International Staff and Student Mobilities in Live

The implementation of student and staff Erasmus+ -mobilities is a continuous and sustained activity in Live. The aim of the mobilities is to provide our students and staff with study and work experiences abroad in their own vocational branches. These initiatives also provide our staff with chances to develop their professional skills and network with peers on an international level.

Current mobilities:

Europe Tomorrow 2019 June – 2022 May
New Skills 2021 September – 2022 November
ADU (Adult Education) 2021 September – 2022 November

Partners:

Live has a network of long-term and regular international partners and this network is expanding continuously. At the moment most of these partners are European but we have also global co-operation.

Focus groups:

All students and the entire staff are the focus group and beneficiaries.

The aims of the mobilities:

• to provide international study and work experiences to the widest possible selection of vocational students
• provide opportunities to develop working life skills, interactive skills, digital skills and life-long learnings skills
• promote tolerance, diversity and cross-cultural interaction
• develop staff professional skills, language skills, networking, and increase peer-development with partner organizations and their staff
• promote international activities within the policy and strategy framework of Live

Operations:

• at the start of each study term there are information events for all students and staff with information about current and future mobilities
• information about mobilities is also distributed via Live internal Intra-network and educational managers
• student and staff mobilities are negotiated, arranged and implemented with international partners in accordance to the mobility plans
• prior to the mobilities students participate in language and cultural training periods concerning target institutions, countries, appropriate languages and cultures
