In 2020, at least 20% of those graduating in the European Higher Education Area should have had a study or training period abroad.
(Communiqué of the Conference of European Ministers Responsible for Higher Education, Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve, 28-29 April 2009)
But what happens to the remaining 80%?
European Commission Report: “European Higher Education in the world”: Higher education policies must …ensure that the large majority of learners who are not mobile… are nonetheless able to acquire the international skills required in a globalised world (2013:6)”

Different set-ups which Telecollaboration can take
1. A Class of learners in Germany carry out collaborative tasks online with a class of learners in Ireland – using German and English
3. Before leaving on mobility programmes to the UK, students from Italy are ‘matched’ and interact online with British students
planning to travel to Italy.
2. A class of students in Spain collaborate online with a class in USA. This is combined with week-long study visits by both groups to partner
universities.
