The Strategic Partnership is composed by 3 schools (for a total of 120 participants: 99 students and 21 members of the technical staff) from cities that have already had the opportunity to share positive experiences with the citizens of the city of origin of the applicant. It represents a big opportunity for analysis and individuation of good practices and new strategies to improve multilinguistical skills.

The two-year project activity will open with a Transnational Project Meeting, lasting three days, that launches SiE4E activities and the selection of good practices already in place at the schools; this will lead to the identification of the new strategy by March 30th 2016, involving a Staff of 21 people (7 for each partner schools, including executives, teachers, technicians and administrative staff), and facilitate future work aimed at identifying the strategy. At the end of the 6 months, the Staff will elaborate the first draft of the manual that makes applicable the strategy developed and defines the criteria to evaluate it during and at the end of the application; however, a final draft will be prepared at the end of the project. When the project is completed, there will be a final study of the activities, with relative presentation of the results obtained by the application of the strategy. Then, English teachers will be engaged in a week of physical mobility that continues with a virtual mobility, during all the 24 project months, through SiE4E web platform.
