Mobility has been recognised in the last years by EU Institutions as a core action in lifelong learning and employment policies. The EC Communication on Youth on the Move gives mobility great importance not only in general and higher education, but also in VET and the labour market. Through various Erasmus+ calls, the European Commission aims to strengthen strategic approaches and quality in mobility in vocational education and training.
The role and contribution of Local and Regional Authorities (LRAs) in mobility are particularly important, as stated in the Barcelona Declaration. LRAs manage European and national programmes but also design, finance and implement their own mobility projects. Their contribution is aiming at ensuring the quality of the experience and the recognition of the learning of the participants to mobility actions. Furthermore, they act as intermediary body among all involved stakeholders, including companies.
The consistency between mobility policies and regional programming allows the achievement of notable impact, through focusing intervention on the economic sectors in which mobility can produce greater benefits and therefore can be more appreciated.
The aim of the working group is to establish mobility as an integral part of vocational education and training (VET) and adult education.
