The partner schools wanted to set up a system for recognising student mobility and test it with three mobility events during the project. Our aim is to use this system in future Erasmus+ and other similar projects and to spread our experience to other schools. By participating in an international exchange, students increase their key competences and it is right that this is recognised and valued in some way by the home school. All three schools have different experiences of teaching about climate change, environmental protection, and sustainability. With this project, we wanted to introduce more of these themes in the different subjects. In each school, we wanted to introduce at least one activity in this field that would become permanent. We presented the best examples of good practice to each other in teacher networks, thereby strengthening teachers' teaching competences in the selected areas. Through the teacher networks, we aimed to promote the participation of new teachers in international projects and to increase teachers' interest in participating in in-service training and follow-up activities abroad.
In a joint meeting, the partner schools identified three common challenges. The first challenge is missing out when a student takes part in an international exchange. In student exchanges where only a few students travel abroad, others have regular classes at their home school. This has led to problems when students have to catch up missed content after returning from the exchange. This problem occurs also when the exchange took place at the home school. At the same time, the exchange students acquired skills and competences that they were unable to put into practice at school. The aim of project was to evaluate the competences and learning outcomes that the exchange students acquired. Another challenge was to increase teachers' motivation to participate in international projects. In all three schools, there were already groups of teachers who were willing to participate in international projects. Our aim was to motivate new teachers. The third challenge was to raise awareness among young people and teachers on green technologies, environmental protection, sustainability and health. We therefore wanted to integrate these themes in interesting ways not only in international exchanges but also in the teaching.
