Teacher and Staff Exchange

In addition to student exchange and student work placements, teacher/expert exchanges are important forms of international co-operation, including also exchanges for non-teaching staff.

Benefits from Teacher Exchange

Teacher exchange helps the students at the host institution to learn from experts of their field. From the teachers’ point of view, teacher exchange does not only have an effect on the mobile and host teachers and their professional development, but good practices and results can be spread widely. Multicultural teaching can improve pedagogical skills, and vice versa: good pedagogical skills also contribute to working in a multicultural environment.

European Union’s Lifelong Learning Programme and its sub-programme Erasmus encourages and supports teaching staff mobility. Other staff training mobility is also supported by the Erasmus Programme.
