VIRTUAL MOBILITY : a valuable tool…
Why have you submitted a
project on virtual mobility ?
VIRTUAL MOBILITY : a valuable tool…
To improve the “learning quality” of
the European internship
To provide a virtual alternative to
those who do not move abroad
7
VIRTUAL MOBILITY : a valuable tool…
VIRTUAL MOBILITY…
 is
an economical alternative to linguistic and cultural
preparation
 gives everyone the opportunity to live experiences of european
collaboration with people from different cultures
 brings an European dimension to the training systems, specially
for the apprenticeship system
…

EURO-DIM : Innovation Transfer
 A brief review of Euro-DIM background
Euro-DIM
PROGRAMME : Leonardo Da Vinci – Innovation Transfer
DURATION :
2011- 2013
Euro-DIM partners (from eMovA project) :
Formation PME (BE), Handwerskammer Aachen (DE),
Berufskolleg für Gestaltung und Technik /EU-GES (DE), APCMA
(FR), Pôle de formation Pasteur (FR).

EURO-DIM : Main goal
Integrate european mobility in
apprenticeship system.
Strategy composed of 4
areas of action

EURO-DIM : Strategy
Online training for
mobility actors
Proposition of a
common ECVET Unit
To describe the
mobility by learning
outcomes
To mobilize and
train all the actors
involved

EURO-DIM : virtual mobility/Results
For the apprentices :
 The apprentices had an active role of their learning. The teacher was just
here to help them if they had any problems or questions.
 As they discussed and shared their work with others
apprentices from other countries, they could give meaning
to their work.

26
EURO-DIM : virtual mobility/Results
Not really…
Because when the project ended,
the actions of virtual mobility
stopped…
27
EURO-DIM : virtual mobility/Results
Difficulties to substain actions of virtual mobility after Euro-DIM project :
 Difficulty to organize in apprenticeship system
o The rhythm of alternation (school/enterprise) varies from a country
to another, and from one school to another.
o The program when the apprentices are in school, are usually very
intense.
 Necessity to assist the training actors in the use of ICT
o Today, everybody uses ICT in life to entertain, communicate, work…
But their use in classroom is still limited according to countries.
 Virtual mobility = more work for the training actors
o The training actors are busy. They can
organise one time an experiment of virtual
mobility but it’s difficult to ask them more.
