Project Summary

eMovA project-Virtual Mobility for Apprenticeship, is the result of a reflection within the European network, Euroapprenticeship, to improve the efficiency of short-term mobility internship and offer a virtual alternative to those who cannot leave.

To develop virtual mobility in Apprenticeship training, the eMovA project partners, eight in number, including five types of organizations (vocational training centers, craft chambers of commerce, public bodies, European foundation, SME organization) in five European countries (France, Belgium, Germany, Slovenia and Portugal) have worked closely on the following three objectives:

Objective 1: To provide ready-to-use teaching materials to facilitate virtual mobility actions.
Objective 2: To accompany the actors of vocational training by sharing open and innovative practices in digital era
Objective 3: To create a virtual space on Euroapprenticeship plateform in order to inform the users about virtual mobility and explain how to use or contribute in eMovA products.

To reach these three objectives, three intellectual outputs – one per objective – have been made by the partners.
Thus, O1 / eMovA-activities makes available to trainers/teachers or mobility referents, 20 ready-to-use learning sequences to facilitate virtual mobility actions.
Access O1: http://moodle.euroapprenticeship.eu/

O2 / eMovA-videos, via its video channel on Youtube, helps the trainers/teachers in the implementation of virtual mobility with digital tools, through concrete examples realized in class.

In addition to the development of virtual mobility for the Apprenticeship, several impacts and benefits in the short, medium and long term were identified at the end of the project, in particular:
– the professional development of the trainers on ICT methodologies,
– the development of hard skills (linguistic, numerical …) and soft skills (teamwork, communication, etc.) by the beneficiaries,
– the appropriation of the benefits of virtual mobility by the companies,
– the dissemination of open educational resources (OER) in various European languages,
– the improvement of the learning quality by providing a European dimension and encouraging the adoption of innovative pedagogical practices,
– the appetite of target audiences for virtual and physical mobility,
– the increase of international cooperation between the actors of vocational training,
– the increase of national and international cross-sectoral cooperation between the economic, political and educational actors of the European territories.
