The Royal Spanish Football Association Foundation (FRFEF) is the applicant organization and coordinates the CONSORTIUM, created "ad hoc" to participate in ERASMUS +. MOBILITY FOOTBALL COACHES + III is a project designed within the framework of the Internationalization Strategy. It follows the preceding projects FC+I and FC+II, approved and in development, aimed at the mobility of students and staff from the Consortium training centres. The Consortium is composed of the coordinator and the Spanish Football Association and the Football Associations from Andalusia, Catalonia, Madrid and Castilla La Mancha as sending partners.The Consortium has 23 vocational training centres, 15.000 students and 1.000 teachers.The participants are:➢ 56 students from the vocational training course, sports expert in football and Football Coaches Level I and II, who receive federative professional training in centres of the Consortium.➢ 19 trainers, planners and counsellors from the Spanish training and education football system, who carry out their tasks and activities within the organizations and institutions belonging to the Consortium.➢ Women and women's football will have significant importance: gender equality and social inclusion through football will be relevant in this project.The aim is that participants, through the mobility experience, acquire new competences, and knowledge within a "context" of Knowledge Society and Global Work Market in order to improve their training and employability.The results will be:➢ Acquisition of training-professional skills through an internship in football associations and football clubs –for STUDENTS– and "job shadowing" –for STAFF.➢ Acquisition of key competencies: personal, linguistic, digital, social and cultural.The duration of the stay is either 4 or 12 weeks for students, and 1 or 2 weeks for staff.The partners will provide hosting support to the project. The participants –coaches and staff– will do their internship in European Football Associations, vocational training organizations and European football clubs. The Transnational Association will fix its commitments and responsibilities in a cooperation agreement and in the specific and compulsory documents of the ERASMUS+ Programme.The selection of candidates will be based on their language competences and their academic reports, as well as on their social and personal skills and their personal maturity. Prior to their departure, the students will undertake an online course which will provide them with preparation, guidance and information. The staff will carry out a 1 week-stay –job shadowing– in Football Associations and vocational training organizations, where they will be able to meet and exchange good practices from the host partners’ systems of educational and vocational training. The programme content of the stays has been designed by the teaching staff of the sending vocational training centres. It follows a methodology focused in the development of competences, which is particularly suitable for mobility experiences, as it emphasizes on acquiring appropriate skills and competences.A face-to-face training day and an online workshop about mobility and the internationalization strategy of the Consortium will be organized for the staff.RFEF is responsible for the follow-up and the project management with technological support and human capital. The Foundation, which has a broad experience in the management of mobility projects, will be in charge of the following tasks, together with the rest of partners: information, selection processes, preparation, agreements with the partners, learning agreements, quality commitment, follow-up, assessment, validation of competences, dissemination, financial and administrative management. All these steps ensure the quality of the project.All participants will receive a EUROPASS Mobility Certificate as well as other certifications and accreditations by the sending and host partners.An EVALUATION of the project results will be conducted. This study will not only evaluate the training and skills acquired by the participants but it will also focus on measuring the impact of the project. It will evaluate the results and will identify and define the impact that the project has had on the training system of all the partners and on the employment, as well as the gender equality measures. The project will include a COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION PLAN, which will enhance the visibility of the project, its objectives and results (the results and competences acquired). It will also disseminate the progress achieved and provide the European football and sport decision-makers at a local, regional, national and European level with new knowledge and material.The intended dissemination channels are the websites of the Football Association, the educational platform of the project, social networks and the participants’ blogs.Duration: From 01/06/2016 to 30/05/2018.
