Project Summary

The European Learning mobility is one of the everlasting and more successful initiatives carried out by the European Commission along last 30 years. Despite the general satisfaction with the experiences, some barriers still exist to increase the positive impact for participants.
INTERMOVE has tackled two of these barriers such as cross-cultural issues or foreign language knowledge by developing and implementing a new training pathway to prepare participants on Learning Mobility projects by including the Intercomprehension of French, English, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish as a tool to follow an intercultural preparation.
The INTERMOVE model, developed and tested during the project, is an open and collaborative tool addressing mobility facilitators. It also provides learning resources and Facilitators’ guidelines for e-learning and face to face training sessions.
INTERMOVE main goals were in line with the specific objectives and priorities for Education and Training in the ERASMUS + programme:
– Development of basic and transversal skills;
– Development of Open Educational Resources (OER);
– Promotion of a broad linguistic diversity and intercultural awareness.
By ensuring quality improvement in the preparation phase, partners and other stakeholders will benefit from better performances on mobility actions by their target groups. Participants will more easily meet their objectives of increasing employability, completion of their studies and/or knowledge of different cultures.
INTERMOVE has valorised previous projects and products such as MASTER Mob or CINCO, in line with the general principles of ERASMUS + programme.
INTERMOVE core partners have been INCOMA (ES), Universidade Católica Portuguesa (PT), IFOA (IT), Cap Ulysse (FR) and IT Tralee (IE). All of them are very experienced organisations in Mobility, Intercultural and/or Language preparation that will be able to ensure a multiplier impact through their local and International network.
Along the 28 months duration of the project, partners’ efforts have been devoted to developing INTERMOVE Model (Course programme+Learning Contents+LMS Platform) and to disseminate the project results to guarantee the sustainability and use of the tools.
For that purpose, other stakeholders and target groups have been involved in all project activities (Research/Development of the Contents/Evaluation and Pilot Testing).
The project has included several Training activities addressed to Trainers, Mentors and the final beneficiaries of the training. A total of 15 organizations and 108 participants have been trained thanks to INTERMOVE. For the implementation of the trainings, previous work on the development of the contents has been carried out by all the project partners, leading to the creation of a whole course on Intercomprehension and Interculturality. The contents created are available for trainees and facilitators through the INTERMOVE e-learning platform.
To complement the work performed, various dissemination activities, both at local and international level, have been also held in partner countries, such as multiplier events or presentations in international conferences. As closure of the project, a Final Conference was organized by INCOMA with a total of 85 participants from 7 different countries.
