ERASMUS LEARNING
ACADEMY
LEARN ABOUT US, OUR TEAM AND OUR EXPERIENCE

ELA MISSION
The Erasmus Learning Academy (ELA) is a training centre that strongly supports and believes in the
innovation, modernisation and internationalisation of education.

Our aim is to foster excellence and quality improvements in education and training. We design and
organise training courses and structured training events as well as job-shadowing and study visits for
teachers, trainers, headmaster and other education staff in order to support them in the improvement
of their competences and the quality of education provided, by acquiring transversal skills and specific
knowledge on innovative teaching methods and practices. At national and regional level, ELA
cooperates closely with several schools and public institutions such as the Region Emilia-Romagna,
the local council of Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna Europe Direct point.

ELA KNOWLEDGE
We work in the education sector since more than 10 years, thus we know the real context and the
challenges which teachers are facing every day. Fueled by our genuine, motivated and passionate
approach, we regularly participate in international training and European conference to keep our
know-how up-to-date.

We holds extensive experience in organizing international training courses for teachers, headmasters
and educational staff and in the last 5 years we’ve successfully received and trained over 3000
teachers and education staff coming from all over Europe. We know how crucial is providing
linguistic, pedagogical and cultural preparation before the mobility, as well as support and assistance
after it. That's why we go the extra mile to support and guide participants providing clear and
comprehensive information before the courses and making them feel comfortable and safe.

CAN DO FOR YOU TO ORGANISE THE MOST ENJOYABLE

360° SUPPORT
​W e support our partners in every step of the project: from
application, to preparation, to monitoring and evaluation, to
organization of practical arrangements and collection of all final
documentation. During application phase, we can guide you with
our experience, providing concrete tips as well as the learning
outcomes and daily schedules of our courses.

We tailor our training courses to both our participants learning


and personal needs. For this reason, we provide personalized
working methods and training programme based on the
participants thus ensuring that the competences learned are
relevant and applicable to real contexts. This is why our courses
are unique and special, each in its own way.

For groups of at least 6-8 participants we can organize a


personalized session in the language, topic and location that suit
you the best.

At the end of each course, we provide participants with photos of


the activities and a summary video to help our partners in the
dissemination phase.

CULTURAL IMMERSION
We put a special emphasis on the social and cultural dimension of
our courses. We are in love with our culture and we’re glad to offer
foreigners the opportunity to get a taste of it.

Beside the training activities, for the participants interested to


discover our artistic heritage and traditions, we organize cultural
and recreational activities. Upon request, we organize guided
tours to some of the most beautiful Italian cities like Florence and
Venice. During our courses in Palermo, we can arrange visits to the
pictoresque Cefalù. When in Tenerife, participants will have the
opportunity to visit El Teide volcano and relax in Lago Martianez.
