Knowledge and Stakeholder hub on Individual Pupil Mobility

Welcome to the Hub on Individual Pupil Mobility and its recognition!

Pupilmobility.eu gathers together stakeholders in the field of education and mobility to advance the recognition of learning periods abroad for secondary school pupils in Europe.

This space for knowledge sharing and stakeholder cooperation is based on the work of the European Federation for Intercultural Learning (EFIL), in cooperation with several stakeholders at European and national level, and hosts now the latest developments of the ‘Empowering Teachers for Automatic Recognition’ (ETAR) project, involving school stakeholders and pupil exchange organisations from Belgium (Flanders), Estonia and Poland.

About

Individual Pupil Mobility is as a key tool for the internationalisation of schools and for developing European and Global citizenship.

Over the years, we have been advocating to increase inclusivity, diversification and quality of learning mobility opportunities, and to advance the recognition of learning periods abroad.

In 2016 we launched the recognisestudyabroad.eu campaign and in 2017 we launched the campaign ‘More funding for pupil mobility – through partnership between schools and exchange organisations’.

In 2020-2021 we coordinated the work of the Expert Network on Recognition of outcomes of learning periods abroad in general secondary education, funded by the European Parliament and we are now building on its outputs with the Empowering Teachers for Automatic Recognition (ETAR) project funded by Erasmus+.
