Since 2010 VEBU takes part in educational EU-projects or coordinates them. Thereby it became clear that closer cooperation with partner organizations in other European countries lead to a higher range, synergy effects in human resources and infrastructure , cross-sectoral partnerships with businesses and political actors and a better reputation of the organisations involved. In the coming years VEBU and its partner institutions want to take the next step, which is supported by the learning and mobility experiences of employees: the establishment of an international organization and thereby the increase and diversification of target groups, cooperation potential and attractiveness of the educative offer. "Qualification the International Way" allows 25 mobilities for the staff working in the informal adult education sector. The mobilities allow access to intercultural competence , professional qualifications and language proficiency. Above all, the staff gets to know its colleagues abroad, learn from each other and experience each other's cultural background. The project carries out 18 mobilities for staff to participate in a 4-day communication and ICT course as well as a volunteer development and financial support for the adult learning facilities. Furthermore, staff takes part in seven 5-day informal learning stays in the departments management, Information campaigning, International Relations, Social Media, ICT and volunteer development. In return, VEBU organized two courses in his areas of expertise and receives seven visitors from the partner insitutions abroad for informal learning stays. Due to the reciprocity of attendances and informal learning stays an exchange of partner organizations is possible, which allows for learning in a peer-to-peer format. To ensure the smooth running of the learning periods and thus to guarantee a successful participation for the staff, partner contacts are set up stating prerequisites for participation, minimum quality of the course or mentoring, learning content and evaluation measures. On the other hand, learning arrangements with the participants are settled that determine the competence profile and the agreed learning objectives and contents of the planned learning stay and allow a pre-post-evaluation of the knowledge gain. The project quality is measured by a.) the number of participants in the learning stays, b.) the participants' satisfaction, c.) the knowledge acquisition and d.) the implementation quality of the learning stays. The learning experiences are documented by use of the Europass Mobility and the Europass Curriculum Vitae. Thanks to the mobility project we except a.) the methodological improvement of VEBU's information and education offer by developing new target grouos and increasing the attractiveness of adult learning offers and b.) set an example in terms of a European opening for other organizations in the local catchment area.
