# Erasmus+

![](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/images/images/rasmus.jpg)

Swiss Cottage has a range of international partners, across Europe and beyond.

This gives us greater visibility to the latest new technologies and innovations in special education, to support the continued development of our own provision. Through our Teaching School and Development and Research Centre, we participate in a number of Erasmus+ activities. Erasmus+ is the European Commission Programme for education, youth and sport.

Through Erasmus+ staff and pupils at Swiss Cottage access a range of valuable learning opportunities. For example, pupils in our Post-16 visited Sweden, to explore job roles in IKEA.

### Erasmus+: Trip to Sweden

Also, over the past four years, all of our newly qualified teachers have collaborated with special school settings in Iceland.  You can find out more about on-going Erasmus+ projects we are involved in, by clicking on the links below.

### Imagining the Future

![](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/images/images/Imagining-The-Future-Artwork-w-Border.png)

The ‘Imagining the Future’ (or “IF”) Project ran from 2015-2018 and involved collaboration between the following partners:

- Swiss Cottage School, Development and Research Centre (London, UK)
- Northridge School (Doncaster, UK)
- Municipality of Linkoping (Sweden)
- Junedalskollen (Jonkoping, Sweden)
- Centre for Special Educational Needs and Psychology (Vilinus, Lithuania)

It was a project for defining new approaches to supporting young Europeans with special educational needs to access supported employment and the community.  Through the project, young people and professionals from special schools in the United Kingdom and Sweden visited innovative overseas supported internship programmes, accessing unique vocational learning activities.  Other project activities included the development of the ‘Share Fair’ website for teaching aspects of financial literacy, and the creation of curriculum and assessment materials to support the teaching of independent living skills.  Project evaluation was led by professionals from the Centre of Special Educational Needs and Psychology.

‘Imagining the Future’ was funded by Erasmus+: the European Commission programme for Education, Youth and Sport.
