Abstract(s)
The European Higher Education Area and the Erasmus Intensive Program, among others, enable the mobility of students and the development of interpersonal skills, such as working in diverse and intercultural teams, the ability to negotiate in di erent languages, decision-making, problem-solving and a pro-active attitude.
In this context, the Expeducom project, nanced under Erasmus+ K2, has the main objective of developing and implementing innovative pedagogical practices related to experiential learning, aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 12.
This partnership allowed students from 7 di erent countries to work, learn and compare perspectives in a pedagogically diverse environment. e project contains four innovative aspects: citizenship, sustainable development, global warming, technologies and healthy lifestyle. Methodological support was provided to foster the development of this approach among trainers and future teachers. A handbook was also developed with guidelines on experiential teaching-learning, as well as with case studies of experiences developed with children. At the end of the project, a study was also performed to analyze the perspectives of the participating students on the impact of the project on their educational action. The data revealed that the Expeducom project had an impact on students’ practices, as well as on the development of transversal competences.
