Teacher Training: Individual Pupil Mobility and recognition of its learning outcomes

Are you a teacher from a secondary school, school counsellor, career advisor,  or an educational staff member working within intercultural learning, learning mobility and learning recognition? This is for you!

Location: Thessaloniki, Greece

Dates: 20/03/2025 – 23/03/2025

Duration: 3 days of training course + 1 travel day

Language: English

Participation Fee: 700€

This training course complies with the Quality standards for courses which can be funded through Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (learning mobility of individuals). Institutions in possession of such Erasmus+ grants may use their funding to cover the participation fee for the training course. 

What is the training about?

More than 60.000 secondary school students enrol in a long-term Individual Pupil Mobility (IPM) every year through different programmes and providers, and since 2021 the EU has made this activity one of its flagship actions within the new Erasmus+ programme. 

However, the majority of secondary education institutions miss the opportunity to foster IPM as transformative experience for the pupil, and a key driver of internationalisation of schools. One of the main causes is the lack of recognition of learning outcomes of IPM in the majority of EU countries and lack of assessment of the intercultural and other transversal competences by pupils during their period abroad.

The aim of the training is to prepare and support schools in promoting Individual Pupil Mobility – through Erasmus+ and other programmes – and in designing learning agreements which foster automatic recognition of pupils’ learning outcomes. Teachers and relevant staff will learn how to capitalise on IPM experiences for internationalisation in a whole school approach and improve their ability to formulate and assess intended learning outcomes in terms of competences, which will support them in finding alignments between curricula. On top of that, teachers will also discover ways to apply non-formal education methods within individual pupil mobility programmes to foster the development of transversal competences, notably intercultural learning.
