Objectives

In practical terms, within the project's lifecycle, we successfully pinpointed pain points and other significant barriers to mobility for young apprentices. Anemo subsequently identified the intercultural skills necessary to address the challenges associated with the mobility of young apprentices. Now.be leveraged its expertise in educational game design to create a serious game scenario for young apprentices, enabling them to play and learn about the key mobility issues simultaneously. These two outcomes converged in the tool we call 'MoMo' (More Mobility). This tool is currently available as open-source software for all vocational training centers and professional high schools interested in implementing the serious game as a tool for awareness and candidate selection for international mobility. Simultaneously, we developed a user guide for mobility coordinators and a mobility handbook for apprentice candidates seeking international mobility opportunities. All of these resources are currently accessible on the website www.moremobility.eu.

Background

In support of promoting international mobility among young apprentices, we actively engaged as a consortium in European initiatives. Anemo and Now.be came together to explore an innovative and engaging approach to overcome barriers to European mobility for apprentices. We swiftly observed that a significant number of apprentices in France and Belgium do not envision themselves as potential participants in European mobility processes. In other words, they do not perceive themselves as target groups of European mobility grants. Therefore, we aimed to create a tool to raise awareness among young individuals about the opportunities offered by the Erasmus Plus program. Simultaneously, we noticed that vocational training centers and professional high schools lacked a tool to positively differentiate and identify apprentices best suited for European mobility experiences, despite having mobility coordinators (cf. référents mobilité) responsible for promoting sustainable mobility projects As a result, our secondary objective was to use a test to assess candidates' intercultural skills and provide an objective approach to the selection process for mobility grants.
