Welcome


This page explains how to manage the list of Learning, Teaching and Training Activities in Mobility Tool+. 

A strategic partnerships project can optionally include transnational learning, teaching and training activities for which support for travel, subsistence and linguistic preparation can be given.

These activities must be justified by the added value that they bring to the project achievements.
