Mobility goes digital: Your Virtual Mobility

Content

We live in weird, unexpected times... almost crazy. We have all seen great changes around us and within us. Whatever you may think, the Coronavirus pandemic has revolutionized our lives. We are a little curious, a little afraid but this is the new "normality". The processes in the world of work or Erasmus+ exchanges have also changed. New challenges were introduced, new skills must necessarily be developed and acquired. At the core of these new challenges stands smart working seasoned with cross-cultural work, i.e. in collaboration with workers from all over the world, typical of a globalised world where markets have many connections between different countries.It is therefore necessary to become the master of your own resources, invest in them and train oneself ad hoc: work toward a specific goal and not only towards occupying your working schedule with a critical spirit, willpower, flexibility, willingness to overcome critical issues and, above all, to be able to get out of one's comfort zone.That's how we conceived this playlist, a series of missions-activities to guide you through this new Virtual Mobility challenge.Ready, set, go…!

The Cambridge dictionary defines a STEREOTYPE as a “set idea that people have about what someone or something is like, especially an idea that is wrong”.Surely you have traveled outside your country in your life or even met and dealt with people of different nationalities, ethnicities and backgrounds, in your city or in the places you normally go to. Part of the benefits of Erasmus+ programme is to appreciate the diversity between cultures by overcoming stereotypes and preconceptions. Through these activities we would like to help you to better understand the stereotypes that exist in different countries, but also to push you towards an understanding of the founding concepts of the European Union, to fight racism, intolerance and discrimination.
