Erasmus+ educational mobility programs

Erasmus+ mobility programs are facilitating educational exchanges across Europe, with a growing emphasis on sustainability, STEM, and intercultural integration.

Initial programs involved Portuguese secondary schools participating in projects in Poland and Germany. One initiative, ‘Eco-Citizens for a Sustainable Europe’, focused on environmental sustainability and ecological citizenship through photography and video workshops. Another project, ‘Empowering Teachers: Building a Connected, Inclusive and Technological Tomorrow’, focused on how the German education system manages interculturality and the integration of foreign students.

Subsequent activities expanded these themes to include STEM and climate education. In Serbia, Turkish teachers engaged in exchanges regarding STEM education to connect climate change and energy efficiency to real-world applications. Concurrently, the ‘EkOdrživ’ project in Portugal focused on introducing climate change education into various subjects, teaching participants to analyze ecological and carbon footprints to reduce the environmental impact of schools.
