Context and history : IMF is a training institution for social workers. All the professional diplomas are realized in alternation, partnerships developed with establishments from the social and medical and social fields are a strong asset of our engineering which guarantees an important professional integration. The international cooperation is an integral part of the institute’s activities. Historically, this opening towards international is a founding main line. The need to take account of the multicultural dimension of social issues has guided us to open the social workers’ training to the different types of intervention into the European countries, the ones around the Mediterranean Sea and also, more recently, in Canada. Thus as soon as 2001, a European University degree in social sciences was created with 17 European universities. Since then, IMF has integrated European programs on mobility: Leonardo in 2003 and Erasmus in 2005. Goals : - To facilitate the mobility of our students preparing a level III diploma as well as the mobility of students coming from abroad ; particularly the outgoing mobility of students preparing the specialized educator diploma or the social assistant diploma for an educational period of 6 months or for an internship period of 3 months. - To facilitate the involvement of the educational and technical staff working on our two training sites in order to ensure the promotion of this political dimension by the largest number of people. - To compare field experiences within the framework of professional education in alternation. - To promote professional paths in alternation: promoting internships in two European countries (Belgium and Spain). - To ease self-fulfillment. - To improve employability.
