Pre-departure training for outgoing pupils & contact teachers // Jornada Informativa para la Movilidad del Alumnado

In preparation of an individual pupil mobility scheme under the Lifelong Learning Programme (Comenius Sub-programme), the Spanish National Agency OAPEE has organized an informative session for pupils and contact teachers in Madrid on 20 June, 2011.

The new programme will enable seven of our pupils to spend three months at TIBBLE FRISTÅENDE GYMNASIUM, Täby, Sweden, with a grant from the European Union.

SWEDEN – OUR NEW HOME, OUR NEW SCHOOL

Stockholm. 11-12 August, 2011

Kristina Westerberg and the Swedish students organized some perfect days for us in Täby and Stockholm. The weather was sunny after a mighty thunderstorm and the city was full of life and beauty. We visited the Vasa Museum, Skansen, Gamla Stan, and enjoyed a guided visit of the school at Täby. Our hard-working students also started their Swedish lessons with Alice Colomer. Tack tack.

It’s getting darker and darker up there in the north, in our dear Täby. Next week will be a time of farewells, a time to say goodbye to your newly-made friends and teachers, time to come home. We are looking forward to seeing you again in Lugo! Photo below: Alba Vázquez.

Learning mobility, i.e. transnational mobility for the purpose of acquiring new skills is one of the fundamental ways in which individuals, particularly young people, can strengthen their future employability as well as their personal development. Studies confirm that learning mobility adds to human capital, as students access new knowledge and develop new linguistic skills and intercultural competences. Furthermore, employers recognise and value these benefits. Europeans who are mobile as young learners are more likely to be mobile as workers later in life. Learning mobility has played an important role in making education and training systems and institutions more open, more European and international, more accessible and efficient.
