Erasmus takes teachers and students from a school in Olhão to Italy
Recently, the E.B. I / JI José Carlos da Maia School, located in Olhão, began an important international exchange through the Erasmus program. This project aims not only at academic education, but also at building a significant value in the cultural and social formation of the participants. In this exciting journey, teachers and students traveled to Italy, enriching their educational experiences and establishing bonds that will certainly last.
Erasmus and its relevance in contemporary education
The Erasmus program is not only an opportunity to travel, but a vital tool for enhancing learning and multicultural coexistence. The mobility that allows students and teachers to travel and study outside their country offers a rich international experience that requires adaptation and understanding of new cultural and social contexts.
Furthermore, this mobility allowed students to live with Italian families, a practice that provides a direct form of cultural immersion. Teachers’ accounts show that these experiences are essential for young people to understand and value cultural diversity. Participation in thematic workshops.
Interaction with Italian labor law.
Cultural immersion through foster care.
- Visits to historical and cultural sites in Rome.
- Impact of mobility on students’ education
International mobility is not limited to providing adventures; it has a direct impact on students’ education and future. During their stay in Italy, students not only learned about conflict management, but also improved skills such as empathy, communication and adaptation to new environments. These aspects are vital in a globalized world, where the ability to adapt culturally is a significant differentiator.
The third phase of this exciting Erasmus project will take participants to Kelme, Lithuania, in October 2025. This new mobility promises to continue the journey of learning and cultural exchange, enabling educators and students from Olhão to further broaden their horizons and understand the importance of effective conflict management in schools.
The integration of topics such as culture and labor legislation between the participating countries points to a rich network of mutual learning. The coordinator of the “Crush” project, Carla Cássio, mentions that: “It was a trip that will remain in the memories of students and teachers, during which new friendships were also born.”
