An Erasmus+ or Turing Scheme mobility has numerous advantages. Notwithstanding the educational opportunities, and chances of better employability later on, seeing how other people live in a new destination is key to forging better connections in Europe (and beyond Europe too!). By gaining understanding of a new culture, we can all benefit – most especially by building tolerance and respect.
The Value in Immersion into New Cultures
There’s incredible value in immersing in new cultures. Together we build:
- Better relationships with European counterparts.
- Understanding of different cultures, religions, languages and ways of life.
- Tolerance.
- Friendships.
- Respects.
Erasmus+ and the Turing Scheme both do the above. Plus, when travelling in Europe on a work or study placement abroad, it’s easy to gain better understanding of neighbours. This is because crossing borders is easy – and many European countries are land-locked, meaning they’re just a hop, skip and a jump away from each other.
Break Down Barriers and Build a Better Global Future
We actively encourage our Erasmus+ and Turing Scheme placement students to spend time visiting other countries. Just by crossing a border, there’s a cultural shift as every country has its own way of life, often its own language and cultural differences. This is important to see!
Furthermore, bringing students together in workplace settings and integrating them into different schools in another country is a very important step to breaking down barriers and creating lasting friendships between countries. It’s these students who grow up and are our future – in industry, politics, education and vocational positions, they will be the leaders of tomorrow. This is another reason why adding the Erasmus+ and Turing Scheme experiences to a school, college, university or other educational institution’s offering is vital and we encourage you to reach out to our team to find out how we can work together.
