Our center was created in the 2019-20 academic year, it comes from the IES Pau Casesnoves, which had a successful track record in European mobility projects, in its end-of-year reports the importance of the Erasmus program and its positive effects were highlighted. Currently, the mobility committee, the management team and the teaching staff are aware of the importance of Erasmus+ mobility projects, both for teacher training and for improving the professional and linguistic skills of students. Consequently, there is total collaboration to make mobilities possible; FCT tutors encourage their students to participate in the project, they help us find local companies to receive students from our intermediary partners, they monitor the activities of the students in the mobility and accompany them in the mobility if necessary. For all these reasons, the management team is involved in drafting the projects and monitoring their results, and the professional families collaborate in the search for partners and centers with which they are interested in collaborating.
