Swiss schools submit their project by means of an electronic form and a collaboration agreement signed by the Swiss and foreign partner. In doing so, they present how the project will be carried out and integrated into everyday school life. If you work for a foreign school and wish to apply for this programme, please contact your Swiss partner and inform them of this funding opportunity.
The formal criteria to be met are as follows:
In addition, the following evaluation criteria will be taken into account:
If you work for a Swiss school, please check the application forms under the german, french or italian pages of the programme. If you work for a foreign school and want to apply, please contact your Swiss partner and inform them of this funding opptunity.
For projects with India, Movetia also matches Swiss classes with Indian classes, in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan in New Delhi. Please fill in the partner search form to initiate the twinning process.
Once the project is completed, a final report, including final accounts, is to be sent to Movetia by the Swiss school. Please find the template here (coming soon). The final report and accounts must be submitted to Movetia no later than two months after the end of the project.
Furthermore, the participating pupils must complete an online evaluation after the exchange. This evaluation can be found here
