The program of student mobility was carried out for the entire first quarter of the current school year (2014-2015). The students followed the lessons in the host school and came into contact with new methods and teaching techniques and new languages, cultures and realities. They were followed and assisted by expert tutors, both in terms of the educational aspects and for those extra-curricular and housed at boarding schools, residences, collegial structures or other facilities provided by the host school. The costs of travel and accommodation were fully covered by the project. The period spent in another institution was fully recognized in terms of loans, the return of the students at the school to which they belong, with a real added value for the participating students.
