Creative Learning Space - Support and Exchange for long-term Mobilities

"The ""Pro Move II"" project aims to significantly increase the number of long-term study stays abroad in the context of vocational training and the relevant actors (vocational schools, chambers, training institutions, companies, local and national decision-makers, but above all the trainees themselves to inform about this possibility.The project continues a project of the same name, which was carried out by 6 of the project partners as a pilot project as part of an appeal by the European Commission until September 2019. The aim of the pilot project was to shed light on the reasons why only a negligibly small proportion of trainees carry out long-term mobility (6 months and longer), whereas most trainees only go abroad for two to four weeks. The project partners haveidentified many difficulties and obstacles during the pilot project and at the same time showed ways how these obstacles can be partially overcome.The project ""Pro Move II"" builds on the results of this project and wants to develop a material by producing a tutorial (video and print) and a documentary and image film that the above-mentioned relevant actors of the vocational education and training in the participating countries about Informed about opportunities offered by Erasmus + through the Erasmus Pro campaign. At the same time, institutions should be motivated to apply for Erasmus Pro funding for stays abroad. The video to be developed clearly shows the problems that can arise during the implementation of these long-term stays abroad and at the same time how the project partners have dealt with these problems. A third result of the project is a long-term analysis and evaluation of the results of longer-term mobility already carried out by the project partners after 3, 7 and 10 years and the development of a structured documentation and evaluation of longer-term mobility that is now beginning.The focus of the project is not the materials to be developed (video, documentation, website) themselves, but the impact that they can have on the public.The pilot project has shown that the biggest obstacle to the implementation of long-term mobility is that there are hardly any applicants for the target group of (former) trainees after completing their training. This means that there are hardly any scholarships or information for the trainees.While only 6 partners were involved in the Pro Move pilot project, there are already 10 institutions of vocational training in Pro Move II, the ""Transfer of Innovation"", which want to work to increase the number of people, especially through public relations events. who take up the offer to complete a long-term stay abroad after completing their training."
