44 students and 19 teachers were involved. A record for the Catanzaro Institute in its second year of accreditation
There are fourteen mobility flows carried out this year thanks to the funding of the Erasmus+ project 2023-1-IT02-KA121-SCH-000124365 and which involved forty-four students and nineteen teachers. A record for the Catanzaro institute in its second year of Erasmus+ accreditation which will allow it to have annual funding until 2027.
Schools and training centers in Nantes and Angers in France, Pamplona in Spain, Freising in Germany, Bydgoszcz in Poland, Mantsala in Finland, Split in Croatia and Ghent in Belgium welcomed students and teachers, allowing them to live unique training experiences for growth personal and professional.
“Thanks to the most well-known exchange program in Europe started in 1987” declares the school director, Angelo Gagliardi, “teachers, students and their families have the opportunity to have an unforgettable experience, with an extraordinary educational value, which remains in the heart and in the memories of the participants for a lifetime. Living in a foreign family from seven to sixty days, as our students have done and are still doing today, and welcoming foreign students from the Institute’s partner schools, allows you to “open your mind”, as the motto of the Erasmus+ program states, to get out of one’s “comfort zone” and develop transversal skills that are fundamental for future professional life and personal development, helping to mature and be independent”.
Coordinated by the contact person, Prof. Caterina Mazzuca, in the 2023/2024 school year the project made it possible to organize ten long-term mobilities (from five to ten weeks), three one-week group mobilities, host a teacher expert in methodologies of inclusion and orientation from Finland, attend training courses on new scenarios open to teaching and learning from artificial intelligence and support European teachers in job shadowing experiences.
Twenty-nine foreign students and ten teachers were also welcomed in line with one of the fundamental principles of the Erasmus+ quality standards: active participation in the network of Erasmus schools for the creation of a common European education space.
