The project focused on various needs of students and teachers of ITET Capitini. The mobility abroad, was strategic to pursue: the inclusion of disadvantaged young people and young people with special educational needs, the internationalization of the training offer, the promotion of sustainable tourism, an improvement in the awareness on environmental change, an improvement of students' digital and transversal skills to facilitate their employability, a specific training for school staff on the internationalization, inclusion and digitization of teaching. The implementation of mobility abroad for students and teachers was functional to pursue the expected objectives of the project such as learning innovative methods, sharing good practices between European institutions and building partnerships with a long-term vision.
The Istituto Tecnico Economico Tecnologico 'Aldo Capitini' is a school located in Perugia that offers seven training courses in the economic and technological sectors. The school is attended by students with different socio-economic backgrounds, those with special educational needs are guided through a personalized educational path based on active learning and an inclusive approach. The area in which the institute is located faces several challenges including post-earthquake reconstruction, economic relaunch, the development of tourism and the Umbria brand, the green economy and digitalisation. The recent pandemic has worsened the situation in the region, severely affecting the tourist industry, which accounts for 20% of the regional GDP (ISTAT data). To face these challenges, the institute has decided to increase the knowledge on sustainable tourism and to internationalize the school through European learning mobility for students and school staff. The school is determined to continue improving its inclusion and internationalization strategies and focus on environmental education having an impact also on those students who do not physically travel abroad.
