ESMOVIA and partners started the month of February off strong with our LTTA event (Learning, Training, and Teaching) hosted here in Valencia, the week of February 7th to the 10th. This event was part of our European Project EMoCC – European Mobility Career Counseling project which focuses on giving career counselors support in their jobs and new resources to use with their clients.

This project aims to both understand and stimulate, job mobility experiences within the European Union, with the overall outcome being the construction of two different MOOCs (massive open online courses) addressed to career counselors:

  • MOOC 1 on Career Counseling
  • MOOC 2 on European job mobility

During this dynamic event, each partner, based on their expertise, gave mini speeches on different topics related to the brainstorming and design of MOOC 2. Topics discussed were basic mobility knowledge and competences, awareness of diversity, cross-cultural capacities, social inclusion and legal aspects, within both the migrant and non-migrant populations.

Through discussion and direct practice of some of these techniques, we are one step further in our project, and happy to share it directly with you.

More information on EMoCC project can be found in https://emocc.eu

We want our participants to be ready for the adventure that is waiting for them here in Valencia! But as for all adventures to go well and finish in the most positive way, a previous detailed preparation is needed!

During the years, ESMOVIA has created and introduced different tools to support our team in the organization of the mobility and to make things easier for our partners and participants.

In ESMOVIA we are supported by a range of mobility tools that will make your journey run smoothly:

1.) MASYMO

Our MAnagement SYstem for MObility collects all the information related to the project and its participants and produces all of the necessary documents.

You have now all the tools to enjoy this journey with ESMOVIA!

During the first days in Valencia, we organize a City Tour for all the participants that decide to join our ESMOVIA experience!

The best way to start your mobility

We consider this activity a must in the mobility programme, as it helps participants discover the city center, its squares, modern buildings, and narrow central streets. In this way students feel more self-confident and there are less probabilities to get lost while walking in the center or while reaching ESMOVIA.

During the City Tour, participants realize how close our office is situated to the most touristicplaces: Plaza de Toros, main train station, city hall square, central market.

Some details

The walking city tour lasts around one hour and is led by our official guides in English, Spanish or Italian, depending on the characteristics of each group. The guide offers historical insights and fun facts that participants can also easily remember during the following weeks.

Tips

The participants can also ask for some tips on what to visit and eat during their free time, how to reach the touristic areas and where and when there are free entrances and events that are taking places during their stay period.

More information on what to visit can be found in the ESMOVIA handbook  and in our website.

Let’s start walking!

During the Welcome Meeting in our office we hand the participants their ESMOVIA mobility kit: the ESMOVIA traineeship handbook, a t-shirt and a tote bag are always included!

From the idea to the result

ESMOVIA traineeship handbook is the result of various years of work and time dedicated to find solutions that can simplify the big amount of information exchange between the participants and our staff.

The handbook reflects the entire spirit of ESMOVIA: understanding our participants’ needs, providing them with user friendly tools that make their experience in Valencia profitable and enjoyable.

Characteristics

Our aim has been to create a tool that collects all the mobility information in one place but without leaving out the interactive and friendly user aspects.

After a deep analysis of the beneficiaries’ profile it was clear for us that this handbook had to have a catchy design, be easy to read and include the most recent technologies such as QR codes.

Let’s have some insights!
