Einzelaustausch

Jugendliche unterschiedlicher Sprachregionen besuchen sich gegenseitig in ihren Familien. Die Austauschpartner:innen tauchen in eine Schweizer Gastregion ein: Nicht nur die Fremdsprache wird in realen Situationen gelernt, sondern auch verschiedene Gewohnheiten entdeckt.

Klassenaustausch

Mit Gleichaltrigen Ideen auszutauschen und neue Erfahrungen zu machen, fördert das Interesse der Schüler:innen an der Sprache, die sie lernen. Eine Begegnung mit einer Klasse aus einer anderen Sprachregion der Schweiz kann nach verschiedenen Szenarien ablaufen: gemeinsam durchgeführte Aktivitäten, gegenseitige Besuche, Austausch von Halbklassen oder ein Lager. Movetia unterstützt diese Begegnungen für Schüler:innen der Primarschule, der Sekundarstufe I und der Sekundarstufe II (gymnasiale Maturitätsschulen, Fachmittelschulen und Berufsbildung).

Schulen im Austausch

Lehrpersonen und Schulleiter:innen haben die Möglichkeit, Unterrichtshospitationen und/oder Lehrtätigkeiten an einer Partnerschule zu absolvieren. Ziel ist es, die Kontakte zwischen Schulen und deren Personal anzuregen sowie den Austausch von Unterrichtspraktiken, den Innovationstransfer und die Vertiefung der Sprachkompetenzen zu ermöglichen.

National Exchange in Vocational Education and Training (NABB)

Apprentices and apprenticeship graduates acquire work experience in another Swiss language region. They develop linguistically, professionally and personally. Movetia supports exchange projects between vocational schools, (apprenticeship) companies, cantonal vocational education and training offices and other related organisations.

National Teacher Exchange

Prospective teachers can strengthen their linguistic and intercultural skills with an internship or a study semester in another language region of Switzerland. Teacher training institutions can launch what are called partnership projects to increase mobility.

Youth in Action

Exchanges among young people at an international level: Youth in Action supports organisations and youth workers in various projects.  In this way, the participants widen their network, get valuable new ideas for their work and enable young people to have experiences that leave a lasting impression. 

Language assistants programme

Gathering initial professional experience as a teacher, while at the same time improving their knowledge of languages and gaining valuable intercultural experience: those are the possibilities for language assistants at host schools at home and abroad. Host schools benefit from authentic and motivating language instruction.

Centres of Vocational Excellence

Centres of Vocational Excellence are a project format of the Erasmus+ Programme. By the "bottom-up" development process, this project format aims to promote cooperative platforms that are both nationally/locally anchored and internationally networked. Furthermore, they want to address sector-specific interests or societal challenges. Knowledge and innovation centres are to be created by involving companies (especially SMEs) in applied research projects. In addition, entrepreneurial initiatives by learners are to be supported.

Cooperation partnerships Higher Education

Cooperation partnerships are one of the Erasmus+ project formats. They make it possible for institutions of school education, vocational training, Higher education, adult education and extracurricular youth work to cooperate with partner institutions from Europe. Knowledge and experiences are exchanged and innovative approaches to education are developed in international networks. This in turn also benefits the Swiss educational landscape.

European Universities

This Erasmus+ format supports excellence projects from European university alliances. Higher education institutions throughout Europe test and establish comprehensive institutional and transnational cooperation in teaching, research, innovation and service to society. This benefits the European Higher Education Area as a whole.

International Mobility Vocational Education and Training

VET institutions can support their learners, recent VET graduates or VET professionals in a targeted way with a period abroad – linguistically, professionally, culturally, socially, personally.

International Mobility for Adult Education staff

Offering your staff a continuing education and training opportunity abroad means contributing to their personal and professional development. It also creates an international network of contacts that adds a new dimension to your institution. Mobility projects involve completing job-shadowing periods, continuing education and training (lectures, seminars, conferences, etc.) or teaching assignments abroad for the staff of adult education institutions.

International Mobility school education

Within the framework of mobility projects, teachers and other school staff can undertake further training, job shadowings and teaching activities in other European countries. Learning stays by pupils are also supported.
