The fact that there is lack of understanding of the realities and obstacles that intermediary organizations, VET providers and all actors involved in Erasmus+ KA1 mobilities in VET face when it comes to hosting VET students for Erasmus+, creates the need of VET providers to learn from each other and improve the way VET works with Erasmus+KA1 mobilities.

CONNECTING EUROPE! is an ERASMUS+ (KA2) a 31-month project, aiming to support lifelong learning and the educational, professional and personal development of VET students in Europe and beyond.
Especially involved to the hospitality, healthcare and technical sector.

The project will showcase how genuine and transparent European collaboration between VET providers, intermediary organizations and employers will facilitate the mobility of students and increase the European collaboration between institutions involved in Erasmus+ mobilities.

The project and its results will help to raise awareness of how inclusiveness will benefit all involved in a mobility and how responsive, qualitative and collaborative preparation of VET students will enable them to gain the skills needed to become active European citizens who can work in multicultural environments and adapt to change.

To be able to provide students with successful and gratifying learning experiences we need to gain understanding in and accept the realities in which intermediary organizations and VET providers work.

This will enable VET providers to:

• improve the quality of collaboration between the sending and hosting organization & intermediary organizations and VET providers and
• establish and maintain the Connecting Europe Consortium
