Practical Arrangements
Although a great number of students will be involved in the school activities of the project, only a part of them will be able to participate in the mobilities and get engaged in the PTT activities that require interaction with their peers from the other partner countries.
For this reason, it is paramount that these students have a good command of English, the working language, in order to benefit the most from this interaction and make a significant contribution to the aims and goals of the project. Each partner school will be able to decide on the criteria of selecting students, which could be administering a test or using the English teachers’ evaluation based on performance or class grades(GPA). Partner schools can also base the selection of students on other criteria as well, such as special talents, interests, motivation and project involvement, to name just a few.
Different groups of students can participate in each mobility, so that more students have the chance to take part in the Erasmus+ experience. Similarly the teachers who are involved in the project will be able to accompany the group of students in each LTT activity. The participating teachers will have been actively involved in the implementation of the project, have a profound interest in disseminating the project goals through their teaching at school and be able and willing to contribute to the LTT activities in a constructive way.
A good command of English will also be of great importance. As the LTT activities have been carefully planned by the Erasmus+ team to be relevant to aims of the project, all participants will be adequately prepared to contribute to these activities in an effective and constructive way, having an active involvement in the “Love Life” project at their schools and thus having gained a deeper insight on the content and goals of the entire project.
The teachers will act as facilitators and mentors, encouraging students to develop initiative, creativity and cooperation skills in researching, gathering information and implementing the project tasks. The teachers of the Erasmus+ team will also be responsible for arranging the practical aspects of the mobilities, such as making travel arrangements, taking care of accommodation and ensuring the safety of the mobilities in every possible way. A European insurance card will be required of all travelling participants to cover possible health needs during the mobilities. Teachers will also ensure having the parents/guardians written consent for all LTT mobilities.
