• School policy plan on internationalisation
• Will there be an international coordinator or a work group?
• How to become a good coordinator of internationalisation?
• The role of eTwinning,
• Erasmus+ KA201 and the new School Exchange Programme (KA229)
• How to fund your international projects and how to apply for European grants
• Formats of international project work and the best way to develop a (virtual) project,

• Embedding the European and international dimension in the curriculum,

Methodology of the course

• A general introduction on each of the topics.
• Participants share experiences and expertise on the topic.

Working individually or in groups on a concrete product to be used in your own school, such as composing a (new) school policy plan for internationalisation, setting up eTwinning projects or Erasmus KA229 projects with other participants present and writing the draft of such a 2- or 3-year project.
• Participants are given time to develop these outputs and the trainers coach and support them throughout the week, if necessary even long after courses have finished.
