The Municipality of Odemira looks at education as a basic need of any individual, being understood as a priority action area that guarantees an excellent education for all, from pre-school to secondary education. The first project, approved in 2017, was a huge success for the region and for the participants. Through this, 59 Mobilities of Structured Courses and Job Shadowing were carried out. It was therefore unanimously decided on the importance of presenting a new edition, with the team having a more solid knowledge about the management of international mobility, given the strong support that the project had and above all due to the continuous and renewed needs in the educational scenario. We also wanted to continue our international cooperation activity, within the scope of a joint strategy between the City Council and School Groups. The AJE+ II Project - Learning Together with Erasmus is the 2nd project promoted by the Consortium, coordinated by the Municipality of Odemira and having as sending entities: Colos School group, Odemira School group, Vila Nova de Milfontes School group, São Teotónio School group, Saboia School group and Colégio Nossa Senhora da Graça.
