The aim was to lower the threshold for participation in "mobility" projects in Europe for the city's pre-schools. Most kindergartens do not have the capacity to apply for grants themselves to send 2-4 teachers to courses in Europe, but by combining the trips of interested teachers and putting them together in one application, we were giving more pre-schools the opportunity to send their staff to such courses.
We applied for this project to give pre-school staff the opportunity to take part in a variety of structured training courses in Europe. By offering diverse opportunities for career development and by participating in diverse courses in Europe, we believe that we are improving the quality of teaching in the city's pre-schools and that the job satisfaction of those who work there is increasing.
