Internazionale - Erasmus + - ITS Academy AgriPuglia

La Fondazione ITS Agroalimentare Puglia ha ricevuto l’approvazione della “Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) 2021– 2027 da parte della Commissione Europea. L’ECHE definisce il quadro qualitativo generale in cui s’inscrivono le attività di cooperazione europea e internazionale che un’istituzione d’istruzione superiore può condurre nel contesto del programma. L’attribuzione della ECHE è la precondizione affinché un’istituzione d’istruzione superiore possa candidarsi a partecipare a tutte le iniziative del Programma Erasmus +.

Attraverso l’ECHE la Fondazione ITS Agroalimentare Puglia si è impegnata ad assicurare i requisiti qualitativi relativi alla mobilità Erasmus, tra cui il rispetto dei principi fondamentali relativi al riconoscimento dell’attività accademica svolta all’estero, la non discriminazione e le pari opportunità di accesso alla mobilità internazionale per tutti gli studenti.

L’ECHE 2021 – 2027 è strettamente correlata al documento “Erasmus Policy Statement”, nel quale ciascuna Istituto illustra la propria strategia per l’internazionalizzazione. La Fondazione ITS Agroalimentare Puglia ritiene che l’internazionalizzazione sia un’attività strategica per il perseguimento di molteplici obiettivi di rilevanza comunitaria, nazionale e regionale, trasversale a tutte le sue funzioni istituzionali, essenziale per la crescita della competitività della comunità europea e per la valorizzazione del capitale umano.

The objective of the mobility will in fact be primarily but not exclusively to enable young people to do an trainship abroad. This experience means is confronted with a culture and a different
language but also to test themselves in a context where the organization of work , the relationship between colleagues and hierarchies are perceived in a different way , and where even the office
work more daily can become a real challenge.

up challenges , able to manage different situations under stress. Study abroad the opportunity to acquire open-mindedness and independence.
