What Are the Best Destinations for an Erasmus+ or Turing Scheme Project Abroad?

Written by Emma Crossick | August 1, 2024

With over two decades of remarkable experience, it comes as no surprise to hear that at TravelEdventures, we are very experienced in running projects and that means when you choose us to guide you, we won’t be shy in telling you where will be best for your group to go.

As an example, if you’re a school specialising in tourism and you ask us to organise your work/study placement abroad, we will only suggest our top 3 or 4 destinations for a first-time project. This makes it far easier for your group to enjoy what will be a successful mobility, but it also makes it easier for us when it comes to managing any initial project. It might be that the destinations we suggest aren’t exactly what you imagined but we have good reason for our choices which we’ll talk about next.

We won’t be shy in telling you that some destinations won’t be as suitable for your needs as others. Often, schools (and other education providers) come to us, dreaming of a far-flung destination that might be quite remote! While that might be tempting – sun, sea, sand and tropical palm trees - often it’s not the right fit. After all, Erasmus+ and the British version, the Turing Scheme are all about working and studying abroad – if the profile of a desired destination doesn’t match the profile of the sending educational institution, we won’t recommend it. In fact, we’ll actively discourage it in favour of the right destinations. This is because we know what we’re doing, we’re familiar with all education providers and we create a profile for all of our clients.

A Hands-On Approach

We also remain hands-on throughout our partnership with schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions, so you know we’re there 24 hours a day while your group is abroad.

We Want a Long-term Client Relationship With You

Our aim is always to continue working with partners, for many years. Once we’ve completed one project, we carry on working on delivering bigger projects over the coming years – and at that point, we start to look at more ambitious places, perhaps further afield than the initial project. Again, as long as these destinations fit our clients’ profiles.

We Have Groups All Over The World

We always have exceptional projects ongoing in different countries around the world. We’re delighted to announce that we’ve now got groups in Tahiti, Mexico and Australia and New Zealand too!

So, if you’re seeking a high-quality partner for your school, college, university or other educational institute’s work/study placement abroad, we highly recommend that you get in touch with us to see exactly what we can do for you. We promise, it’s going to be an extraordinary journey!
