Stays abroad for adult education staff
If you work in adult education, you can find inspiration and foster your professional development and personal growth abroad. You can immerse yourself in a foreign educational environment and observe, learn, and exchange experiences with colleagues from all over the world. We will support you financially.
What it's all about
Stays abroad offer opportunities for exchange and professional and personal development. Options include, for example, attending a course, doing a job shadowing or working as a guest lecturer. You immerse yourself in a foreign environment and exchange experiences with colleagues from all over the world. Thus you contribute to creating an international work environment at your institution.
You work in adult education as a trainer, andragogue, workshop leader, career counsellor, etc. or you are part of the technical or administrative staff of an adult education centre (e.g. management, IT support, accounting, administration).
Stays of between 2 to 60 consecutive days are possible.
All over the world (outgoing). There is also the option of inviting adult education staff from abroad to Switzerland (incoming).
You organise your stay in consultation with your institution, which submits the funding application to us.
Two deadlines per year: March and October
