The present call falls under the Jean Monnet Actions of the Erasmus+ Programme. The Jean Monnet Networks aim to constitute the support to schools and VET providers for boosting knowledge on how to teach European Union subjects, they will also give an international edge to the learning exercise. Teachers’ exchange of knowledge are the basis of the network activities. The overall objective is to promote a better understanding, both in general education and vocational training of the European Union and the functioning of its Institutions.
The Jean Monnet Networks focus on the exchange of information on content and the promote of results of methodologies applied as well as the Exchange of knowledge and mobility for co- teaching. Additionally, the actions focus on the enhancement of cooperation between different schools/VET providers giving them international experience and a European standing, fostering cooperation and creating a solid and sustainable knowledge platform among schools and VET providers.
Teachers and trainers need to engage in opportunities for their own professional development such as the expansion of their competences for developing an inclusive classroom atmosphere using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and teaching in multilingual and multicultural classrooms. They also need opportunities for professional expansion regarding the European dimension of teaching at school, in particular on teaching about the European Union in engaging ways. Furthermore, the objective of the networks will be twofold. On the one hand, the schools/VET providers will exchange information and practices on what and how they make their learners become more knowledgeable about the EU. On the other hand, teachers may have mobility experiences of a few days to organise and deliver co-teaching / co-tutoring with their partners.
Maximum EU contribution per project is € 300,000.
