The English Department is opening applications for the Erasmus+ long-term mobility programme for the 2026/27 school year.
Up to five current sexta and second-year students can take part. The programme offers:
- one 6-week placement at Otaniemen lukio in Espoo (Helsinki), Finland, where classes are taught in Finnish, not English,
- two 3-month placements at local secondary schools in Ireland (Grennan College, Thomastown, Kilkenny),
- and two 3-month placements at a secondary school in Treviso, Italy, where classes are taught in Italian, not English.
The grant covers all expenses.
We’ll select students based on:
- English skills
- Overall academic results
- Motivation
- Involvement in school life and representation of the school
- Soft skills such as interpersonal relationships, communication, responsibility, and flexibility
