Ensure equal opportunities

Erasmus projects for elementary school: opening up to the world from an early age.

The school trip

You are never too young to discover the world!

The 2021-2027 new Erasmus+ program allow us to offer our schools the possibility of the school trip.

In a few words, a school trip is a one-week experience for our primary students. In partnership with a school in a foreign country, the students discover how school abroad function and the culture of the country.

It is a unique experience that forge the mind of our students!

The job shadowing

Each culture is different, and furthermore, school isn't taught the same way all over the world, even in countries that seem to be alike.

So, six years ago Erasmus developed a job shadowing program intended to the teachers and the schools members, to help them embrace their difference and take advantage of it.

In 2018, there was only one school member that was willing to do a job shadowing in our consortium. Today there are thirty-one schools members seeking for a job shadowing all over the European continent and beyond.

What does it consist of?

A teacher/school member express a desire to observe for a week his/her foreign colleague:

• How he/she includes specific topics to his/her courses (Environmental issues, European citizenship...)

• How he/she handles difficult subjects (Well-being of the pupil, bullying, support for the pupil in need...)

• Teach courses (Pedagogical education...), and so on.

It's a teamwork between the school member and us to define the details of the job shadowing: which country, when, for how long, if they agree to host in return the colleagues for a job shadowing, etc.

When the project is approved, we begin the searching step and it's when you come along. Indeed, we contact you and your primary school to build a partnership and make this project happen.

Who can be part of the project ?

Everyone is included : teacher, director, librarian, janitor, and so on.

The language training abroad

Some of our teachers or schools members would love to go in another country and see how the educational system works but they don't feel comfortable enough with their language skills (English, German, Italian, Spanish...) to go on their own.

Therefore, we have decided that each year, we will make an Erasmus application to have funds in order to train them before doing a job shadowing.
