SEND Mobility Consortium

Unipi Team Leader: Giovanni Federico Gronchi, Vice Rector for Cooperation and International Relations

This action supports physical and blended mobility of higher education students and staff from EU Member States and third countries associated to Erasmus+ to any country in the world. Students in all study fields and cycles can take part in a study period or traineeship abroad. Higher education teaching and administrative staff can take part in professional development activities abroad, as well as staff from the field of work in order to teach and train students or staff at higher education institutions.

Mobility consortium description
SEND Consortium is a strategic alliance between HEIs and private organizations, that share expertise, know-how and networks in order to create a "mobility system" around the topic of Social and Technical-economic Innovation.

In specific, the Consortium includes:
- SEND job agency and international mobility center (cordinator);
- garagErasmus Foundation, first official network of the Erasmus generation developed in collaboration with the European Commission (intermediary body);
- Thirteen Universities from 9 Italian Regions (sending institutions) where young innovators are trained thanks to study, degree and post-graduation courses: UNI Venezia Ca' Foscari; UNI Padova, UNI Parma, UNI Ferrara, UNI Politecnica delle Marche, UNI Pisa, UNI Bari, UNI Palermo, UNI Catania, UNI Kore-Enna, UNI Roma Tor Vergata, UNI Napoli Federico II, UNI Cagliari.

Specific objectives of the Consortium are:
1. Strengthen a strategic alliance among HEIs, organizations of the labour market and international companies, already developed in 6 years activities, to valorize mobility for traineeship and training and create a network of actors and experts in the filed of Social, Technical and Economical Innovation.
2. Increase the employability and self-entrepreneurship of university students, recent graduates and phd students of any year and field of study, by offering quality and inclusive mobility opportunities (also blended) in the field of Social, Technical and Economical Innovation.
3) Support the personal and professional development of the teaching and administrative HEIs staff, by giving them the opportunity to carry out training experiences abroad and/ or blended, in order to learn new technologies and methods of teaching and learning, to develop transnational and trans-disciplinary curricula, to share and transfer good practices in cutting-edge sectors related to Social, Technical and Economical Innovation.

With the aim to create a quality "mobility system", the Consortium’s activities will be complemented by preparatory (incoming) and work inclusion/new career perspectives (outgoing) activities throughout the further development and updating of the web platform (https://mobility.sendsicilia.it/) and the organization of online training/events. Thanks to these activities, the participants will be able to: better guide themselves in the European and national labour market and carry out effective job-application, self-assess their incoming and outgoing skills in order to design or re-design their training and professional path, find an organization more coherent with their learning goals, broaden their view about new employment opportunities, career and research.

Annual meetings, decision sharing process, participation in the activities implementation, clear, functional and transparent roles are the key elements that will characterize the working group of the Consortium.

Through targeted communication activities, the network with the companies, already registered on the SEND platform (about 200), will be strengthened, as well as it will be enriched of new companies operating in the field of Social, Technical and Economical Innovation. These sectors are booming nowadays at European level. They interact with each other, by including a range of disciplines and leading-edge professionals, such as energy managers, engineers and architects specialized in green building, computer engineering specialized in robotics, artificial intelligence, social media manager, project manager and so on...

The expected impact will mostly affect the participants who will increase their employability and career perspectives by learning and strengthening basic, transversal and technical-professional skills and by increasing their sense of European citizenship. In addition, HEIs staff will be able to acquire pedagogical skills and the ability to bring about changes in terms of research modernization, teaching and openness to internalization.

The Consortium will take full advantage of these education, training and networking opportunities, by considering them the engine for job creation, economic growth, social cohesion, innovation, European cooperation and mitigation of skills gap . By setting up a "mobility system" and sharing experiences among Consortium members, it will be possible to respond more effectively to individual and collective needs with the aim of a rapid post-Covid recovery aimed at leaving no one behind.

Increasing Learning Opportunities in the job market

Unipi Team Leader: Francesco Marcelloni, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation and Relations

The ‘Increasing Learning Opportunities in the job market’ (ILO) Mobility Consortium acts both as a prosecution and as an expansion of the long-standing cooperation among partner universities in the field of traineeships abroad. The Consortium is coordinated by the University of Padova in partnership with IUAV University of Venice, the University of Pisa, the University of Catania, the University of Trieste and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Its main goal is to increase the employability of the courses offered, and the qualifications awarded by the various universities, by giving students the chance to acquire or further develop the skills demanded by companies and to develop cooperation with international firms useful for their future job.
172 grants have been awarded for traineeships abroad, of which 160 financed by EU funds.
The fields of study that were more involved are the following:
- Economics
- Medicine
- Natural Sciences
- Architecture
- Psychology
- Foreign Languages
- Engineering
Students and recent graduates in all types of courses offered by partner universities have had the opportunity to benefit from a hands-on learning approach based on practical activities to be carried out in a work environment; this being the main goal, attention has been paid to the quality of receiving institutions. Different types of institutions were chosen in order to meet students’ needs, among which are the following:
- universities and research centres (for students wishing to carry out either thesis work or research activities during job placement)
- language schools and translation and interpretation agencies
- small and medium-size manufacturing enterprises
- public bodies
- chambers of commerce
- hospitals
- local and governmental institutions
- large companies
- associations, foundations and NGOs
- architectural firms
- museums and libraries
- law firms
- tourism enterprises
- consultancy firms
- schools of different levels of education.
As far as the goals of specific traineeships are concerned, participants have generally acquired the relevant skills. In particular, they have had the possibility to acquire or further develop:
- key competences such as e-skills, entrepreneurship, critical thinking and problem solving
- hard skills with reference to their field of study and the use of foreign languages at work
- soft skills such as promoting business relationships with enterprises, institutions and associations outside their own country, creating networks, debating, public speaking, mediating and negotiating, synthesizing information and accommodating conflicting interests.
As far as recognition is concerned, then, results are equally satisfactory: although the process is still ongoing for mobility periods ending in September, the vast majority of students has so far obtained credit recognition for their traineeship mobility.
Funding has been distributed among the six participating universities based on the requests of each of them. Every single university has played a pivotal role and has contributed to the project by performing key functions and carrying out core activities through its own office responsible for the implementation of Erasmus+ traineeship projects.

Promoter of transnational relations

Unipi Team Leader: Francesco Marcelloni, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation and Relations

The Mobility Consortium PRT-"Promoter of transnational relations" was born from the long lasting cooperation among six large and medium Italian Universities: the Universities of Pisa, Padua, Trieste, Catania and Venice: Ca' Foscari and Iuav.
The objective of the project was to organize traineeship mobility so that participants, from different degree courses, could acquire soft and hard skills and could be able, after the mobility experience, to work in international contexts, having developed transnational relations between the business world and its stakeholders.
The project intended to respond to the needs in term of skills, expressed by local companies and employers. Through the research work carried out in particular by the labour market Observatory of the University of Padua, we are able to understand better these needs and one of the key demands by companies is to have graduates able to work in international contexts, able to work using foreign languages and to network also at a transnational level.
The project addressed students of all the disciplines with a greater attention to students in social, political sciences and humanities, who usually encounter more difficulties in entering the world of work and need to have in their curriculum some qualified international traineeship experiences, to increase their employability.
During the academic year 2016/17 the Consortium organised 219 traineeship mobilities, and 185 were funded with Erasmus funds.
The traineeships have had an average duration of three months and 17 days and took place mainly in hosting partners such as: language schools, law firms, consultancy firms, local bodies, corporations, banks, chambers of Commerce, international foundations, museums, libraries, NGOs, research institutes and universities.
Hosting partners were 195 in 25 different countries. 69 participants were recent graduates.
Most of the participants considered that the training activities were relevant and in line with their educational programme and would work in the hosting organization if they had the chance. Almost all participants are satisfied with the mobility experience.
More than half of the participants said they could not face the mobility experience without the grant, and this gives an idea of the importance of the program for the students, for the enrichment of their training path and for the fundamental contribution that the program gives to internationalization of curricula.
As for the qualitative objectives of internships, participants generally have acquired the skills and competencies that had been foreseen in the learning agreements.
The skills were those required by companies working in a globalised context: skills related to the use of foreign languages in the workplace, hard skills related to the study course, but above all soft skills such as communication, networking, problem-solving skills.
By analyzing the participants report we can see that more than 90% of the participants thinks their problem solving skills are improved, they have learned better how to plan and carry out their learning independently, learned better how to see the value of different cultures, they are more able to cooperate with people from other backgrounds and cultures, and they know better their strengths and weaknesses. The majority of the participants found that their language proficiency in a foreign language has improved during the mobility.
The absolute majority of participants believe that they will have more opportunities to find a job after the mobility, they have clearer ideas about their professional goals, and almost all participants would like to work in an international environment.

przywracanie życia zabytkom

In our project „Renovation – bringing monuments to life” took part 20 students of Comprehensive Schools of Building and Construction in Gdańsk. These students acquire knowledge in professions such as technician of restoration of architectural elements and technician of wood technology.
The appointed students took part in a two-week placement (apprenticeship), which was held in Pisa (Italy). These students worked on the project in laboratories of the Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry Department, University of Pisa and participated in restoration of frescoes in Campo Santo, which allowed to get to know modern research methods of wood and familiarization with the techniques of restoration at the highest level.
The project lasted from 01.06.2017 to 31.05.2019. The project partner was Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry Department, University of Pisa.
Our project fitted very well in the European growth strategy ‘Europa 2020’, and it is also consistent with the educational policy of our province, city and school. Taking into consideration the growing importance of youth’s mobility flow and the care of vocational education, we were undertaking actions which encouraged students to cooperate with foreign partners. The aim of the project was to support students in acquiring professional and social competences through getting familiar with new technologies related with renovation of monuments and to strengthen both multicultural bonds and to respect mutually completed work. Thanks to the participation in this project our teachers got familiar with one of the European technical languages well enough to enable basic communication. Moreover, another aim of the project was to raise the European dimension of vocational school through starting cooperation with foreign job market and the institutions of higher education. The teachers who took part in the project together with the students, gained additional experience in setting and realising practical trainings in restoration of architectural elements and properties of wood using the latest techniques, and in particular the knowledge of innovative solutions for maintenance of monuments.
Our students, by gaining their first professional experience abroad, increased their knowledge, qualifications essential in their profession skills, which are directly related with new techniques used in the restoration, knowledge of innovative solutions applied to study properties of wood and practical skills of conservation usage.
Methodology used for project purposes consisted of few stages which played an important part and also determined the project’s success. Methodology embraced all the actions undertaken by the project partners, namely, activities that enabled the participants for mobility, attractive practical trainings, professional and cultural trips as well as monitoring evaluation and dissemination. Completing practical trainings in renovation in Italy let our students become familiar with solutions met in renovator’s and wood technologist’s work other than the ones in Poland. As for social competences, our students learned from each other. They practiced also the ability to cooperate and to share gained knowledge. It had and will have its impact on limiting the number of students finishing their education too early. The direct results also involved knowledge of tradition, history, culture and Italian architecture. It will later become the sense of the European togetherness. The long-term results will be tightly connected with vocational and social competences of our students.
