Portugal was chosen as a destination because of its proximity in language, customs and distance, and in particular its capital communications and greater job opportunities. Companies and institutions involved are: IES "Juan Calero Master" of Monesterio, Monesterio Formex and charitable Espanhola Sociedade Lisbon. Students were chosen according to clear and objective criteria, although they have finally gone all interesting students. Two periods of mobility, the first from October 1st to December 2014 and another from April to June 2015. Three students (79 days) participated in the first period and 4 students (59 days) in the second, although at first they would have 2 turns of 3 students (79 days) and a teacher (2 days) finally there was no teacher interested in making mobility so it was decided (according to the bases of the program and the national agency) in the second turn would be shared the remaining crew of three students and 2 teachers between interested (4 students) and in this case they would go 59 days. Previously participants were prepared with a course about Portugal (language and customs) and labor risks; they were given a dossier with information of interest and were helped in finding rental housing or hotel, both before and during the first days. The trip was made in private cars and they did an extra insurance to get covered for any incidence. The monitoring was performed in all the necessary helping pre-trip (course, finding housing, insurance, etc ..), accompanying them on the trip and first days and in a follow-up to mid-stay, communication directly through ICT (wasap, telephone, Skype, e-mail), teletutorías every 15 days, weekly phone calls and e-mail those responsible for the host company, etc ... At the conclusion and during the mobility the students delivered: a journal of weekly monitoring, a photographic diary and / or managing a profile on a social network or a blog and a final report, which was used to evaluate the project comprehensively. Local regional radios (Monesterio, Fuente de Cantos and Fregenal) and county (Canal Extremadura), local press (Monesterio, Fuente de Cantos and Fregenal) and (El periódico de Extremadura, Hoy) press and websites (Hoy digital, El Periódico digital, Tentudía directo) and profiles on social networks (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) and a project blog was created.
