LUNA provides all vocational students with equal opportunities to participate in the international activities, no students are excluded due to social or cultural background. There is specific attention to the inclusion of the lower-level students. The number of participants in LUNA will increase significantly compared to similar projects over the past years. This is caused by the importance that is given to internationalism by the school managers. We estimate a 15% raise in the number of participants compared to previous years.

Both in traditional fields of agriculture as well as more contemporary fields of agriculture such as water, bio, eco, agri techniques, food security, etc. Description of activities LUNA will be used to: pilot the implementation of ECVET-units; enhance foreign language skills of the participants; organize meetings to develop new ECVET-units; enhance the quality of foreign work placements as the partner-companies will be approached via the reliable EUROPEA-network, where MOU’s about quality control are present; Methodology to be used in carrying out the project; Pilot exchanges will be based on ECVET-units, written in cooperation with the hosting organizations that will also be responsible for the organization of the practical components of the programs.
