SYNERGIES - Hosting & Expertise

Creating Synergies Beyond Mobility

Our Erasmus+ KA120 project creates valuable synergies with other schools and organisations. Mobility activities often lead to new opportunities for hosting teachers and students, teaching activities at our school, and collaboration with external partners. At the same time, our expertise is shared beyond our centre, with our staff being invited to other schools as experts or trainers. These reciprocal exchanges strengthen our international network and multiply the impact of the project beyond its planned mobilities.

JUNE 2026 - Expert visit (Amasya)

JUNE 2026 - Sharing Expertise and Creating New Synergies

A teacher from Barrufet School was invited to Amasya, Türkiye, as an expert at a three-day teachers’ conference. The teacher conducted a training session for educators interested in CLIL and inclusion, creating a valuable opportunity for professional exchange and learning. The experience was highly positive for both the participants and our teacher, who was able to share expertise while learning from an international community of educators.

This invitation was the result of the synergies created through previous Erasmus+ cooperation. A delegation from Amasya visited our school during the previous academic year, which led to the creation of an eTwinning project, the subsequent hosting of a group of students from Amasya at our school, and a job-shadowing visit to a school in Türkiye by three teachers from Barrufet School.

These experiences have strengthened our partnership and demonstrated how Erasmus+ mobility can generate new opportunities beyond the original project activities. As a result, the Amasya Directorate of Education requested the participation of a CLIL expert from our school in their teachers’ conference.

MAY 2026 - Hosting Jobshadowing (La Rochelle)

Three teachers and one language assistant from a school in La Rochelle, France, took part in a job-shadowing experience at Barrufet School. They observed our educational practices, with a particular focus on multilingual education, CLIL, robotics and digital tools and inclusion, while exchanging ideas and reflecting on teaching practices in different European contexts.

This mobility is a clear example of how Erasmus+ activities can generate new synergies beyond the original mobility. The cooperation began with a job-shadowing visit by three teachers from Barrufet School to La Rochelle, followed by the creation of an eTwinning project and a successful group mobility of our students to their school.

Building on this positive experience, three teachers and one language assistant from La Rochelle subsequently visited Barrufet School for job shadowing. The partnership has continued to grow, with a student group visit from La Rochelle to Barrufet School planned for the 2026–2027 academic year.

These exchanges show how one mobility can lead to further mobilities, shared projects, professional learning and lasting cooperation between schools.
