Modelling a European Cross-curricular Study Programme for Upper Secondary Schools

The context in which this project originates is deeply connected to the efforts of the EU for the development of a European Education Area by 2025 where spending time abroad to study and learn should become the norm. The project starts off from the need to promote a fundamentally new approach towards transnational mobility opportunities for upper secondary school students in which the school plays a more active role in driving the process while offering high quality learning experiences and ensuring recognition of the period(s) spent abroad.

The e-learning platform is a learning opportunity and is based on adult learning principles. More specifically, the platform aims to provide peer to peer support and communication, self-reflection via tutor support. Also it included stories and case studies for a better understanding. The structure of the platform is designed to accommodate different learning styles since it is divided into three interactive modules. The modules are about the three outputs of the project, lessons learned, and how to use teaching materials in different subjects of the Programme developed during the project. After the successful completion of the modules a certification of completion will be given.
