join and to obtain the INTERMOVE Label is expressed. These issues are reflected in this section of the website: http://inter-move.eu/about/intermove_network/. This will increase the ability of institutions to work to the same quality standards as their counterparts, who will be entitled to follow the same system. Dissemination has been another strong point of this project, as one of the objectives was to provide a multiplier effect for the INTERMOVE Model. All partner countries have organised information sessions (more than 350 people). Biannual Newsletters have been sent out (more than 110 interested parties), the website http://inter-move.eu/ has been promoted, viewed by more than 1000 people, a Facebook profile has been kept active, with more than 135 followers and 7319 views. INTERMOVE for TRAINERS has been presented in 2 International Conferences: abstract extended by IPV in INVTUR in May 2021, and participation of INCOMA in the EFVET International Conference in June 2021, where the project was analysed as an example of good practice. We cannot forget the resilience of the consortium and the adaptation of the project to the circumstances of the global pandemic, making adjustments to continue executing all the activities virtually, when it has not been possible to carry them out in person.
