We aimed to invest in teacher training through attendance at Structured Courses. In the management course “Structural Educational Visit to schools & Training Seminars in Finland” it was possible to observe the environment of some Finnish schools, as well as follow the development of teaching activities and experience their daily school life. In general, all courses made it possible to compare educational systems, methodologies and practices; share good practices among mobility participants; increase institutional and professional relationships; establish contacts with new European partners to promote partnerships and collaborative work in the future; promote new skills, innovative pedagogical methods and practices; increase collaborative work between teachers from different teaching cycles; encourage the use of ICT in the classroom, as a strategy to facilitate learning and motivate students; contribute to reducing the failure rate to levels below 10% and the abandonment rate to 0.5%.
