We wanted to give our VET trainees and staff the opportunity to improve their technical and transversal skills. Our administrative and pedagogical staff needed to become familiar with the programme's approaches and requirements, in order to ensure the sustainability of mobility within our centre. Our trainers could improve their technical skills in terms of safety when using the chainsaw, which is one of the courses offered in our centre. If more trainers had a sufficient level, the centre could extend the sessions of this training. We learners could improve their technical and transversal skills and put them into practice in territorial contexts other than those they were used to. This could contribute to their inclusion in the labour market after graduation.
Our school has been involved in other types of cooperation projects in the past, including cross-border FEDER projects. This has given us a taste for exchanges between our learners and learners from abroad. This project was intended to give us a first contact with the Erasmus+ mobility programme and to initiate a mobility strategy beyond the wider projects. However, the lack of knowledge of the E+ programme and its operational, administrative and financial management was a real obstacle for us.
