TCA Description
Themes and goals:
The main theme of the event is the importance of international experience in the education of teachers. The teachers of the future have a pivotal role in educating children on the basis of equality, aiming for objectives such as sustainability, peace, human rights, global awareness and respect for different cultures. For that reason, it is important for teacher education students to have the opportunity to take some part of their studies and training abroad, as such experience will broaden their horizon and have a positive impact on their intercultural competence.
The main goal is to seek measures in order to boost participation numbers of teacher education students in mobility. The participants of the seminar will be invited to share their own practices and experiences regarding the subject, and will furthermore be encouraged to consider possible partnerships in the future.
Expected results:
Erasmus+ should give everybody the opportunity to finish some of their studies abroad. For teacher education students it is arguably even more important to get the taste of the life in a different country, as they will in return be better equipped to educate the future generations in diverse and everchanging societies.
The expected results of the seminar is to share ideas and create good practices for developing the future of mobility in teacher education, and to create networking and/or partnerships on the subject that might result in future Erasmus+ applications.
