The research goes beyond identifying challenges—it also provides practical recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of Erasmus+ KA1 mobility programs and ensure high-quality learning experiences.
Key Barriers and Enabling Factors
- Cultural and organizational factors: In some countries, international mobility is a well-integrated part of professional development, while in others, it remains underutilized.
- Structural challenges: Access to mobility programs depends on institutional frameworks, administrative requirements, and available funding, which can either encourage or discourage participation.
- Individual motivation and information gaps: Many adult educators and learners are unaware of the full benefits of mobility programs or struggle to find relevant opportunities.
Recommendations for More Effective and High-Quality Mobility Programs
- Raising awareness and promoting engagement: Clear communication about the benefits of mobility can help institutions and individuals recognize its value.
- Institutional support and capacity building: Providing mentoring and practical guidance for organisations can strengthen the impact of mobility initiatives.
- Improving the quality of mobility programs: The study emphasises that beyond increasing participation rates, the focus should be on ensuring high-quality, well-prepared, and well-followed-up mobility experiences that create lasting benefits.
