The financial commitment to sustain mobility in this sector amounted to 7.310.885 Euros (+27% over 2017 budget). On average, each project will allow the mobility of 23 people. The most active regions are Emilia Romagna, Sicily and Puglia.

Regarding the destinations chosen for training mobility, more than 26% chose to attend courses in the UK, followed by Ireland, Finland, Spain and France. As for the subjects of the courses chosen by the teachers, priority was given to courses on the use of innovative didactic methods, followed by new technologies and digital competences and learning/teaching of foreign languages.
