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

Pupilmobility.eu gathers 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 the results of the Erasmus+ project ‘Empowering Teachers for Automatic Recognition‘ (ETAR), co-funded by the European Union, which involved school stakeholders and pupil exchange organisations from Belgium (Flanders), Estonia and Poland.
