Let’s Go! A Project Making Mobility a Reality for All Students and Staff
1 November 2007 – 31 October 2008
Summary
The Let’s Go project was launched to ensure that the issues that teachers and students face when going abroad to study, teach or research are brought to the centre of political debate. While the higher education community is aware of different problems, action is required from (governmental) institutions dealing with immigration, employability and social security. The results of successful projects surrounding mobility therefore need to be communicated to a wider public. The Let’s Go Campaign promoted mobility of students and staff to provide momentum for change and provided information on the benefits of mobility as well as push for the removal of barriers to mobility.
The project activities comprised:
- Campaign materials and national campaigns carried out jointly by teacher and student unions;
- An interactive wiki-style website in which students and staff can exchange knowledge on mobility and share good and bad practices;
▪ A mobility barometer, featuring the different mobility situations for both students and higher education and research personnel in each country within the European region; - The “Let’s Go! – Where to now?” Mobility Campaign Conference (Lille, France) finalising the campaign.
