To do so we will invite the students involved in the mobilities to share their experiences with the rest of students at school taking advantage of the celebrations we hold on 9th May, Europe Day. In the same way, the students' new experience will remain visible for the public on the websites of the school with interviews or video clips that may encourage other youngsters. The schools will be have a more modern, committed and professional environment, able to integrate new methods and good practice into their daily activities. Thus, we will have a more international impact and will be ready to create synergies with organizations active in different social, educational and employment fields. In the long term the enterprises surrounding us will be more competent and international employing young workers with Erasmus+ experience. This mobility project promotes a flexible approach to learning between formation and education: according to our experience many of these students decide to go on with their higher education formation after the internship abroad and their improved self-steem and self-empowerment.
