The year 2013 is approaching rapidly, and with it, the strategic EU aim for that period: 80.000 students annually are expected to gain experience in foreign countries and get involved in job mobility programmes! Statistics show that almost every country has problems with this target, although youngsters are interested in mobility programmes and have recognized the importance of going abroad to develop competences. Nevertheless, many students don’t join programmes or break off their stay, returning home because they cannot cope with being in a foreign country. Our project aims at increasing the number of students successfully involved in internationalisation and mobility programmes, at training teachers and advising management involved in internationalisation and curriculum development. A tailored preparation programme needs to be implemented to improve internationalisation at school and mobility rates. It is based on Finnish research outcomes that shaped the local educational systems towards the inclusion of internationalisation in curricula.
