The project foresaw 80 mobilities for learners with special needs and 8 staff mobilities lasting two weeks. The participants in the outgoing groups were learners from technical and vocational schools in the Romagna supported by qualified leaders, and staff professionals, generally teachers coming from the same schools and in mobility from 3 partners in 3 European countries, who had the task of of organising the programme, which had to include work activities in local companies as well as linguistic and cultural pedagogical activities. The partners involved in the project were Your International Training in Ireland, Ecte in Crete, Greece, and Mep Europrojects in Granada, Spain. The main activities foreseen in the mobilities were work experience, a local language orientation course and cultural pedagogical activities such as visits to places of interest.
VolontaRomagna has been promoting mobility projects in the European context since 2009 with the target group of young people with intellectual fragility and with a special focus on those coming from disadvantaged family and/or social backgrounds. The participants were both young people attending technical and vocational schools in the area and professionals working in the area of special needs. The project was in continuity with those promoted in past years as a response to the territory from which, in particular the families, associations and the schools from which these young people come, ask to have them participate in Erasmus in order to offer them a highly personalised experience tailored to their potential that other similar projects are not not yet able to offer. The opportunity to carry out exchanges in a European context also favours the realisation of a strong experience of active European citizenship, as well as allowing them to get to know and put into practice the values of Europe, and to confront with European challenges, especially those concerning the younger generations with particular reference to the Green Deal, digital access and social and labour inclusion.
