🇪🇺 Erasmus+ Learning Mobility in Italy | Partnerships in VET

Taking learning beyond the classroom and turning the local area into a space for professional growth: this is the approach of Submeet – Incontrarsi per Crescere, an Italian non-profit association based in Abruzzo, on Italy’s Adriatic coast, with activities centred around Pescara, Chieti and Vasto.
We work with schools, training providers and organisations across Europe to develop learning experiences that connect participants’ skills with local expertise and opportunities.

🔹 VET | Opportunities for learners and staff
For upper secondary school students, we specialise in project-based learning (PBL) programmes, typically lasting two weeks. Practical workshops, industry visits and encounters with businesses and professionals contribute to a defined project challenge, leading to tangible student outputs.

We believe this approach is particularly well suited to short-term mobility: it enables learners to participate actively, apply their knowledge and develop professional, language and teamwork skills.
Our main areas of expertise include:
• Engineering, automation and Industry 4.0
• ICT, digital skills and cybersecurity
• Health and social care
• Hospitality, catering and tourism
• Hair and beauty

For longer stays, we can also explore work placements within local businesses and organisations, depending on participants’ profiles, learning objectives and the availability of suitable hosts.

🏡 Practical and logistical support
We can arrange accommodation, meals, local transport and support throughout the stay, including apartment accommodation for longer periods.
References from schools and organisations we have worked with are available on request, including Bury College, North West Regional College in Derry, and Lancaster & Morecambe College.

🤝 Looking for a partner in Italy for VET
Send us a private message or contact [email protected], outlining your subject area, participant profiles, preferred dates and learning objectives. Together, we can explore a programme suited to your group.

🇪🇺 Il digitale include quando le competenze diventano accessibili.

Oggi Submeet ha portato questo messaggio a Didacta Italia – Edizione Abruzzo, a Lanciano.

Su invito di INDIRE, Elio Bucciantonio ha presentato DIGI-DISABILITY nella terza giornata della manifestazione, dedicata all’educazione degli adulti.

Coordinato da Submeet e realizzato con partner di Turchia e Lituania, il progetto Erasmus+ è nato da una domanda concreta: come rendere il digitale accessibile e utile nella vita quotidiana delle persone adulte con disabilità intellettiva?

Dall’ascolto dei bisogni sono nati percorsi formativi progressivi, video e materiali gratuiti, pensati per le persone, gli educatori e le famiglie. Strumenti per comunicare, apprendere e accedere ai servizi con maggiore autonomia.

Grazie a INDIRE per l’invito e per l’opportunità di condividere questa esperienza: la cooperazione europea acquista valore quando i risultati diventano risorse anche per altri. 🤝

**TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS – IT AND STEM – THROUGH WORK-BASED LEARNING**
**Tailor-made programmes for upper secondary school and VET students**

A short mobility can become a meaningful learning experience when activities are designed around students’ existing skills, their field of study and realistically achievable outcomes.

However, ten working days present certain limitations for a conventional company-based work placement. Induction, familiarisation with the organisation, mentoring and gradual involvement in activities take time, potentially reducing opportunities for students to participate effectively in work processes.

**The challenge increases with VET group mobilities**, which require companies willing to host several students simultaneously while providing each participant with relevant tasks, supervision and practical learning opportunities. Establishing these conditions within such a short period can be particularly difficult.

For this reason, **Submeet, drawing on years of experience in vocational education and training mobility, has developed a training model tailored to students’ needs**, in collaboration with a technical partner specialising in IT, programming and artificial intelligence applications.

The model combines **technical workshops delivered through Work-Based Learning (WBL), technical visits to companies and exchanges with VET schools in the same vocational field**. This combination provides a well-rounded experience: students undertake guided practical activities, observe professional environments and discover different approaches to learning and work.

Programmes comprise **14 days of mobility, including 10 training days, with cultural activities at the weekend**. Each programme is agreed with the sending school, adapting content, tools and tasks to the students’ field of study, existing skills and interests.

**How the workshops work**

Students work individually and in small groups on tasks inspired by professional situations: they analyse a brief, design a solution, use technical tools and test their results, supported by trainers and industry professionals.

Company visits and exchanges with VET schools form an integral part of the programme, connecting workshop activities with education and workplace settings. The experience concludes with the presentation of a final product or project and feedback on the skills practised.

🚀 W.I.D.E. prende il via!

Oggi si è tenuto online il primo Kick-off Meeting di W.I.D.E. – Women’s Inclusion through Digital Empowerment, il nuovo progetto Erasmus+ dedicato all’inclusione digitale delle donne con minori opportunità.

Il partenariato riunisce quattro organizzazioni europee:

🇱🇺 Turkish Women’s Club of Luxembourg (TWCL) – Lussemburgo, coordinatore del progetto
🇮🇹 Submeet – Association – Italia
🇧🇪 Mentis Education World – Belgio
🇹🇷 Çukurova İlçe Millî Eğitim Müdürlüğü – Türkiye

Durante l’incontro, i partner hanno condiviso e definito alcuni elementi fondamentali per l’avvio delle attività: il logo di W.I.D.E., la strategia di comunicazione e disseminazione e gli strumenti comuni che accompagneranno il lavoro del partenariato.

Nei prossimi mesi, W.I.D.E. coinvolgerà donne con minori opportunità in un percorso finalizzato a rafforzare le competenze digitali, l’autonomia e la fiducia nell’utilizzo degli strumenti digitali nella vita quotidiana.

Questo è soltanto l’inizio.

Seguiteci per conoscere, passo dopo passo, le attività e i risultati del progetto attraverso il sito Submeet, i nostri canali social ed EPALE.

The W.I.D.E. journey has just begun.

🌱 **ThinkAgriCircular entra nella sua fase finale**

Si è concluso a Pescara il **Transnational Project Meeting di ThinkAgriCircular**, un momento importante di confronto tra i partner per fare il punto sul lavoro svolto e programmare gli ultimi passi del progetto.

Dopo mesi dedicati all’agricoltura sostenibile, all’economia circolare e all’apprendimento degli adulti, il partenariato si prepara ora alla fase conclusiva: la redazione del **report finale** e, soprattutto, la pubblicazione del **corso e-learning ThinkAgriCircular**.

Il corso, attualmente nella fase di piloting, sarà presto disponibile online e offrirà a tutti gli adulti interessati l'opportunità di approfondire in modo semplice e accessibile i principi dell’**agricoltura sostenibile e dell’economia circolare**.

Per SUBMEET è stato un piacere accogliere i partner a Pescara e condividere con loro non solo il lavoro di progetto, ma anche il territorio, le sue tradizioni e i suoi sapori.

🔗 Presto condivideremo il link al corso e ai risultati finali del progetto.



Un ringraziamento speciale a Di Vaira per averci accolto e accompagnato alla scoperta di un modello concreto di agricoltura sostenibile e circolare.
