ALLinErasmus

Promoting participation in Erasmus
for students at risk of social exclusion

The Project

Aim

ALLinErasmus is a project funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union, which aims to increase the participation of VET students at risk of social exclusion in Erasmus+ mobilities, by providing training content and tools to the VET professionals managing Erasmus+ mobilities. The project targets VET educators in charge of managing Erasmus+ mobilities, helping them learn how to reach and integrate students at risk of social exclusion in the different stages of Erasmus+ mobilities.

Objectives of the project

ALLinErasmus has, therefore, the following objectives:

Providing VET professionals with training on the meaning behind social exclusion
Increasing the interest in Erasmus+ mobilities of students at risk of social exclusion
Facilitating the access to mobility opportunities among students at risk of social exclusion
Increasing participation of students at risk of social exclusion in Erasmus+ mobilities
Assisting VET professionals in charge of managing Erasmus+ mobilities in their centres

Target Groups

The project focuses on engaging VET (Vocational Education and Training) professionals to effectively reach and involve students with fewer opportunities in Erasmus+ mobility programs. The main target groups are VET professionals and students at risk of social exclusion. VET institutions are also targeted to integrate inclusive practices into their Erasmus+ protocols. Additionally, various other groups, such as organizations working with disadvantaged youth, educational centers, associations of teachers and trainers, and public bodies, can benefit indirectly from the project's outcomes, which include a toolkit, simulation, social media campaign, and best practices for promoting inclusivity in Erasmus+ programs.

Activities

ALLinErasmus Toolkit

Part 1: A theoretical guide explaining social inclusion and factors contributing to social exclusion.
Part 2: Practical guidelines for VET teachers on including individuals at risk of social exclusion in mobility programs.
Part 3: Compilation of Best Practices from across Europe, showcasing successful integration efforts.

A two-step Simulation

Planning phase to guide partners in conducting simulations.
Internal face-to-face simulations in participating centers to test Toolkit content.
External simulations with additional VET schools from EU countries to validate and refine the Toolkit's approach.
