Movetia or how to promote exchange in education and training

Ever heard of Movetia? It is the National Agency for Exchange and Mobility.

They promote young people to take part in an extended exchange and mobility scheme at least once during the course of their education ensuring that exchange and mobility are firmly anchored in education policy.

They fund and support exchange & mobility projects as well as activities in education and training - in Switzerland and abroad - both in schools and in the extracurricular sphere. They link up organisations and institutions in the area of exchange and mobility to bring together providers of projects and activities, basically all those who are keen to get involved.

For example, in Swiss upper secondary schools, vocational education and training schools, native speakers enrich language lessons and exemplify cultural aspects of their country of origin. These language assistants, usually young students from abroad, are placed by the national agency Movetia in collaboration with educationsuisse.

This is how a Swiss Abroad from Canada found herself working  as a language assistant at the Kantonsschule Zug since September 2018.

Applications for language assistants for the school year 2019/20 are being accepted until the end of March 2019. For detailed information about the Language Assistance programme, kindly contact edith.funicello@movetia.ch or info@educationsuisse.ch.
