In overall, the aim of the project was to develop our working life connections and cultural competence. On an organizational level the purpose was also to strengthen the inner process of organizing international exchange and other activities to be able to meet needs in the future. We also wanted to continue the good co-operation with our already existing international partners. For staff mobility, the goal was to broaden the perspectives of teachers’ work and to gain new ideas and skills for different teaching methods and pedagogy. For student mobility, the goal was to support the professional growth and cultural competence of our students by providing them with opportunities to operate in international environment. This was seen as beneficial also for their future working life in which they encounter multiculturalism.
Peimari Group for Further Education and Training applied for Erasmus+ Mobility Grant in order to enhance its international activity and to enable students and teaching staff members to gain international experience, cultural competence and to create basis for life-long learning in multicultural environment. The purpose of the project was also to strengthen the already existing international partnerships and to develop solid international exchange process.
