Mobility Opportunities – Funding for School Exchanges Scheme
21 school exchanges
Action 1.D.1
9 new schools
Overview:
The Funding for School Exchanges Scheme first became available in 2018. Funding of €5,000 per year was
made available for three years to support and incentivise schools to establish new exchanges and increase
the numbers participating in existing exchanges.
Main Aims:
•
Incentivise and establish new school exchanges
•
Support schools with existing exchanges to increase participation in these exchanges
•
Support and sustain continued exchange programmes with partner schools in the target languages
•
Ensure that best practice is showcased to encourage more uptake of school exchanges in further schools
Activity:
Nine new schools were allocated funding in 2022. Exchanges have been arranged by these schools to Bavaria,
Japan, Corsica, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Madrid, Emilia-Romagna, Hesse and Pasde-Calais. Teachers were able to start planning exchanges again in the first half of 2022, following disruptions
caused by the pandemic.
