The purpose was to create a toolkit for mobility managers and teaching staff on pupils’ mobility. In this toolkit, a plan to collect all the good practices exchanged during the project and transferability guidelines that should be drafted by partners based on their practical experience. The main focus was on the following thematic areas: 1) Internationalization strategies of general upper secondary schools; 2) Project design methodologies for pupils mobility; 3) Planning and managing of pupils’ mobility projects through digital tools (physical, blended and virtual); 4) Recognition methods, instruments and strategies;5) Transferability procedures and tools; Every practice provided users the information required to replicate it in their schools (e.g. required material, max number of students involved, expected learning outcomes, step-by-step instruction to implement the practice, enabling factors etc.). The priority was given to those making use of digitalisation to enhance the physical and blended learning mobility experience or allow an effective internationalization at-home activity. The creation of a toolkit contributed to the project objective by providing teachers with a new set of practices to implement more activities.
Partners in this Erasmus+ project are Kaunas International Gymnasium (Lithuania), Liceum ETZ Chaim (Poland), Liceo Scientifico Righi Cesena (Italy), Institut Cavall Bernat (Spain), and Uniser (Italy). Reasons for writing this project were teachers lack of competencies in pupils’ mobility projects, little training opportunities dedicated to general schools’ staff on the themes of internationalization of education, and low level of preparation of teachers to use ICT in daily school practices. Students lack opportunities for international mobility; key competencies are undercount in classrooms; Indirect barriers to access to international mobility programs due to a lack of recognition systems of learning outcomes achieved abroad. Lack of Internationalization at home strategies tailored for general upper education. The need to strengthen collaborative approaches for fostering the internationalization of education in general upper secondary schools. There was a need to create bridges between general upper secondary schools and VET and to allow the transfer of competencies given the implementation of meaningful learning mobility experiences. The inclusion of learning mobility schemes is one of the new main features of the Erasmus+ program.
