Switzerland National Mobility Week 2025: Spotlight on Vocational Education and Training
24/06/2025
From 24 to 28 November 2025, Switzerland will organise the third edition of its National Mobility Week, a flagship initiative by Movetia aimed at fostering exchange and mobility across the country’s diverse language regions. This year, the focus is placed on Vocational Education and Training (VET), with new opportunities and events designed to strengthen cooperation and promote cultural and linguistic understanding in vocational pathways.
What is National Mobility Week?
Launched by Movetia, the Swiss agency for exchange and mobility, National Mobility Week is an annual celebration of domestic mobility and intercultural dialogue. The initiative seeks to highlight the importance of exchange in education at all levels and to make mobility experiences more accessible, especially for young people in vocational training.
2025 Highlights: Short-Term Mobility for VET Learners
A new initiative in 2025 introduces 2–5 day workplace exchanges for learners pursuing a Federal VET Diploma. These short-term mobility opportunities enable young people to experience another linguistic region of Switzerland while developing personal, linguistic, and professional skills.
The scheme is financially supported by Movetia and aims to:
- Encourage cross-regional collaboration
- Foster openness and inclusion in vocational training
- Make mobility accessible, even for those with limited time or resources
EARLALL supports regional initiatives like Switzerland’s National Mobility Week that promote intercultural learning, skills development, and cross-border cooperation—all vital to inclusive, future-proof education systems.
