Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014,
End date: May 30, 2016
PROJECT
FINISHED
During the first term, the Erasmus+ Selection Commission was created and was composed by: a head of studies, the E+ coordinator and students’ and teachers’ representatives.
The commission published two calls, one for students and another for staff. Five applications were received for the first one, but two of the students rejected them due to personal reasons. Finally, just three mobilities were done, one of Prosthetic Audiology to Italy and two of Dental Prosthesis to England.
The teachers call was forced to be opened two more times and only one application was registered, which was for a mobility to Finland.
Once the intermediate report was sent, the Agency removed two staff grants and accepted to swap one of them for a students’ traineeship, which later was not used.
The next step involved searching companies suitable for the different internships. Two work lines were established, one implied contacting former students and the other by means of traineeship tutors.
At first time, a former student, who owned a company in London, offered a vacant accepting one trainee. The tutor was informed, in order to monitor it. Two tutors were concerned; on the one hand, the Prosthetic Audiology teacher, who concluded her arrangements signing an learning agreement with an Italian business, which has a relevant international projection. The process development was exemplary: the recipient entity was adjusted to the established aims, fluent coordination and agile administrative procedures... The results obtained were really positive. On the other hand, the Dental Prosthetics teacher conditioned companies search to a fieldwork in London. However, several issues arose: the ex-student company withdrew his proposal and the teacher’s negotiations during his stay in London resulted in just one learning agreement. As a result, to be able to carry out the second mobility, it was essential to resort to a company, which had already been dismissed because it was not placed near London, as the applicants wanted.
These problems changed the project’s planning and evolution. Fortunately, every application was given a solution.
In another vein, every student, who received de Erasmus+ grant, passed the language assessment test, obtaining B1 and C1 levels. The evaluation was undergone before and after the stay. All of them carried out the online language course.
Every participant has elaborated the mobility general evaluation, sending it to the Agency in time and form.
The treatment followed in the teachers’ mobility grant allocation, has been similar regarding calls diffusion and dates. The coordinator informed and guided several teachers, who were interested on them. Lastly this process was closed with only one demand.
During the teachers’ mobility partnering search, a series of criteria were set: to be a training centre of a reference country in original pedagogical experiences; to be able to ease observation and information gathering tasks; to be supplementary in working methodologies; to open us new horizons in the centre’s organization, especially in academic and professional counselling; and to serve as a reference point for future managements and mobilities organization.
Every phase and incidence of the project has been broadcasted by conventional and digital formats. Calls, allocations, evaluations… have been posted in bulletin boards, teachers’ room, through the “Camino de la Miranda” CIFP web and the “Orienta Miranda” blog.
At a first evaluation, we want to remark the synergies produced during the project’s course by the collaboration of “Camino de la Miranda” management team, teachers, learners and ex-students; that have moved a step forward in European venture and Erasmus project coordination.
